Warriors 101, Mavericks 90: A 35-Point Second Quarter and a 51-30 War on the Glass

Yaxel Lendeborg stuffed the box score (21-10-6, +26) while Dallas got a 27-piece from Morez Johnson Jr. and still never led by more than two.

loss

Pistons +4.5(-108)

Detroit's Isaac Jones has been the most efficient interior scorer on this Vegas roster and Philly's group bleeds second-chance points. Take the points in a coin-flip game.

Settled: 76ers 101-93 — Detroit lost by 8, didn't cover. Jones's 22 wasn't enough against Broome's 19/13.

win

Warriors ML(+105)

Golden State's Vegas group moves the ball (top-3 in assists through the first week) and Dallas has leaned on iso guard play. Ball movement travels; hero ball doesn't.

Settled: Warriors 101-90. 22 team assists and a 51-30 rebounding edge; Lendeborg 21/10/6 ran the show.
