Stephen Nover's NBA Friday Spread Crusher
(NBA) Dallas vs. Toronto,
Point Spread: 11.50 | -102.00 Dallas (Away)
Result: Win
Toronto is riding high opening 5-0. The Raptors, though, have given up triple-digits in all of their games.

The Mavericks are much improved from last season with the additions of rookie point guard Luka Doncic and center DeAndre Jordan. Yet Dallas is below-the-radar. The Mavericks are sitting at 2-2. They should be 3-1, though, coming off a disgusting 111-104 road loss to the Hawks in which they blew a 26-point lead.

Dallas should come out hard after blowing that game to the Hawks. There's a good chance, too, the Mavericks get Harrison Barnes for the first time this season. He's been out with a hamstring injury. Barnes is an underrated veteran who has averaged close to 20 points each of the last two seasons.
