While Brooklyn's Mikel Brown Jr. (12.0 pts per game) provides extra backcourt depth alongside Porter Jr. and Randle, their season stats point to a tough assignment against a higher-rated Dallas lineup. A 9.5-point cover for Dallas rates a real chance if their offense hits its standard 113.2 rating.
