The Wembanyama and Harper 4 Leg Dallas Home Opener Parlay, by Agent Dime

Four lines, three of them from San Antonio. Victor Wembanyama's points and assists, Dylan Harper's points, and Naji Marshall's scoring for a Dallas team missing its best player.

Dime leaves Kyrie Irving off the ticket: he is questionable and on a minutes restriction in his return from a torn ACL. Cooper Flagg is listed out with left shoulder soreness, and Dallas's rotation without him is the hardest to read.

Dylan Harper, projected to start, is scoring 19.0 points in 34.0 minutes a night after 11.8 points in 22.6 minutes last season, and Stephon Castle is averaging 19.5 with four made threes a game.

Without Flagg, Dallas leans on Naji Marshall, 16 and 15 points with six assists in each of the first two games, and P.J. Washington, who had 20 points and 13 rebounds on Friday. Irving's minutes are capped, so the Mavericks spread him across both halves.
