"All eyes are on Flagg, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft, as the Dallas Mavericks host the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday (9:30 p.m. ET, ESPN). Given where the odds have settled, what are the best bets to make on the versatile forward out of Duke in his first NBA game against Victor Wembanyama and company? Here are NBA betting experts André Snellings and Eric Moody with their favorites."
"Flagg is a do-everything prospect, but the lineup the team is starting the season with will need him to be a consistent second scoring option behind Anthony Davis. The Mavericks are strong in the paint and have shooters in the backcourt, so they will look to Flagg to be their primary perimeter offense creator with Kyrie Irving sidelined. I expect Flagg to come out aggressive as a scorer in his debut, particularly against a Spurs squad where his 6-foot-9 size is an advantage. The Spurs effectively start three guards, all 6-5 and under."
