But the move to Memphis -4.5 could be a hint that the Mavs' star player is still on the mend. Memphis won both games with Doncic and Irving out of action for Dallas. So, just to recap: One of the best home first-half ATS teams is hosting the worst road first-half ATS team. There’s a shot Irving plays, as the All-Star guard returned from a three-game hiatus to face the L.A.
