This is a big line for Desmond Bane who averages 34.5 PRA on the year. Bane has appeared in 9 games without Ja Morant this season and he averages more points, rebounds, and assists with Ja active than he does with Ja inactive. Couple that with the fact that Dallas are 9 point favorites in this game, this leads me to believe this line is inflated and this is a good spot to fade Bane.

I know there is no Ja but we have overreacted to that news and elevated Bane too much. I love a good under…and this is one.
