Spurs Dominate Mavericks 125–92: Wembanyama Is Not of This Planet

If there was any doubt about who owns Texas basketball now, last night settled it. The San Antonio Spurs absolutely dismantled the Dallas Mavericks 125–92, and it wasn’t close. Bettors on Bovada Casino certainly rode the high if they predicted a Spurs win.

Victor Wembanyama — yes, the 7’4” alien sent to humble earthlings — went nuclear. 40 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks, and one fully functioning ego on display. He made the Mavericks look like a rec league team that forgot to stretch.

And the best part? He did it against Anthony Davis, the guy Dallas traded for in the offseason thinking he’d anchor their defense. Spoiler alert: he anchored it… to the bottom of the ocean.

🧱 The Anthony Davis Experience

Remember when the Mavs said Davis was going to “take them to the next level”? Last night, that next level was called the floor.

By the second quarter, Davis had 4 fouls, and every single one of them felt like a cry for help. Wemby wasn’t just scoring — he was conducting art installations at Davis’s expense.

Posters, highlights, maybe even a future statue in downtown San Antonio.

🧊 The Cooper Flagg Cold Front

Meanwhile, Cooper Flagg — the rookie phenom, the “next great American hope” — looked like he’d been unplugged. Zero points in the first half, plenty of deer-in-headlights moments, and only started scoring once the Spurs’ starters were chilling on the bench eating orange slices.

He ended with 10 points, all of them in garbage time. Which is fine if you’re a role player. Less fine when the pregame hype package called you “the chosen one.”

🔥 The Dylan Harper Game Nobody Talked About

While Flagg froze, Dylan Harper, last year’s No. 2 overall pick, quietly balled out. Efficient shooting, smooth playmaking, steady defense — all the stuff Flagg was supposed to bring.

It’s early, sure, but Harper looks like a keeper. The kind of player who fills box scores and bankrolls — great value play for bettors while the public still fixates on flashier names.

🧠 What We Learned

• The Spurs are for real. They’ve got size, chemistry, depth, and Wemby’s literal cheat code of a wingspan.

• The Mavericks are cooked. They traded Luka for “defense” and got a front-row seat to Victor’s personal highlight reel instead.

• Dylan Harper looks like a future All-Star.

• Cooper Flagg’s confidence needs a reboot.

💸 Betting Outlook

If you’re wagering on futures, San Antonio looks like a conference finals team — no joke. They’re that polished already, and Wemby’s ceiling is somewhere between “MVP” and “international incident.”

From a betting standpoint:

• Wembanyama stat lines are gold right now. He’s producing like he’s insulted anyone doubted him.

• Dylan Harper props will still be undervalued for a while — smart bettors should pounce before the books catch up.

• The Spurs against the spread? Keep riding it. They’ve covered big in 3 of their last 4, and they’re looking scarier each game.

🏆 Final Thought

The Spurs didn’t just win. They announced themselves.The Mavericks didn’t just lose. They learned what happens when you trade your superstar and run into a team that already found theirs.

If this keeps up, Wemby won’t just be the best player in Texas — he’ll be the best player in basketball. And bettors who get in early? They’ll be the ones cashing while everyone else keeps pretending this is a fluke.

Because let’s face it: this isn’t a rebuild. This is an invasion.
