Dallas Mavericks

Vegas Over/Under: 35.5

The Record Projection: 36-46 of fromal The Bet: Prevent lean over
To be very frank, I’d recommend leaning no matter in which the line is set for the Dallas Mavericks. And that is for one purpose: Rick Carlisle.
The head coach is a genius at milking talent from his players, routinely turning castoffs and undesirable pieces into quality turning members. He’s done after year, and 2017-18 should be different.
Except it is different. Because while this group might be rebuilding throughout the final couple of seasons of Dirk Nowitzki’s career (assuming the mythical 4 chooses to retire), it finally has distinct talent at quite a few distinct positions.
Dennis Smith Jr., Seth Curry, Wesley Matthews, Harrison Barnes and Nowitzki makes for a strong beginning lineup, and the Mavs will mix and match for Yogi Ferrell and Nerlens Noel on the floor. That is far more talent and upside than the team owned during the 2016-17 effort, and it moved 33-49.
Full seasons from the pieces? Barnes with a year of experience in a role under his belt? Smith added into the rotation for a Rookie of the Year danger?
Vegas place the over/under aggressively with this roster, but motives to believe they are sold a bit short still exist.
