Dallas Mavericks

Vegas Over/Under: 35.5

Fromal’s Record Projection: 36-46 The Bet: Avoid lean over
To be quite frank, I’d recommend leaning over no matter where the line is put for the Dallas Mavericks. And that is for one simple reason: Rick Carlisle.
The head coach is a genius in milking talent out of the players, regularly turning castoffs and undesirable bits into quality rotation members. He’s done after year, and 2017-18 should be no different.
Except it is different. Because while this group may be rebuilding throughout the final few seasons of Dirk Nowitzki’s livelihood (assuming the legendary 4 chooses to retire), it eventually 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, along with the Mavs will mix and match to get Yogi Ferrell and Nerlens Noel on the floor. That is much more talent and upside down than the group owned during the 2016-17 effort, and it moved 33-49.
Seasons from the bits that are frontcourt? Barnes with a year of experience in a major role under his belt? Smith added as a Rookie of the Year threat into the rotation?
Vegas set the over/under aggressively with this roster, but reasons to believe they are sold a bit short still exist.
