Dallas Mavericks NBA Championship Odds
The Mavericks 2-1 series lead hasn’t been on the back of Luka Doncic. While Doncic has of course had an impact, the team has gotten big contributions from Kyrie Irving and, more notably, P.J. Washington. Washington, the team’s mid-season acquisition, has scored 56 points in the past two games while making 12-of-23 threes in addition to 17 rebounds leading to a pair of wins for Dallas.
Now, the No. 5 seed Mavericks are +850 to win it all this season, behind both teams in the other series that would have home court in a potential Western Conference Finals series in the Nuggets and Timberwolves. With that in mind, the team is still as short as it's been all season with the WCF as close as ever.
Dallas is a one-point home favorite in Game 4, a chance to go up 3-1 in the series against the top-seed Thunder. A win on Monday will continue to shrink the team’s odds.
