Vegas Over/Under: 35.5

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