The current betting odds have the Mavericks listed as a 2 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mavericks are 1-2 to start the season but they haven't been bad in any of their games. They looked really good in their 1 win but even in their 2 losses they played very well only losing each game by 2 points. They have also played some of the best teams in the NBA in their first 3 games with a win over the Grizzlies and losses against the Pelicans and the Suns. The Mavericks were a force in the NBA last season and they will continue to be a force this year. They should be even better now too with the trades they made last season as it all comes together now. The Nets have been struggling in their first 3 games though. They are also 1-2 but a much worse 1-2 as they have played some weaker teams and their only win was a 3 point win over the Raptors which they almost lost. The Nets still need a lot more time to figure out what they are going to be this season, they have the potential to be really good but the players are not playing well together right now and that is going to hinder them here against a very good Mavericks team. The Mavericks have kept all of their losses close this season and they will do the same here, but they also have a good chance of winning this game and pulling off the upset here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mavericks to cover the spread in this game.

“I probably should have gotten a better look, but it’s fine. It’s hard with 2 seconds (left) to take a layup ... so that’s why I took the (perimeter) shot.” - Luka Doncic after their loss against the Pelicans on Tuesday.

 

 

“I thought we lost our focus a little bit, especially starting the third. I called an early timeout, but we gave up 45 (points) in the third, and that was it.” - Steve Nash after his team’s loss against the Grizzlies on Monday.
