A curious fact about the team coached by Nick Nurse is that it is one of the teams that gives its substitutes the least amount of minutes on the court in the entire NBA. In fact, they rank in last place in contributions from the bench, averaging about 13 minutes. Is this because the team lacks potential?
Well, we must say that their starting line-up is solid, and that they have good multifunctional figures that allow them to get the best out of them in different positions on the field.
The most remarkable recent win was a 139-109 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Scottie Barnes, who was the star of the game, scored 21 points, made eight assists and grabbed seven rebounds. However, that night Pascal Siakam was the leading scorer with 31 points. He is also the team’s highest average scorer so far this season at 26.1 points.
Betting on the Dallas Mavericks
- preseason record: 4-3
- Spread: [Por definir]
- Moneyline: [Por definir]
- Over/Under: [Por definir]
The Mavericks are a very inconsistent team. An example of this was the home game against Oklahoma City Thunder, a game the Mavericks lost 117-111 after the visitors forced an overtime, as the home team wasn’t accurate in the final minutes of the last quarter.
The the team is very dependant on Slovenian Luka Doncic, as he is the top scorer (36.7 points on average per game), the one who grabs the most rebounds (9.5 per game) and the one with the top assists (8.7 on average).
The Slovenian has had a spectacular start to the 2022-23 season, and at his performance against Oklahoma he surpassed the 30-point barrier in each of the first six games of the season, something no one had accomplished since Michael Jordan with the Chicago Bulls in the 1986-87 campaign.
JefeBet Prediction
This season, the Raptors have had a balanced win-loss record as a visitor, while the Mavericks’ record is not that good at home. They are two very evenly matched teams, and there is no clear favorite this time. However, playing at home suits their top player, that’s why at JefeBet we believe that the Dallas Mavericks will win.
Prediction: Dallas Mavericks win by less than 10 points.
