Vegas Over/Under: 35.5

Fromal’s Record Projection: 36-46 The Bet: Prevent lean over
To be very frank, I would recommend leaning no matter in which the line is set for the Dallas Mavericks. And that’s for one simple reason: Rick Carlisle.
The head coach is a genius in milking talent from the players, routinely turning castoffs and undesirable pieces into quality turning members. He’s done so year after year, and 2017-18 ought to be different.
Except it is different. Because while this team may be rebuilding throughout the final few seasons of Dirk Nowitzki’s career (assuming the mythical 4 chooses to retire), it finally has different talent at quite a few distinct positions.
Dennis Smith Jr., Seth Curry, Wesley Matthews, Harrison Barnes and Nowitzki makes for a potent starting lineup, along with the Mavs can mix and match to get Yogi Ferrell and Nerlens Noel on the floor. That’s far more talent and upside down than the group owned during the 2016-17 effort, and it moved 33-49.
Seasons from the frontcourt bits? Barnes with a year of experience in a role under his belt? Smith added into the rotation?
Vegas set the over/under aggressively for this roster, but reasons to believe they’re sold somewhat brief still exist.
