The Dallas Mavericks took a significant step last night towards their goal of making the NBA Play-In game. At the moment, they’re still on the outside looking in, currently sitting at 11th place in the wild Western Conference.
The win over the Kings on Wednesday night changed the odds for Dallas to make the Play-In, moving them to +130. Prior to the game on Wednesday, odds looked much bleaker for the Mavericks, and if you’re the kind of bettor who got in with the more profitable odds, then you’re smarter than I am. Dallas beating the Kings seemed like a longshot, even though the Mavericks were a 6-point favorite heading into the contest.
