The Mavericks are now +170 to advance to the second round after entering the series as +230 underdogs. While the line has shifted some, I expected the odds would have been more favorable towards the Mavs. Why?
- News came out that there is optimism regarding a potential Luka return
- The Jazz aren’t a public favorite
- If we’re being honest, the Jazz are a ton of fun to root against
So, why, exactly have the odds not come down?
The Mavericks have made it clear they won't rush Luka back.
