Mavericks Odds: What the current odds say about the Dallas Mavericks’ ability to win the series

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.
