The significance of Vegas' NBA over-under win totals as they concern the Dallas Mavericks

The good news, Mavericks fans, is that Vegas loves you. The bad news? Well, the Atlanta Hawks appear to be getting a pretty good pick next summer.

Understanding that the sportsbooks in Las Vegas (soon to be the sportsbooks near you?) set these lines for one reason, and that is to generate bets on both sides of the win total, you could dismiss the significance of these numbers. I choose not to do that.

I think most of them make a lot of sense, given they represent fans' expectations. And at the Westgate Vegas Superbook this week, the Mavericks' over-under win total was set at 34.
