Have a real hard time with the Mavs number, but there are more factors leaning under (college coach, young team, injury concerns Kyrie/Lively).
Strong on Blazers and Suns UNDER, who I feel were the main beneficiaries from the Tankathon. Jazz OVER, who were throwing games left and right. The Warriors are DUST. If they want to make the play-offs they really need a Jimmy Butler trade now. They are way too old and injury-prone for a 82 games grind and lacking depth.
Vegas books have it at 34.5 on which I strongly take the over.
If someone wants to bet on
1. Cooper not improving
2. Kyrie and Lively not playing.
3. Dusty crashing out.
4. No further positive transactions
then fine. But this team struggled to tank last season. If they had actually played to win they would have been closer to 34 than 26.
I think it’s much more likely this team surprises than underperforms.
