Cleveland Cavaliers vs Dallas Mavericks Betting Preview

The Cleveland Cavaliers (29-4) head to Dallas to face the Mavericks (20-14) on Friday night, with tip-off set for 8:30 PM ET at the American Airlines Center. The Cavaliers come into this matchup riding high, having won eight consecutive games, including a recent victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, 122-110. In contrast, the Mavericks are struggling, having dropped three straight games after losing to the Houston Rockets, 110-99.

Cleveland's success can be attributed, in part, to their extra days off. With three days of rest since their last game, Cavaliers players will be more refreshed compared to the Mavericks, which may bolster their chances of continuing their winning streak. Bettors are favoring the Cavaliers, who are currently set as 6.0-point favorites on the spread, with a moneyline of -245, indicating an implied win probability of 68%. Meanwhile, the Mavericks are listed at +205 on the moneyline, giving them an implied win probability of 32%.

For those interested in player props, Dereck Lively II's Points, Rebounds, and Assists market has gained traction among bettors. The prop total opened at Over 17.5 (-130) before moving to 18.5 (-105), suggesting sharp action on the Over.

As the Cavaliers look to extend their winning streak against a reeling Mavericks squad, this game shapes up to be a compelling battle between a surging team and one hoping to find its footing. Bettors will be keenly watching how both teams perform under these circumstances.
