2024-2025 Dallas Mavericks Odds
After being one of the favorites at the start of the season after their incredible 2024 NBA Finals run, the Mavs have taken a tumble this season, and are in danger of falling out of the playoff race entirely. To make matters worse, Kyrie Irving is out for the season after tearing his left ACL.

The Mavs were considered one of the top teams on January 1, 2025, as they were 20-13 and actively making a case for themselves as an NBA Finals contender. Since then, they have gone 13-24 and endured injury trouble, as well as controversy, after trading Luka Doncic to the Lakers for Anthony Davis. Sadly, that has gone horribly wrong for the Mavs, as Davis has suffered a left adductor injury, which still currently has left him sidelined. Now, with Irving and Davis both out, the Mavericks must pick up the pieces.
2025 Mavericks Team Projections
Irving was supposed to lead the Mavs back to the NBA Finals. Instead, he will sit out the rest of the season and watch as his team hopefully attempts to make it to the playoffs. Getting anyone through a trade is not feasible, as the Mavs owe other teams three first-round picks and seven second-round picks between now and 2030.

Key Contributors on the Mavericks Roster
With Irving and Davis both sidelined, the Mavs must rely on a hobbled P.J. Washington (angle injury) to lead them. While he missed a game earlier this month, it is not believed to be serious. Klay Thompson is the best available player from the lineup and must find his shot, and hit buckets from downtown. The Mavs also have Spencer Dinwiddie at the point and Dante Exum in the backcourt with him. With the big stars sidelined, these players must step up to keep the Mavericks alive.
Where Can I Bet on the Mavericks?
Texas sportsbooks have yet to be legalized, meaning fans who really want to put some money down on the Mavs would have to travel outside of the state to places like Louisiana, Arkansas, or even across the border to Mexico. A bill to legalize sports wagering passed the House in 2023, a first in Texas. The bill quickly stalled in the Senate and cannot be picked up until 2025, when the legislature next meets.

Dallas Mavericks 2025 Schedule: Top Games
The Mavericks can still make the playoffs. But they have some work to do. Below, we will highlight three opponents (and four games) that will be huge down the stretch for the Mavs.
March 21 vs. Detroit Pistons, 10:30 PM ET, NBA League Pass
This game suddenly becomes incredibly important, as the Mavs have lost four consecutive games and gone 1-9 in their past 10 games to fall into a tie with the Phoenix Suns for the final play-in spot. It will be an integral showdown and a big test as the new-look Detroit Pistons visit Dallas to face the Mavericks.
April 4/5 at Los Angeles Clippers, 10:30 PM ET., NBA League Pass
The Mavs will play back-to-back games against the Los Angeles Clippers at Intuit Dome over the final week of the season. It could be a play-in preview, as the Clippers are currently seventh in the Western Conference while leading the Mavericks by a game. These two games will be crucial for the Mavericks as they attempt to not just move up in the standings but avoid falling out of the playoff race.
April 9 vs. Los Angeles Lakers, 7:30 p.m., ESPN
This game will see Luka Doncic return to Dallas for the first time since the Mavericks traded him. It will be a game of many emotions. While the Mavs could not beat him the first time in LA, they must do everything possible to spoil their former superstar's return to the American Airlines Arena. Dallas hopes Anthony Davis is back and ready to battle his old team in a matchup that could have heavy playoff implications.
