2022-23 Dallas Mavericks Predictions and Futures Odds Picks

Dallas Mavericks made the Western Conference Finals last season for the first time since they won the championship in 2011. Luka Doncic is expected to be the MVP this season.

The Mavericks had an effective offseason, making the signings they needed to remain among the top of the Western Conference. Christian Wood was acquired from the Rockets in exchange for their first-round pick and a few benchwarmers. JaVale McGee was signed from Phoenix Suns. Jalen Brunson left the Mavericks for the Knicks.

Dallas Mavericks are aiming to improve on their 52-win season last year. They lost Brunson in exchange for Wood and McGee. The team needs to have a clear 'Big Two' or ' Big Three' on the team to be successful. Dallas has an MVP candidate in Luka Doncic.

The Dallas Mavericks have a unique schedule this season. After visiting Phoenix on opening night, 11 of their next 15 games are at home. The team has some nasty road trips later in the season, including 5 games in 8 nights in January and 10 road games to finish off the final 16 games.

The Dallas Mavericks are expected to make the playoffs as a mid-seed team. They are +1000 to be the No. 1 western conference seed, +125 to win the division, and -550 to get to the championship. Doncic is unlikely to lead the team consistently, but he has the ability to put the whole team on their backs.

Dallas Mavericks are expected to finish with a 45-37 record. They have a good team with the MVP-caliber player in Luka Doncic. However, they have weak depth and a shallow bench. They will be in the play-in tournament and win a round in NBA playoffs.
