Mavericks Odds: What’s hitting and what’s not

The NBA season has just eclipsed the one-third mark. The trends have begun to form. Data is starting to support the betting side of the games.

Luka Doncic leads the league in first quarter scoring (11.5 points per first period) by 1.9 points. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is second at 9.6. Don cic attempts eight shots with three free throws on almost 62 percent true shooting.

Dallas is currently 8-18-2 against the spread this season. They have failed to cover all but one time (12/3 vs Knicks).

Dallas Mavericks have hit over the points total in 17 of their 28 games this season. If the Mavericks are playing someone outside of the top 10 in defensive rating, the point total over is almost a lock.

Reggie Bullock has struggled early in the season. He has gone over 9.5 points only 11-of-27 times this season, and he has been benched more than once.

Spencer Dinwiddie is averaging 5.3 assists per game this season. He had 10 assists against the Thunder and seven against Cavaliers yesterday.
