The Dallas Mavericks were seventh in the Western Conference with a record of 40-27 when the 2019-20 NBA season was suspended. Below, we look at the BetMGM betting odds of the Mavericks winning the NBA Championship once play resumes with a 22-team format in Orlando, Fla., later this summer.
Dallas Mavericks season recap
Dallas has one of the bright, young stars in the league in PG Luka Doncic, who was averaging 28.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game before the season was suspended. He is joined by C Kristaps Porzingas, averaging 19.2 points and 9.5 rebounds per contest.
The Mavs were better on the road (21-12) than at home (19-15), but they dominated their division, going 10-3 against Southwest Division rivals.
Dallas was also one of the best teams in the league against the spread. The Mavericks are tied for the seventh-best ATS record in the NBA at 35-29-3. Meanwhile, their 40-27 Over/Under mark is tied for the third-best Over record this season.

Dallas Mavericks NBA Championship odds
Odds provided by BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday, June 16 at 3:20 a.m. ET.
Dallas is a long shot to win the NBA title at +3000. The Mavericks are solid and would do well against any team in the Eastern Conference. The problem is their road to the NBA Finals is just too hard. Betting against anyone other than the Los Angeles Lakers (+250) or Los Angeles Clippers (+325) in the West – barring an injury to a key player – seems like a waste.
Should you bet on the Mavs to win the title? NO.
Dallas Mavericks Western Conference odds
To win the Western Conference, the Mavs are also a long shot at +1800 behind five other teams. As mentioned previously, the issue with the Mavs isn’t their NBA Finals odds, it’s the fact they have to come out of the West. Betting on the Mavs to win the West is no better than betting on them to win the NBA title. AVOID betting on Dallas here, too.
