💰 Mavericks win total prediction

Here's why our NBA expert Corey Scott expects the Mavericks to finish Under 41.5 wins as one of his NBA win total predictions for the 2025-26 season:

⬇️ Under 41.5 wins

The Mavericks’ record this season will largely depend on whether Cooper Flagg can immediately emerge as a star in this league. Kyrie Irving has no timetable for returning from a knee injury; Anthony Davis has played 51 games or fewer in three of the past five seasons; and Klay Thompson has been trending downward over the last two years. I’m betting Flagg won’t be productive enough as a rookie to help Dallas win more than half its games.

✅ Prediction: Under 41.5 wins (-115 via BetMGM)


🔮 Best Mavericks futures bet

Here's why our NBA expert Liam Fox is betting on Cooper Flagg to record a triple-double as one of his best NBA futures bets for the 2025-26 season:

⛹️‍♂️ Cooper Flagg to record a triple-double

Cooper Flagg, the No. 1 pick in June and clear favorite by the preseason NBA Rookie of the Year odds, is already an all-around player. The newest Mavericks star only needs to record one triple-double as a rookie to cash this for us, and these odds suggest only a 54.55% chance that happens this season - that feels too low.

✅ Best bet: Cooper Flagg to record a triple-double (-120 via BetMGM)
