Washington Wizards vs Dallas Mavericks Preview

Oh dear, the Dallas Mavericks are proving the whipping boys of the NBA this season with only one win to their name in eleven matches. Head coach Rick Carlisle is finding himself under serious pressure to find a tune in a demoralised side and despite being in charge since 2008, this year the 58-year-old is having his toughest time yet. By contrast, the Washington Wizards find themselves where they expect to be. Being fourth in the Eastern conference makes them believe something special could happen this season as their NBA odds take a tumble. The Wizards will face tougher opposition this season but you can only beat what is in front of you, and beat them they surely will.

Washington Wizards vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction

There are no prizes for predicting a Wizards win in this one. Six defeats in a row have left the Mavs bottom of everything and with little hope of things improving anytime soon. Especially with a trip to a Washington side firmly in the frame and up there with the favourites to snaffle the conference title come the end of the regular season. In our best NBA betting previews, the way to go is in the handicap markets as by how much, rather than who will win, is the question on everybody’s lips.

Washington Wizards vs Dallas Mavericks Betting Tips

We have already established in our preview that it would be an almighty shock if there was anything other than a Wizards win but we have found that Ladbrokes offer the latest NBA odds for this game with the most outright value for a Washington win. Although the Boston Celtics are the runaway leaders in the Eastern conference, the Wizards are keeping themselves in the frame and could not have an easier game (sorry Mavs fans) to extend their record to 6-4 this season. Victory over Dallas will also be a timely confidence booster as it will provide back to back wins heading into a congested fixture list as we start to come out of early season and slowly begin to move into mid-season. The title credentials of the Wizards will be tested in this game as being overwhelming favourites adds pressure but they have the players, form, and home advantage to steamroller a struggling Dallas side.

Six defeats in a row have done little to make the Mavericks look like a side about to spring a big surprise and the real question is by how many will Washington win by. Our NBA betting tips go for a handicap win of -10 for the Wizards offered by Betfair who boast a range of NBA markets to get your teeth into. Three of the last five defeats have come by a margin of more than ten points and all three of those results have been on the road. This proves that away days are proving particularly tricky for the Texas side, especially as now they travel to one of the conference’s stronger sides. The Wizards impressively beat the Raptors by eleven points last time out and on home soil look likely to repeat that feat if not even more resolutely. Dallas will have to wait a little longer before attempting to kick-start their season.
