- Any believers in the Dallas Mavericks should bet their +500 NBA Finals odds ahead of Game 3 at home.
- The Mavericks are 2.5-point favorites against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.
- Kyrie Irving has -121 odds to score over 23.5 points in Game 3.
DALLAS – The Dallas Mavericks are 2.5-point favorites against the Boston Celtics for Game 3 as the series heads to Dallas. Despite being two games away from elimination, now’s the time to strike on the Mavericks’ +500 legal sports betting odds to win the NBA Finals.
NBA Finals Series Odds
- Boston Celtics -725
- Dallas Mavericks +500
The first two games in Boston weren’t encouraging, but there just isn’t any value in betting the -725 odds for the Celtics to win the series. Dallas desperately needs a win Wednesday night to avoid going down 3-0, and NBA betting sites expects them to do so with -140 moneyline odds.
If Dallas wins as expected, their odds will likely cut in half ahead of another home game for Game 4. Despite not clearing 100 points in the series so far, there are -125 odds favoring the Mavericks team total points projection of 107.5 points to go over in Game 3.
NBA Finals Game 3 Odds
Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Boston Celtics | +2.5 (-110) | +120 | O214.0 (-105) |
Dallas Mavericks | -2.5 (-110) | -140 | U214.0 (-115) |
Betting Odds Expect Kyrie + Dallas To End Dry Spell In Game 3
Star guard Luka Doncic made it clear that Dallas has played solid defense but they just haven’t been making their shots. This proved to be true in Game 2 when they held the Celtics to 25.6% from three-point range, only for Dallas to be less efficient at 23.1% from three.
They’ll need Kyrie Irving to step up in Game 3 to have a chance in this series, and Texas sports betting sites favor Kyrie to go over his 23.5-point projection with -121 odds. Irving averages 27.0 points per game at home this season while averaging a lesser 24.2 points per game on the road.
