The Dallas Mavericks went from a middle-of-the-pack team with a single star to a potential powerhouse. After the trade with the Brooklyn Nets to bring Kyrie Irving to Dallas, there is no doubt that the Mavericks have become a team to look out for in the hardened Western Conference. A duo of Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic would do wonders. However, fans must still be convinced that the team has enough to win a championship.

According to a report by Shams Charania, the Dallas Mavericks have moved from +1900 to +1400 to win the NBA championship. These odds were provided by the official Twitter page of ‘FanDuel Sportsbook.’
