Dallas Mavericks 2025-26 NBA Betting Lines
Few teams could have done a more effective job at burning goodwill with their fans and gamblers than the Dallas Mavericks did last year. The trading of Luka Doncic was considered to be an unforgivable sin for many Dallas fans. However, the Mavericks put together a good summer of work to emerge as one of the 2025 offseason winners. Still, there is much to do to heal last year’s wounds. In one year, the Dallas Mavericks went from being in the NBA Finals to being discredited in their hometown. The Mavericks hoped to build on their tremendous playoff run of 2024. However, at midseason, the Mavericks shocked the sporting world by trading their marquee man and best player. But with the arrival of Cooper Flagg, Dallas has an immediate future to sell and a fresh marquee man.

Off-Season Moves for 2025-26
Key additions: Cooper Flagg, D'Angelo Russell
Key subtractions: Spencer Dinwiddie
At the onset of future market betting action, gamblers expect the Mavs will win as many games this season, when No. 1 overall draft pick Cooper Flagg is in the fold, as they did last season, when they featured Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving for half the year. They traded Doncic for Anthony Davis, and Irving tore an ACL, which could cost him this coming season, too. That series of events sent them spiraling into the lottery, where they lucked into Flagg.
Scoring Flagg is a home run, but how much credit is deserved by the Mavs for a few ping-pong balls bouncing their way? More than fans and gamblers are ripping them for only adding D'Angelo Russell as an Irving replacement. But it really feels like any executive could have pulled off what Dallas did this summer, making an obvious choice at No. 1 and signing a high-usage, low-efficiency one-time All-Star to run the offense.
Indeed, Dallas doesn't get credit for picking Cooper Flagg, a move any team would have made after winning the lottery. The Mavericks did well in landing Russell, armed only with their taxpayer midlevel in free agency after agreeing to a new contract with a smaller starting salary for injured point guard Kyrie Irving. But Dallas still has a surplus in its frontcourt, having opted not to make any trades involving veteran players thus far. That likely pushes Flagg and P.J. Washington to perimeter roles.
Key Players
PF Anthony Davis came to Dallas in the Doncic trade and averaged 20.0 points and 10.1 rebounds per game this past season. Davis is a nine-time NBA All-Star and the New Orleans Hornets' first overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft out of Kentucky.
PG Kyrie Irving is an 8-time NBA All-Star and was on the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers NBA championship team. This past season, Irving averaged 24.7 points per game. The Cleveland Cavaliers selected him first overall in the 2011 NBA Draft out of Duke. Irving may be out of the lineup until January or longer because of a knee injury.
SF Cooper Flagg was the first player taken in the 2025 NBA Draft by Dallas out of Duke, where he was named the National College Player of the Year in 2025. In just one season at Duke, he accumulated countless awards and permanent fame.
Head Coach
Head coach Jason Kidd is a former NBA player who had two stints with the Mavs, including in 2011 when Dallas won the NBA championship. He was a 10-time NBA All-Star. Previously, Kidd coached the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks. His career record is 362-339 in the regular season and 31-33 in the playoffs. Kidd is credited with developing Giannis Antetokounmpo into a superstar while with the Bucks. Kidd took Dallas to the 2024 NBA Finals.

Dallas Mavericks History
The Dallas Mavericks were the third NBA team in the Lone Star State behind the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs. Dallas started play in 1980 and became the first team in American sports to be named after a television show. The Mavericks were awful in their expansion season, going 15-67. Still, they slowly built a contender behind Rolando Blackman, Derek Harper, and Mark Aguirre and nearly made it to the NBA Finals in 1988 after five straight postseason appearances. Dallas fell in seven games to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, and that was the furthest the Mavs advanced in the playoffs until franchise legend Dirk Nowitzki came to the Big D.
Dallas went a full decade without making the playoffs, but the Mavericks ended up contending with Nowitzki, Michael Finley, and Steve Nash. Of course, Nash soon went on to be a two-time NBA MVP with the Phoenix Suns, preventing Dallas from becoming a dynasty. However, Nowitzki led the franchise to its first NBA Finals appearance in 2006, where the Mavericks lost in six games to the Miami Heat.
Nowitzki and the Mavericks got revenge on the Heat five years later, winning their first NBA title. Veteran guards Jason Terry and Jason Kidd took some of the pressure off Nowitzki, while Tyson Chandler was strong in defense. That led to Dallas dropping just five games on its way to its lone championship.
