Regarding what stadus mentioned about the odds for 26+ win by the Boston, I think we can compare that now at the line of Clippers and Mavericks.
if Clippers will win 26+ which they are only +1.5 now, bettors will get x60., so, since boston was +2.5. that could be x70 I guess.
Looks like the line favors on the Mavericks, this could signal a return of KP so this is a good boost for the Mavericks, but I am afraid that first game after the injury might make a player less confident, so let's see. Mavericks at -2 now.
Paul george was not going to be in their lineup so can not see them doing it especially with the long awaited comeback of Porzingis to help out Doncic.
