6. Dallas Mavericks – 51.5
Prediction: Over
After years of short success during the offseason, the Mavericks finally struck gold, acquiring long lost center Tyson Chandler in a trade with the New York Knicks, and later signing restricted free agent Chandler Parsons to a three year, $46 million contract.
That still doesn’t necessarily mean Dallas won’t have their fair share of issues.
The team’s overall chemistry is bound to be wacky in the first few months, especially in the backcourt, since Raymond Felton, Jameer Nelson and Devin Harris are all still battling it out for the starting point guard position.
Once this club’s starting unit begins to gel more smoothly though, there’s no doubt they have the potential to produce one of the most lethal offenses in the league.
