Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Bucks against the Mavericks:
“Kyrie Irving being out and the drama surrounding this team makes them a pass for me unless they show some life. Dallas will be a good fade if they are up early in games over the next few weeks, so this is a live betting situation for me.”
