2024 NBA Preseason Picks & Predictions: Bucks vs. Mavericks

Check out our top NBA preseason picks and predictions for Thursday’s game.

Bucks vs. Mavericks

Dallas is nothing without Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. The Mavericks tried to sneak in a game against the Clippers without Irving and Doncic and lost 110-96. The Mavericks shot 41.7%, allowing the Clippers to hit more than 50% of shots. Dallas is now 0-2 in preseason and still listing Doncic and Irving as game-time decisions. But it's more unlikely those two play. On the other hand, the Bucks are very weak on the bench. In the most recent game against the Bulls, Milwaukee had just Bobby Portis score in double figures. A.J. Johnson saw 21 minutes and went 2-for-15 from the field. That's not going to cut it. I'll take the Under 217.5 (-110).

Pick: Under 217.5 (-110)
