The Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Dallas Mavericks at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Sunday, February 2, 2025. This will be the second meeting of the season between these teams but this time around the Mavericks will approach with a completely different roster. The Mavs traded their franchise player, Luka Doncic just hours before this game. A move that will surely have a massive impact on how this match plays out.

– Moneyline: Mavericks (+385) vs Cavaliers (-500)
– Spread: Mavericks (+10.5) vs Cavaliers (-10.5)
– Total (O/U): Mavericks -110 (O 238) vs Cavaliers -110 (U 238)
(Note: Odds are correct at the time of writing and likely to change.)
– Kyrie Irving is propped to score 26.5 points tonight. While the bookmakers project him to score 23.2 points, we believe that Irving should be in for a 25+ point night. The news of Doncic’s trade gives Kyrie all the motivation he needs to go out and dominate a game.
– Jarrett Allen is projected to miss his prop of 24.5 points + rebounds tonight. However, the Mavericks will not have a lot of paint presence tonight since Anthony Davis is out with an abdominal injury. So, it wouldn’t be surprising if Allen ended up grabbing more than 24.5 points + rebounds tonight.
The Dallas Mavericks will look to send out a statement during their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight. The team’s trade with the Lakers has made them the subject of ridicule around the league. It wouldn’t be surprising if Doncic’s move away from the Mavs motivates Kyrie Irving to step up and establish himself as a team leader. Look forward to what should be a big night from Kyrie Irving.
The Cavaliers have been one of the best teams in the league this season and will undoubtedly cause problems for the Mavericks tonight. Kyrie Irving might be set for a big game, but the Cavaliers still look like the favorites to win this matchup.
Our prediction: The Cavaliers will win
