Whether the Dallas Mavericks' bold move to acquire Kyrie Irving will pay off in a deep playoff run will be one of the more intriguing storylines down the stretch of the NBA season, but the blockbuster deal made an immediate impact on oddsmakers.
The Mavericks are 28-26 and sitting in the bubble of the play-in tournament while star Luka Doncic deals with a heel injury. However, shortly after news of the reported Irving trade broke on Sunday, their NBA title odds were slashed in half by DraftKings.
A +3000 longshot to win the NBA title to begin Sunday, Dallas now has the eighth-shortest odds at +1500. The Mavericks are also eighth at BetMGM, where they have even shorter title odds at +1200.
