Cleveland Cavaliers (1-2) vs. Dallas Mavericks (1-1) NBA Predictions: The Cleveland Cavaliers travel to Big D, to take on the Dallas Mavericks Monday night, beginning at 8:30 PM ET (5:30 PM PT) on NBAtv. Oddsmakers at HeroesCasino.com have posted the following NBA Online Sports Betting Odds for this Cleveland Cavaliers [+3] vs. Dallas Mavericks [-3] NBA Predictions.

Last season, with LeBron James leading the league in scoring (30 ppg), and with a solid Cavaliers’ defense, Cleveland won 45 games.

However this season, LeBron has yet to get into a groove offensively, and thus, his team has suffered. Perhaps losing that game of H-O-R-S-E to a nobody during the offseason has had sort of a Homerun Derby effect on LeBron’s stroke.

During the offseason, the Cavs attempted to strengthen their anemic offensive-attack by trading for Milwaukee Bucks point guard Mo Williams. Williams averaged 17.2 points last season with Milwaukee, and was brought in as another shooter and potential distributor to feed James. However, after 3 games, Williams is averaging just 13.3 points, and the Cavaliers are only scoring 91.0 points per game as a team.

On Saturday, Cleveland lost 104-92 to the New Orleans Hornets. In that game, James went just 6-of-15 for a total of 15 points. "I never really got into a comfortable zone all night tonight, we still were in the game going into the fourth quarter. But late in the game, I never got into it.'' This season, James is yet to hit a single 3-pointer in 9 attempts. The OVER/UNDER for this Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Dallas Mavericks NBA Predictions has been set at a combined total of 192.5 points.

For the Mavs, after dropping the opener against the new-look Houston Rockets, they defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves last Saturday. In that game, Dirk Nowitzki, Josh Howard and Jason Terry combined for 54 points as they chalked up their first “W”. “We know in basketball you can't win games with one or two guys, teams are too good now in this league,” said Nowitzki (28.5 ppg). "You have to have everyone playing at a high level.”
