The Cavs are seeded fourth in the East, and they will enter the matchup on the back of a 41-26 win-loss record. The Mavs, on the other hand, are seeded 12th in the West with a 22-25 tally. Their last encounter saw the Cavaliers handing a blowout loss to the Mavericks to record their fifth win in the last ten games.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The Cavaliers are heavy 16.5-point favorites with moneyline at -1200 and a total around 236.5 points. These NBA odds today suggest that the Cavaliers are highly-likely to record a dominating win over the Mavericks. We have got our best bet, a same-game parlay, and a few player props for today&rsquo;s Cavs vs Mavs game.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Here&rsquo;s how we are betting for the Cleveland Cavaliers vs Dallas Mavericks on Sunday.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Bet for Cleveland Cavaliers vs Dallas Mavericks&nbsp;<\/h2><p><strong>Best Bet: <\/strong>Cleveland Cavaliers -16.5 (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-114<\/a>)<\/p><p><strong>Book<\/strong>: Best Price at <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>FanDuel<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p><p>Our best bet for Cleveland Cavaliers vs Dallas Mavericks is Cavaliers -16.5 (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-114<\/a>) against the spread.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The Cavaliers boast a 22-12 record at home, and have won five of their last ten games.

The Rocket Arena-based team covers well in such spots.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Keeping their overall edge, as well as homecourt advantage in mind, we are laying the Cleveland Cavaliers -16.5 (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-114<\/a>) as our Best Bet, and expect them to cover the number tonight.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Same-Game Parlay Picks for Cleveland Cavaliers vs Dallas Mavericks&nbsp;<\/h2><p><strong>3-Leg SGP (Safer)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Leg 1: Cleveland Cavaliers -20.5 (alternate spread)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leg 2: Donovan Mitchell Over 27.5 points&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leg 3: James Harden Over 20.5 points&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>Combined odds: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>+794<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>We have built this same-game parlay around the Cavaliers to dominate their homecourt over the Mavericks.
