Dallas’ Jason Terry Having Surgery. Odds could be tweaked a little bit on the Dallas Mavericks if they do not have guard Jason Terry in the lineup.Terry actually comes off the bench for the Mavericks but he is a major scoring option for the team. Dallas has been red-hot of late in sportsbook online action so an injury to Terry could be big news.
Sportsbook fans saw how Terry ended up getting hurt in Wednesday’s game against Minnesota as he was hit by Minnesota’s Corey Brewer. And elbow got him in the face and broke his orbital bone. He is scheduled to have surgery to repair it and he could miss some time. Dallas won 112-109 against Minnesota to win their ninth straight but they did not cover the sportsbook betting line. Terry had a team-high 26 points in the win.
Terry won the Sixth Man of the Year award last year in the NBA and he is in the running again this season. He is averaging 17 points, 3.8 assists, 2 rebounds and 1.23 steals per game as sportsbook online stats have it. It is very possible he will miss playing time and that would be unusual for him. He is the only Dallas player to play in all 62 games for Dallas this sportsbook season.
Dallas has become a serious contender in the Western Conference since getting Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood from the Wizards. The Mavericks now have three scoring options that can win games for them vs. sportsbook odds. They have Dirk Nowitzki who normally leads them in scoring and they have Terry and Butler. Three good scoring options are very important, especially in the playoffs when the defense is tougher. Dallas went into Friday night’s game having won nine straight so at lot of things are going right for the Mavericks. They could use to improve against the sportsbook point spread though. They still have a losing record in that regard, especially on their home court when they really struggle to cover the NBA betting odds at the sportsbook.
Sportsbook online has the Mavericks improving to 13th in the league on offense while their defense is 15th in the league. Those sportsbook online numbers continue to improve and Dallas is now a threat to Denver for the second best record in the conference behind the Los Angeles Lakers. Losing Terry for any length of time though would definitely hurt their chances.
