Online sportbooks will take notice of the Dallas Mavericks early in the season as they will be without big man Josh Howard. The Mavericks are not sure when he will return. There is no question though that he makes an impact on Internet sportsbook results for Dallas.
Online sportbooks indicate that Howard had surgery on his left ankle and wrist back in May but hasn’t completed a full practice yet. He will not dress for Tuesday’s online sportbooks opener against Washington. Internet sportsbook info has Howard experience some soreness in his wrist and his ankle is nowhere near being ready. Dallas does not want to rush Howard back early so they are taking it slow. “It could be a while,” coach Rick Carlisle said. “It could be weeks. I don’t know. I don’t know. We’ll find a way without him, but we know we’re better with him. When he comes back, we’ll have to be ready to integrate him very quickly.”
Just how much of a difference does Howard make in terms of online sportbooks results for Dallas? The Mavericks were 33-19 last online sportbooks season when Howard played. They were only 17-13 in the Internet sportsbook games he missed last season.
Dallas does have a player that can pick up the slack in online sportbooks numbers while Howard is out in Shawn Marion. He was picked up in a trade with Toronto and a lot is expected out of him this online sportbooks season. “He’s a guy that our guys have great respect for because they’ve been through the wars with him as an opponent,” coach Rick Carlisle said to online sportbooks fans. “When you hear our guys talk about guys that have been difficult to play against, and were difference-makers in the West, Shawn’s one of the guys they talk about.”
Dallas does have a lot of talent that can impact NBA betting odds at online sportbooks. They have Dirk Nowitzki who still does it all and impacts online sportbooks odds. They have Drew Gooden who can score and rebound as stats show. They have Jason Kidd who still dishes out assists and makes an impact on Internet sportsbook sites. They have a great player off the bench in Jason Terry and they have Howard when he is healthy. Overall, the Mavericks are still a team to watch at online sportbooks.
