NBA Race To 10 Bets For Feb. 27: Cavs Betting Favorites vs. Mavericks

Race to 10 bets (first team to score 10 points) are a fast and simple way to place bets for those who aren't exactly keen on waiting until the final buzzer sounds for potential gains or losses.

Here's a look at three Race to 10 bets you need to consider for the NBA's slate of games on Tuesday, February 27, 2024:

*Race to 10 records accurate as of Feb. 26

Dallas Mavericks Vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

The Game: Dallas Mavericks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers, 7 p.m. ET

Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers -158

This is the second and final meeting between the Dallas Mavericks and Cleveland Cavaliers in 2023-24, with Cleveland taking the first matchup SU on Dec. 27 while Dallas was the first squad to score 10 points.

Let's flip the script for the rematch, with the Cavaliers winning the Race to 10 while the Mavericks win their eighth game SU in nine attempts.

San Antonio Spurs Vs. Minnesota Timberwolves

The Game: San Antonio Spurs vs. Minnesota Timberwolves, 8 p.m. ET

Pick: San Antonio Spurs +162

Victor Wembanyama and company are 2-2 in the Race to 10 during their ongoing four-game losing streak, which includes 11 losses SU in 12 outings.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are just 1-3 in Race to 10 bets over their last four games, and can be had here. Take the San Antonio Spurs with the upset on the road.

Charlotte Hornets Vs. Milwaukee Bucks

The Game: Charlotte Hornets vs. Milwaukee Bucks

Pick: Bucks -230

The Milwaukee Bucks have thoroughly dissected the Charlotte Hornets twice this season, winning both prior meetings by an average of 33.5 points.

The Race to 10 was split in both encounters, although Milwaukee took that battle in the most recent matchup on Feb. 9. The Bucks are the safer play here, and their Race to 10 record is indicative of that.
