2024 TAPPS baseball playoff schedule and matchups for Dallas-area teams
The top-seeded Dallas Stars face long odds ahead of Game 3 Saturday night in Las Vegas. The defending Stanley Cup champions Vegas Golden Knights hold a commanding 2-0 lead in the opening round series of the Western Conferece Playoffs.
NHL playoff teams with a 2-0 series lead “go on to win the series 86.4% of the time,” Vegas play-by-play announcer Dan D’Uva said post game following the Golden Knights Game 2 road win. The Stars had not lost back-to-back games in regulation all season until this year’s playoffs.

Boston, Colorado, Vancouver and Edmonton all took a 2-1 series lead after those series were tied 1-1. The Game 3 winner goes on to win the playoff series 65.9% of the time (234-120) in NHL history when the series was tied 1-1, according to NHL Public Relations.
You can follow my sharp Canadien colleague Brian Steinberg (Sherwood) and his extensive knowledge and understanding of the betting markets at Sportswagers.ca. He provides NHL series selections, value-added insight and game-by-game picks throughout the playoffs. That includes key insight in Game 3 between the Golden Knights and Stars, where Sherwood has been riding Vegas in all three games of the series.
“The Stars’ heads have to be spinning after dropping the first two games of this series at home,” Sherwood notes. “The Fortress is never an easy place to play, and with the Knights up 2-0, that rink is going to be rocking.”
I’ll be at Game 3 to see it live, and “the Golden Knights cannot be a coin flip (-110) in this spot. They’ve beaten the Stars six times in a row, and ended their season last spring and they’ve not let Dallas breathe in this series,” Sherwood says. “If the Golden Knights let up here and the Stars are able to steal a game, so be it, but a coin flip this is not.”
Sherwood and sharp bettors see value on the Golden Knights in Game 3.
Vegas took a 3-0 series lead over Dallas in last year’s Western Conference Finals before losing the series 4-2.
Last year, Sherwood bet and picked the huge upset by the Florida Panthers over the Boston Bruins in the opening round of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs., and he’s been providing adjusted NHL series bets and recommendations during this year’s 2024 playoffs.
Additional stats and performances of notes favoring Vegas:
MoneyPuck now rates Vegas’ chances of advancing to Round 2 at 77.7%, and Round 3 at 40.2%. Other Western Conference contenders chances of advancing to Round 2 holding 2-1 series leads include Colorado (73.7%), Vancouver (77.3%) and Edmonton (79.2%) with those teams chances to advance to the Western Conference Finals similar to the Golden Knights from 37% to 44%.
The opening weekend of the National Hockey League’s (NHL) 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs delivered an average audience of 2.62 million viewers across North America, up 11 per cent year-on-year (YoY).
The interest and engagement in NHL playoff hockey with spectacular saves and players strengths to skate, shoot and score continues to drive more watch and wager action and fan interest.
You can bet on it.
The Mavericks are looking to even their second-round series with Oklahoma City. After a disappointing second half in game one, the Mavericks are searching for offense. They have not been able to get Kyrie Irving going in the first half for the entirety of the playoffs, and tonight would be a perfect opportunity to start. If Dallas wants to take back home court, they are going to need to get Irving going early and get more out of Luka Doncic
Fixture: Dallas Mavericks at Oklahoma City Thunder | NBA 2023-2024
Date and Time: Thursday, May 9th, 2024; 8:30 PM CST
Venue: Paycom Center, Oklahoma City, OK.
Odds up to date as of 12:30 PM CST from DraftKings
The Mavericks are not going to get blown out again. They have been good all year at bouncing back and adjusting. Take Dallas +5.
Irving made three in just four attempts in game one. He has a great matchup this series and his volume should increase in game 2. Washington had his minutes limited by blowout and foul trouble. He had 10 points and six rebounds in 26 minutes, so if he plays his normal 34 then he should soar over this line.
+750
This is the biggest game of Dallas’ season and I expect them to step up to the plate. Irving will need a big game and the Mavericks’ offense needs to show up. Dereck Lively should play more minutes so expect him to make an impact that is similar to Daniel Gafford.
The Mavericks have to win or their season might be over. They have two of the best “big moment” players in the league in their backcourt and they will tie this series.
