Who's rooting for the Dallas Mavericks in America? Here's what one map shows

Since there's only two teams left in the playoffs, you kind of have to pick a side. So, let's see which side America is picking.

DALLAS — In addition to airing every game of the 2024 NBA Finals on our station, WFAA is also hosting a special presentation called "The Pregame" before each and every matchup in the series. Head here for more information.

As we approach the NBA Finals, America is picking which side of the fence they want to be on throughout the seven-game series -- and Mavs fandom appears to spread far and wide. 

According to a BetOnline Map, which was created by researching geotagged locations paired with fan hashtags, there's a near-even split between who wants to see the Mavs win and who wants to see the Celtics win. 

So, with 29 states, or 58%, of America on their side, can the Mavs pull it off and win their first NBA Championship since 2011? 

We sure hope so!

Game 1 of the Mavs-Celtics matchup tips off at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday night, so be sure to tune into WFAA as all games will be aired on ABC, the exclusive broadcasting network of the NBA Finals.
