Mavericks at Warriors picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 118, Mavericks 113
Moneyline
PASS.
This matchup features 2 of the Western Conference’s best, with the Warriors (-150) gaining momentum after a strong road trip. I’ll be taking them on the spread.
Against the spread
BET WARRIORS -2.5 (-110).
Mavericks G Klay Thompson’s return to Golden State adds extra intensity to this matchup.
The Warriors have covered the spread in 8 of 10 games and are 7-1 against Dallas with equal rest. Dallas may have won 3 of 4 last season, but Golden State has improved over the summer and the last 9 meetings have all ended within a 10-point margin, which makes this a close call. Both teams will bring their best, but Golden State’s form could give it the edge.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 234.5 (-115).
Despite the offensive talent on both sides, this matchup may not be the high-scoring affair many expect.
Golden State has averaged only 110.7 points at home, ranking 9th in the league. Dallas has also struggled with consistency, scoring 114.0 points per game, which is tied for 16th.
The Warriors have hit the Over in 70% of their games this season, but are just 1-2 O/U at home. Dallas sits at 4-6 to the Over, with a 1-5 record on 1 day of rest.
