Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks betting tips
Klay Thompson has an over/under of 21.5 points for the game. He had 21 or more points in each of the past three games. With Curry still out, Thompson should bear the offensive load for Golden State and score over 21.5 points.
Luka Doncic has an over/under of 33.5 points for the game. Doncic leads the NBA in scoring for the season with 34.6 points. While Doncic is usually a good bet to go over his props, expect the Warriors to throw their best defenders at him. Thus, he could end the night with under 33.5 points.
Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks prediction
The Mavericks are favored to win at home and rightly so. Golden State is without its primary offensive weapon in Steph Curry and that is a big factor behind Dallas’ odds to win. The home team should cover the spread for a win. It should be a high-scoring game with the team total going over 235.5 points.
