Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks prediction

This feels like a lot of points, and the Mavs have the habit of falling apart defensively and giving games away. With that said, the Mavs have put together a nice 3 game winning streak and can blow teams off the floor when the confidence is rolling. The Golden State Warriors are still down Curry, and did recently lose at home to the Spurs and Bulls. If the Mavs are dialed in on the defensive end, this game could get ugly. The Mavs did beat the Warriors by 10 points while scoring 132 points back in December. I'll lay the points with the Mavs at home.
