Warriors vs Mavericks Prediction
The current betting odds have the Warriors listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Warriors haven't looked great in their games this season with their 27-26 record overall which has them in the bottom half of the West, but that record still has them fighting for a playoff spot. They are in the last spot in the West for the play-in tournament, but they haven't been a great road team this year with their 12-13 road record. Meanwhile, the Mavericks haven't looked great in their games this season either with their 28-26 record overall which has them in the bottom half of the West and also fighting for a spot in the play-in tournament. They have looked decent on their home court with their 15-11 home record, but they have completely collapsed since trading away their franchise player Luka Doncic. They are 5-5 in their last 10 games and coming off a home loss to the Kings in their last one. They also lost Anthony Davis to another injury so he will not be playing in this game. The Warriors have been really up and down this season, but they have started to look better lately as they are 6-4 in their last 10 games. They are coming off a big road win over the Bucks by double digits in their last one and they have been playing better with Jimmy Butler joining the lineup. The Warriors have looked a lot better since trading for Butler, winning 2 games in a row now with some momentum on their side, and this is the point in the season where they will start buckling down and make a push to secure their playoff spot. The Warriors made themselves better with the trade deadline while the Mavericks made themselves worse, and the Warriors can take advantage of the Mavs in this bad situation. The best way to place a bet here is on the Warriors to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“I’m most impressed with his passing. His passing changes everything. The skill, the strength, the ability to get to the free throw line. And in the end, it goes beyond that. Just his presence out there.” - Steve Kerr on Jimmy Butler after his team’s win against the Bucks in their game on Monday.
“People are going to say stuff. That’s understandable. I was a fan. Still a fan. If I didn’t agree with a trade, I would probably voice my opinion, too.” - Klay Thompson on the fans being upset with the team.
