Warriors vs Mavericks prediction
Big game for both teams as the Warriors are fighting for the best possible seed for the play-in tournament while the Mavericks have a shot at a top-4 seed. The Mavs are also at least hoping to stay out of the play-in tournament. The Mavs have the edge as they're at home and didn't have to travel on the end of a back to back. However, the Warriors are playing their best ball with 6 straight wins, and they're as healthy as they've been in quite some time. The Warriors also beat the Mavs a couple of days ago. There's value with free points and the Warriors. I'll take them.
