The Golden State Warriors (27-26) will face the Dallas Mavericks (28-26) on February 12, 2025, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. The Warriors have been performing well on their current road trip, securing victories against the Chicago Bulls (132-111) and the Milwaukee Bucks (125-111), with Stephen Curry leading the charge, scoring 34 and 38 points in those games.
The Mavericks are coming off a tough 129-128 overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings, with Kyrie Irving contributing 30 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists. However, Dallas is dealing with significant injury challenges, including key players like Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford, and P.J. Washington being sidelined. This puts them at a disadvantage against the Warriors, who are favored due to their recent form and depth, especially with Jimmy Butler’s addition to the roster.
Draymond Green Over 5.5 Assists
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has been a pivotal playmaker during the 2024-25 NBA season. Over 38 games, he is averaging 8.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game.
We've seen a significant drop off when it comes to Draymond Green's scoring but he is still a solid weapon when you look at other metrics. He's cleared this assist line in three of his last five games since returning back from injury. He also has a new weapon to pass the ball to in Jimmy Butler. The Mavericks are giving up 26.7 assists per game to opposing teams which is well above the league average.
Kyrie Irving Over 27.5 Points
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving has been a significant offensive contributor during this NBA season. Over 49 games, he is averaging 24.2 points per game, ranking him 16th in the league. His shooting efficiency includes a field goal percentage of 47.4%. Irving's consistent scoring has been instrumental in the Mavericks' offensive strategies this season, providing both scoring and stability in the backcourt.
Kyrie Irving is coming off a monstrous game where he scored 30 points against the Sacramento Kings. This Mavericks team is dealing with injuries to both Anthony Davis and PJ Washington which are two of the main scores for this Mavericks team. Without those two in the lineup, Kyrie Irving will be forced to put up more shots than usual. If the Mavericks want to keep up in this game Kyrie will have to score at least 30 points in my opinion.
Steph Curry Over 4.5 Rebounds
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has been a consistent contributor to his team's rebounding efforts during the 2024-25 NBA season. Over 44 games, he is averaging 4.5 rebounds per game. To add to his rebounding he has scored 30+ points in 4 games straight.
Steph Curry has cleared this line of 4.5 rebounds in his last three games And this should be another good spot for him to have another successful night on the boards. the Mavericks are giving up 52.8 rebounds per game to opposing teams which is well above the league average. the Mavericks will also be without big man Anthony Davis and other players on this roster that contribute to this team size. expect another good night on the glass for Steph Curry.
