Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
The Mavericks are still missing Dwight Powell, Anthony Davis and Daniel Gafford, while the Warriors have ruled out Jonathan Kuminga once again. The Mavericks were unconvincing in their narrow win over the slumping Pelicans, but they will be coming into this meeting with some confidence after winning five of their last six. The Warriors have been in similar form, but there is more to like about their recent form given as Butler looks better in every game with his new squad. I think the Warriors get the job done at home, but with the line almost at double digits, I would rather take the Mavericks with the points in this spot.
