Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
This line tells me the Warriors will be without Curry, who was questionable with cervical facet inflammation at the time of this writing. If that’s the case, I have to roll with the Mavericks. The Mavs gave the Warriors a fight last month and are playing their best ball of the season right now and are as healthy as they’ve been. The Mavs have won 8 of their last 10 games and have covered 7 of those games as well. The Mavericks have 8 road wins already, so they’re built for a spot like this. Assuming Curry won’t suit up, I’ll lay the bucket with the Mavericks.
