Warriors vs Mavericks: Prediction| Odds| 2022 NBA| Picks
The point spread is up against the Golden State Warriors, but so far the points are in their favor. Sitting at 78-70, they look like the better team out there today, but there is one more quarter to go. The Warriors are led by point guard Stephen Curry, who has so far shot 5-for-10 from downtown and recorded 27 points, nine assists and four boards. One thing to keep an eye on is Draymond Green’s poor position as he currently sits at four.

Picks
The Warriors should end the series at home, but Golden State (-300) is too expensive for an outright bet.
The bottom line is that what the Mavericks did to reach the Western Conference Finals isn’t working against the Warriors. Dallas went into the smaller versus its first 2 playoff opponents and exposed their opponent’s slow frontcourt defense.
In this series, when the Maw gets smaller, the Warriors just crush them in the paint. If defenses are giving Golden State pent points, the backcourt naturally leaves shooters behind, which is the worst thing to do against Warriors PG Stephen Curry and SG Klay Thompson.
