Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks Match Preview

Warriors: Jimmy Butler has reinvigorated the squad

The Golden State Warriors will enter the battle after a 132-108 win against the Sacramento Kings as Buddy Hield put up 22 points. They have won 4-1 since acquiring Jimmy Butler showing remarkable improvements on both ends. During the five-game window, they have conceded just 107.8 points per game(8th) while scoring 120.2 PPG(8th). The Warriors had one of the toughest schedules before the All-Star break but they can relish some easy match-ups for the rest of the season.

Expected Starting Lineup

PG: Stephen Curry | SG: Brandin Podziemski | SG: Moses Moody | SF: Jimmy Butler | PF/C: Draymond Green

Injuries: Jonathan Kuminga is OUT.

Mavericks: Doing well despite the turmoil

The Mavericks enter the affair after an impressive 111-103 win against the New Orleans Pelicans as Kyrie Irving poured in 35 points. They are on a three-game winning streak and have won five out of their last six games. They have scored 118.5 PPG in that period, with a league-best 41.1% shooting clip from deep. They have been tremendous on the defensive end, limiting opponents to just 10.2 three-pointers made(2nd) in the six-game window. These are remarkable numbers after the departure of their franchise face Luka Doncic and the injury to their new superstar Anthony Davis.

Expected Starting Lineup

PG: Dante Exum | PG: Kyrie Irving | SG/SF: Klay Thompson | SF/PF: Kessler Edwards | PF/C: P.J. Washington

Injuries: Dwight Powell, Caleb Martin, Anthony Davis, Derek Lively II, and Daniel Gafford are OUT.

Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks Total Over/Under Prediction

The Warriors have scored 120+ points in three of the last five games, as Jimmy Butler has bolstered them emphatically on that end while Stephen Curry is playing at his peak. Meanwhile, the Mavericks have scored 116 or more points in five of the last seven games. However, the Warriors’ defense has been marginally better in that period, conceding 111 or fewer points in five straight games. At any rate, both teams will likely go past the 110-point mark here but remain below 120.

Golden State Warriors Player Props Predictions- Projected Top Bets & Odds

Stephen Curry to score over 26 points: Curry tallied a season-high 31 PPG in February, and scored 25 points in the four-point loss against Mavericks just before the All-Star break. He will likely be closer to the 30-point mark this time around.

Buddy Hield to be held under 14 points: Hield has scored 14 or more points in five of the last seven games. However, he scored just 3 points in the recent loss against the Mavericks. He will likely be held below 11 here.

Dallas Mavericks Player Props Predictions – Projected Top Bets & Odds

Kyrie Irving to go past 30 points: Irving has scored 27.6 PPG in February and put in 42 during his squad’s last win against Curry and Co. I fancy him to replicate such heroics again.

Klay Thompson to nail at least 4 triples: Thompson has made 3 triples per game in February but has nailed 4-5 deep-range shots in three straight games. I believe he will go past that mark again.

Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks Match Prediction

The Mavericks won by 4 points during their last tussle against the Warriors. However, I doubt the Dubs would lose in such a fashion on their home floor. They are a revamped squad since the inclusion of Butler but at the same time know that the Mavs have exceeded expectations despite playing without AD and the injuries to their all Centers. I believe the injury disadvantage will bite Mavericks here and the Dubs will likely win by at least 6 points here.

Projected Spread: Warriors -8.5 for -105 at BetMGM
