NBA – Golden State Warriors v Dallas Mavericks
Thursday December 31, 8am, Oracle Arena
The top of the table Golden State Warriors travel to Dallas to play the Mavericks (Live on Fox, Thursday 9.30 am WST)
Game rating – Warriors 114 v Mavericks 103
The Warriors are on the road in Texas for two hard games with the first against the Mavericks in Dallas. The Mav’s play a similar game to the Warriors, relying on many points from outside the arc and in their most recent game beat the Bucks at home (93-103) after also beating the Bulls on their home court. The Warriors have won five straight since their shock loss to the Bucks and they came from behind to outshoot the Sacramento Kings (103-122) covering the 14 spread in the process.
Prediction
The Warriors look a little banged up with talk that Steph Curry will take the next two games off to deal with a persistent calf injury. Draymond Green and Festus Ezeli are also listed questionable after missing shoot around on Tuesday and Leandro Barbosa is still out. The Warriors hold a seven game head to head lead against the Mavericks but with the injury doubts the play could be the wire to wire any other result, banking on the Mavs to snare an early lead.
Suggested Bets
Wire to wire any other result $2.
