Prediction
The Golden State Warriors will defeat the Dallas Mavericks and cover the 8-point spread in this game. The Mavericks are too injury-riddled for a red-hot Golden State team. The Warriors have won four of their last five games, including three of the wins coming by double digits. Even though they don’t have the size to take advantage of the Mavs injuries on the glass, they don’t have much rim protection. Lastly, if PJ misses the game, Dallas will miss another great two-way player. Golden State wins this game comfortably and advances to 30-27 on the season.
Final Pick
Golden State Warriors -8 (-112)
