The Dallas Mavericks are a lot more attractive with Doncic in the mix, and I expect the Mavs to go on a run soon.

The Warriors win on the road by an average of 4.3 points, and they win as a favorite by an average of 11.3 points. The Warriors are 22-12-2 against the spread on the season. Give me the Warriors.
