Stephen Curry is averaging 29.8 points and 6.2 assists, while Klay Thompson is averaging 22 points and 2.4 assists.

The Warriors are 16-36-1 ATS in their last 53 road games and 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games. The Mavericks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games and 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The over is 5-2-1 in Warriors last 8 overall. The under is 5-1-1 in Mavericks last 7 overall. The Warriors are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Dallas.
It’s hard to get behind the Dallas Mavericks with Luka and Kyrie out or questionable, but laying chalk with the Warriors on the road isn’t an option for me. The Golden State Warriors are 8-29 SU on the road this season, where they also lose by an average of 6.9 points. The Warriors have to prove they can get the job done on the road. Give me the Mavs and free bucket.
