Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors have been in pretty good shape as they’ve won eight of their last 12 games overall and they will be hoping to keep it going after taking down the Spurs in a 112-102 road win on Monday. Jonathan Kuminga led the team with 22 points, Klay Thompson added 21 points while Chris Paul tallied 19 points with nine rebounds and eight assists. As a team, the Warriors shot 49 percent from the field and 12 of 27 from the 3-point line as they got off to a sloppy start and fell behind by 11 points, before they dominated the third quarter by 32-18 to take a 17-point lead and win comfortably on the road. The Warriors will take on the Lakers after this one.
Dallas Mavericks
Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks have been heating up as they are now aiming for a fourth straight win after blowing past the Bulls in a 127-92 road win on Monday. Luka Doncic led the team with a triple-double of 27 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists, Dereck Lively added 22 points while Daniel Gafford chipped in with 20 points. As a team, the Mavericks shot 54 percent from the field and 13 of 41 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates and dominated the first quarter by 44-16, before they went on another run in the third quarter to lead by as many as 37 points in a blowout.

Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks prediction
The Warriors are still a little shorthanded with Stephen Curry still out, while the Mavericks are still missing Brandon Williams for this one. The Warriors have managed to keep winning games despite missing Curry, but they’re not nearly as dangerous as we saw in their loss to the Spurs last week. The Mavericks have sprung to life with three wins on the trot and they looked gerat in their massive win over the Bulls on Monday, so I’m backing Doncic and the Mavericks to keep it going against this banged up Warriors squad.
