Mavericks vs Warriors prediction
The Mavericks have ruled out Josh Green, and they have Dereck Lively listed as questionable, while the Warriors have ruled out Dario Saric, and they have Jonathan Kuminga listed as questionable. The Mavericks have quietly been one of the form teams in the league, and they just took down the red-hot Rockets in a big win on Sunday. The Warriors are starting to turn things around, and they are now on a four-game win streak after outlasting the Spurs in an impressive comeback win in their last outing. You can make an argument for either side here, but in terms of value, it’s hard to go past the Mavericks, who represent great value as the slight underdogs in this spot.
