The current betting odds have the Mavericks listed as a 1 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mavericks have looked really good in their games lately with their 45-29 record overall which has them in a playoff spot in the West right now and surging up the standings. They have been a really good road team this year with their 23-14 road record and they have been really hot lately. Meanwhile, the Warriors haven't looked great in their games this season with their 40-34 record overall which has them in a play-in spot for the playoffs in the West right now, but they are also holding down the final play-in spot in the West with the Rockets right on their tail just 2 games behind. They haven't looked great on their home court this season either with their 18-19 home record. The Warriors have been really hot lately with their 4 wins in a row now, but they are still just 6-4 in their last 10 games with their last 2 wins coming against some of the worst in the NBA. The Mavericks have been the much hotter team coming into this one with their 9-1 record in their last 10 games and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 7 wins in a row now as they are finally hitting their stride. The Warriors have been inconsistent all season and they aren't going to be the team to stop this red hot Mavericks team on their run. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mavericks to cover the spread in this game.

“When you talk about best player in the world, understanding the time and where we are in the schedule and this road trip, he came out and showed why he’s one of the best in the world. He set the tone offensively. … He put the ball in the basket, was able to read and play the defense we saw tonight. It’s up to him to do his job, and he did it at a high level tonight." - Jason Kidd after his team’s win against the Rockets in their game on Sunday.

“I think Steph was really extra motivated to play well in front of his kids and (his wife,) Ayesha. He played a great game. There was a lot of pressure on him out there. (San Antonio point guard) Tre Jones does a really good job defensively, (but) he found a way to get free and hit some big shots.” - Steve Kerr after his team’s win against the Spurs in their game on Sunday.
