NBA Betting Odds – Warriors at Mavericks
The Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks meet in a tremendously important game in the Western Conference, this Tuesday at 8:30 PM ET at the American Airlines Center.
Golden State, Dallas, Phoenix and Memphis are in a battle for the last postseason spots in the West; a loss against a top adversary will be difficult to overcome with just two weeks to play in the season.
The Warriors lost at home to the New York Knicks on Sunday with an 87-84 result as the team shot a horrible 35% from the field.
“Any loss in the end of March and April is tough. We’ve got to keep our heads up. We always say don’t get too down on nights like this when you still have (nine) games to play to continue to figure it out,” said Warriors Steph Curry. We’ve got a great opportunity to go get two on the road against two good teams. They’re both still playing for something at this point of the season, so we’ve got to get our mojo back.”
The Mavericks beat the Sacramento Kings on Saturday 103-100. They are one game and a half away from the Warriors for the sixth spot in the Western Conference standings.
“It’s unfortunate it’s been part of our DNA, and I just feel like we’re going to snap out of it,” coach Rick Carlisle said about the fact that his team blows double digit leads with consistency. “And I know we have to. So I’m a very positive thinker on this.”
The Mavs are 2 point favorites for this crucial matchup.
