Opening Line: Mavericks - 5.5 , Total 213
The Golden State Warriors return to Dallas for the first time since they beat the Mavericks last season in the playoffs. The two teams have played this season but that was at Golden State back on November 8th in a game the Mavericks won 120-115. The atmosphere on Wednesday night should be hostile toward the Warriors. "With what's gone on over the past year and a half between these teams, any time we meet it's going to be a big game," Dallas' Jerry Stackhouse said. SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Mavericks at Home.
The Warriors have recovered after a rough start to the season while Dallas is still among the league’s best teams. The key player for Golden State in their games against Dallas has been Baron Davis. Last year in the playoffs he averaged 25 points against the Mavericks and he had 37 points in the first meeting this season. Although the Mavericks and Warriors are not natural rivals the games are beginning to take on that sort of feel. "We have more of a rivalry with San Antonio or Phoenix, but the way the Warriors have been playing, it can definitely turn into one," Dirk Nowitzki said.
