T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors.

I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Dallas Mavericks in this game on Wednesday. The Warriors have won 2 games in a row but they also have lost just 1 game in their previous 6. They have been playing some of the best teams in the league too with their 4 most recent wins coming against the Grizzlies, the Suns, the Jazz, and the Heat. They won all of those games by 7+ points and they are still holding down the best record in the league this year. Curry has been playing great lately and carrying his team in some of their games but he has also been getting a lot of help from the other players on the team like in their most recent game against the Heat they won while Curry only put up 9 points but Jordan Poole had 30+ points. The Warriors have a lot of depth on their team this year and they are much better than the Mavericks who have not been having the year that they planned. The Mavericks are barely staying afloat with a 19-18 record this year but they have had a losing record a few times already and they keep going back and forth from winning records to losing ones hovering around that same mark all year. The Mavericks have been too up and down with their play this year and that is when they have been at full strength they still look shaky. The Mavericks have won 3 games in a row but I think that is going to end here and I expect the Warriors to break that run. The Mavericks have been getting by without Porzingis but they have also played 2 of the worst teams in the league over their previous 3 games. I think the Mavericks are going to be hurting at the loss of Porzingis in this game and they will need his defense here to keep up with the Warriors, Even if he is cleared to play, I still think that the Warriors are much better and will still be able to destroy the Mavericks here with how they have been playing all year. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 118-102 Warriors.
