Smart Game Analysis
Golden State Warriors has a 58% chance of winning the game
The Warriors face a quick turnaround after losing Jimmy Butler to a season-ending injury, relying heavily on Stephen Curry to halt the momentum of a young, shorthanded Mavericks squad that has won three straight.
Key Analysis
- • Golden State is reeling from the loss of Jimmy Butler (torn ACL), leaving a massive void in their secondary scoring and perimeter defense.
- • Dallas has won three consecutive games behind the breakout play of Max Christie and rookie Cooper Flagg, despite missing Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving.
- • Klay Thompson faces his former team coming off the bench for Dallas, adding an emotional 'revenge game' factor to the matchup.
- • The Warriors' defense is vulnerable, having just surrendered 145 points in a blowout loss to the Raptors.
- • Golden State has struggled significantly on the road this season, holding a losing record against the spread in away games.
- • Dallas regains key frontcourt defender P.J. Washington, which helps stabilize their interior defense against the Warriors' motion offense.
