Golden State Warriors Preview
The Golden State Warriors came away with an important win in Game 3. While many expected the Mavs to make the most of their homecourt advantage, the Dubs came prepared as they took control of the game.
Although the game stayed close in the first-half, the Warriors broke through with a huge third-quarter performance to take the lead.
Featuring some solid scoring from Steph Curry, who had 31 points and 11 assists on the night, the Dubs saw another heroic performance from Andrew Wiggins.
With 27 points on the night and a highlight reel of a dunk, Wiggins energized the Warriors defense and offense as the side moved on to a commanding 3-0 lead in the Western Conference finals.
Golden State Warriors Predicted Lineup
G - Steph Curry | G - Klay Thompson | F - Andrew Wiggins | F - Draymond Green | C - Kevon Looney
Dallas Mavericks Preview
The Dallas Mavericks find themselves in murky waters as they head into Game 4. Although the Mavs have done a great job in elimination situations this postseason, history is not on their side as they find themselves down 0-3.
No team in NBA history has made a comeback from this position. However, the presence of a generational superstar within their ranks does present an interesting conundrum.
Luka Doncic is a monster when playing in elimination games. Although he didn't get the support he needed from Jalen Brunson and Reggie Bullock in Game 3, Spencer Dinwiddie was still quite reliable.
Hence, the writing on the wall is clear - unless Doncic gets the support of his team, the Mavs haven't got a shot.
Dallas Mavericks Predicted Lineup
G - Luka Doncic | G - Jalen Brunson | F - Reggie Bullock | F - Dorian Finney-Smith | C - Dwight Powell
Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks Betting Odds & Spreads
The oddsmakers favor the Mavericks to win Game 4, albeit by a small margin. This could be because of their homecourt advantage, but more notably it could be because of their history of performances in elimination games.
The Mavs have been a resilient unit when faced with elimination. With 2-0 record this season and Luka Doncic playing some of the finest basketball of his career in these moments, Dallas could be favored to win.
