The Dallas Mavericks pay a visit to the bay area to take on the best team in the NBA in the Golden State Warriors in this big western conference showdown. The Mavericks are coming off a 100-94 win over Minnesota on the road on Monday. Golden State meanwhile played in Sacramento last night. These teams have had a history of playing close games and we should expect another close one here. The good bet is on Dallas.

Extra rest for the Mavericks- The Mavs weren't playing last night like the Warriors and had the extra day to scheme for a big meeting against the elite record in the West. Getting the extra points with the Mavericks will be very useful in a competitive game here.

Mavericks improved play- The Mavericks have won three in row coming in after a stretch of four where they went win-less. In a very tough western conference, this game is far more important to Dallas then Golden State

X-Factor- Three of the last five games between these two teams have been decided by four points or less. That gives us plenty of value with the underdog.
