Result: Win
The Warriors rallied late to beat the Bucks by a score of 102-93 on Wednesday, and they are a big favorite at home tonight against Dallas. The Mavs have lost three of their last four, and are coming off an ugly loss at Portland last night.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Fatigue - Dallas jumped out to a good start last night in Portland, out-scoring the Blazers 23-17 in the first quarter. The game was close right up until midway through the third quarter, but Portland went on to finish strong winning by 19 points. The Mavs now have to take on the top team in the West on the road just 24 hours later, and fatigue will likely be a concern.
2. Injuries - Chandler Parsons has missed the last six games with a bone bruise on his ankle. He will be missed, as he's averaged over 23 points in his last four games at Oakland.
3. X-Factor - The Mavs have failed to cover in six straight road games versus a team with a winning record, and Golden State has covered in 10 of it's last 14 against teams with a winning percentage of 60% or better.
Selection: This is a play on the Golden State Warriors (8*)
