NBA Basketball
Dallas Mavericks (66-14) at Golden State Warriors (40-40)
10:35 pm Eastern
SBG Global Opening Line: Warriors -6, Total 217

With a little luck tonight the Golden State Warriors might end the longest current playoff drought in the NBA.  If the Warriors can beat Dallas and if Phoenix beats the Clippers then Golden State will be in the playoffs for the first time in 12 years.  Golden State can clinch a playoff spot by winning their last two games even if the Clippers win their final two games.  Golden State is at Portland to end the regular season on Wednesday. However, the gambling public at SBG Global  feels that even though the Warriors may win the game, it won’t be by more than 7 points.

"We're in the driver's seat, and what better position do you want, going into the last two games?" said Golden State point guard Baron Davis. "We're playing good basketball right now. We've got great chemistry, and we're still learning and improving. But we know we're not there yet. Dallas is the best team in the league. We've still got to keep our eye on what we want to do."

The Golden State Warriors are 7 point favorites with a total of 217 at SBG Global.

The question for tonight’s game will be how hard Dallas plays with nothing to play for. Dallas has clinched the top spot in the NBA.  The question will be whether they want to face Golden State or not.  If the Warriors are the #8 seed then they would face Dallas in the first round. Golden State head coach Don Nelson was the Mavericks coach years ago so it will be interesting to see what happens tonight.

The Warriors have won the last four meetings, including two in Dallas. Golden State ended the Mavs' franchise-record 17-game winning streak with a 117-100 victory on March 12.

Jason Richardson had 32 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Warriors to a 121-108 win over Minnesota on Sunday. Richardson has averaged 23.9 points and 7.4 boards in the last eight games.

The Mavericks are 37-14 ATS in their last 51 games as an underdog. The Mavericks are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Mavericks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. the Pacific. The Mavericks are 2-6-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Golden State.
