Dallas Mavericks Need to Do Better

Luka Doncic did okay in the first game with the Warriors, scoring 20 points – just one fewer than the game’s top-scorer Steph Curry.

Doncic was good, but his teammates were not. Not only did they fail to do much in the offense, but they were also poor in the defense. Still, truth be told, they were expected to fail in Game 1.

After all, the Mavericks’ strength comes from their home performances. On the road, they’re not that great. In fact, the Mavericks are 2-5 on the road in their previous seven away games.

Golden State Warriors Prove They’re Not a One-Man Army

Steph Curry is their best player, but in the first game against the Mavericks, the Golden State Warriors success came from a superb team play. The proof of this is that seven of their players scored double-figures in Game 1.

They’re expected to do great in Game 2 as well. Not only do they seem like a better team than Dallas but they have another major advantage – the game is played at Chase Center.

That’s the place where the Warriors have all wins in the previous nine games, scoring over 100 points in each of those.

Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors Game 2 Prediction

The Warriors are on the roll. They’re playing fantastic basketball, and with the help of their fans, they should be able to get to 2-0 in the Western Conference Finals. The big question here is whether they’re going to cover the spread? Judging by what we saw from them in the first game, the answer is yes.
