Dallas Mavericks ML (+110)
Bad habits don't go away overnight, so I'm not really sure why everyone is expecting the Warriors to all of a sudden go on a roll in road games after winning just their 1st game since January away from home. At 8-29 SU they're among the 4 worst road teams in the league this season, joining the elusive company of the Detroit Pistons, Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs. Tonight they're going up against a Dallas side that's beaten them 5 times in their last 6 visits to American Airlines Center and with a 3-6 SU/ATS record over their last 9 games overall I'm not sure they can get anything out of this game. Dallas also hasn't had the best of times lately, but with the expected return of Luka Doncic and a fresh Kyrie Irving they'll be a tough out for whoever gets them in the first round. They won 2 of their last 3 games and have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5. Getting Doncic back here would be massive, he's always motivated to do well agai nst Steph. In the last game vs Golden State he had a 41 point, 12 rebound and 12 assist triple-double, it was his 2nd game in a row against them with over 40 points. I'll be backing the Mavs here.
