Warriors vs Mavericks Prediction & Pick
Dallas may have a Summer League MVP candidate on its roster if it can sneak into the playoff portion. Hardy is averaging 24.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists across the first two contests. The 21-year-old is spreading the ball out in a way that continues to confuse opposing defenses in Las Vegas.
The Warriors have a similar playmaker on the roster in Lester Quinones, as he just put up 26 points in a loss on Sunday night. However, the team lacks any kind of defensive intensity as Golden State has allowed an average of 98.5 points in its first two games. It's hard to win without consistent defense.
I'll fade the Warriors here as they have yet to show a reason to be trusted in a close showdown.
Final Score Prediction:'Warriors: 89 | Mavericks: 95
Warriors vs Mavericks Best Bet
This line jumps out as a bit too low considering both teams have been involved in some shootouts in Las Vegas. In fact, the four games involving either the Warriors or Mavericks have averaged 191.0 total points. The scoring upside of 2023 draft additions like Dereck Lively II, Brando n Podziemski, Olivier Maxence-Prosper and Trayce Jackson-Davis is only going to grow as more games are played.
