Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/23/25

With 5 wins in 6 games the Mavericks have eased the pressure a bit coming from those that are doubting their ability to make it into the postseason, considering the injury situation. Caleb Martin, Dwight Powell, P.J. Washington, Anthony Davis and Daniel Gafford could all potentially miss Sunday’s game vs Golden State, but that hasn’t hindered the Mavs as much as people thought it would. Kyrie Irving is showing true leadership averaging 28.3 points per game over his last 8 outings, he’s had some pretty big games vs Golden State this season shooting the ball 57% from the field and almost 53% from three in 3 games. With so many big men out of the line-up, you’d think that rebounding would be a problem here for Dallas, but they are facing a Warriors squad that is averaging just 49.7 rebounds per game in their last 3 outings which is the 4th lowest mark in the NBA.

Implementing Jimmy Butler has gone seamlessly so far through 5 games with the Warriors winning 4 of them. Jimmy has already developed chemistry with most of the Warriors starters, while also raising the level of tenacity of the entire team on the defensive end. He is exactly what this Warriors team needed, as they look to make one final push towards a tittle challenge with Stephen Curry as their best player. Draymond Green even promised a championship during all-star weekend, which only shows how serious this team is. Will all that translate into success vs Dallas? It’s hard to say. The Warriors have covered just twice in 10 meetings and have only 2 wins in the last 7 games head-to-head.

Backing the Mavs to cover has yielded profit in 7 straight games, injuries have not been able to slow this team down. They just beat these Warriors by 4 points in a game played 10 days ago and now they’re 8.5 point dogs? I’ll have some of that action please. Back the Mavericks to cover.
