Individual Player Analysis

As Golden State travels to take on the Dallas Mavericks, the Warriors’ leading scorer is Stephen Curry. Through 64 games, Curry is averaging 25 points. On the season, he has surpassed his season average in 45.0% of his games. So far, the Mavericks are allowing their opponent’s top scorer to surpass their season average in 47.76% of their games, placing them 11th among NBA defenses. On the other side, Luka Doncic leads the Mavericks in scoring, averaging 28 points across his 67 games. Throughout the season, Doncic has outscored his season average in 42.0% of his outings. However, if he hopes to add to this total, Doncic will need to do so against a Warriors defense that has been tough on their opponent’s top scorers. So far, leading scores have surpassed their season average at a rate of just 42.86%. This figure is good for a rank of 5th in the league.

Joe’s Pick to Cover the Spread

It’s do or die for the Dallas Mavericks, as they enter game 4 in a 3-0 hole. In both games 2 and 3, the Mavericks were outplayed coming out of halftime. Look for Luka Doncic and the Mavs to address this problem and game 4, as they pick up their first win of the series. I recommend taking Dallas to cover the spread.
