T.M. Selection: Mavericks/Warriors OVER.

I am on the over in the Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors game on Thursday. The Mavericks looked really good in the previous game, taking control of that game early and dominating it for most of the way. They have put up 100+ points in 3 games in a row now, despite losing 2 of those games, and I think this is going to be another high scoring game where they have to match the Warriors and exceed their effort to stay alive in this series. This will be a difficult game for the Mavericks with this being a road game for them so they will need to come with their best effort here since the Warriors will be at their best on their home court here. I expect to see the best effort from the Mavericks here too though with this being an elimination game for them, I think they are going to be desperate here and come with their best effort too. The Warriors have looked great in every game of this series except for the previous game, and even then they still made a bit of a comeback in the 2nd half. They have put up 109+ points in every game of this series and they have done it in 5 games in a row now going back to their previous series. I think the Warriors are going to play a lot better on their home court here and I expect them to shoot a lot better from the arc too. I think the Mavericks will be forced to keep up with the Warriors in this game by putting up more points and I see this turning into a high scoring game. I like the over here.

T.M. Prediction: 121-110 Warriors.
