On a Tuesday day in the NBA, where up to nine games will be played, perhaps the one between the Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks will be the main course of the night. With so much at stake between the two teams, it's a must-watch. Stephen Curry and Luka Doncic, unsurprisingly, will be the two stars of the game.
The Mavs will be the visitors looking to extend their best form of the season. The Texas franchise has won its last seven games, which has caused them to be in 5th place in the Western Conference with a record of 45-29, and with aspirations to get home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, since the 4th place is Los Angeles Clippers with 47-27.
The Warriors, meanwhile, remain in the hunt for the Los Angeles Lakers (9th at 42-33) in playoff positions. The Bay Area franchise is 10th with a 40-34 record, while keeping an eye on the Houston Rockets, 11th with 38-36, who could give the Warriors more than a scare and knock them out of the playoffs.
Expert predictions (Possible lineups and result).
The main predictions for tonight's game have the Golden State Warriors slightly ahead. However, considering the form of Dallas Mavericks, it is very bold to think that the game will not be evenly matched or that it could go either way.
In addition, the potential lineups will be as follows:
  • Warriors: Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, Trayce Jackson-Davies.
  • Mavs: Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, Derrick Jones Jr, PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford.
