Been on a nice run. My warrior picks are 5-0 with the GOY and moneyline winner. This is going to be a VERY tough game to cap. Lots of relevant information for this game. Both teams are in the front end of a back to back game. Mavericks come into town then play Utah tomorrow while Warriors go to LA to play the Clippers. The Bay Area Beloved Monte Ellis returns to Oracle where they still love the guy to death out here. If you recall, Warriors fans booed owner Joe Lacob during the Chris Mullin retirement ceremony because he traded away Monte Ellis. Obviously it worked out great for Warriors and turned the franchise around.
So Mavericks are one of the highest scoring teams in the League. They are currently the number 4 scoring team in the league and have the 6th highest field goal percentage. Mavs score a ton through the perimiter and shoot at a high percentage. This actually is the Warriors strength. They are an EXCELLENT perimeter defending team.
I mentioned last week that the game against Boston was not a let down game, however I believe today is. You can bet the Warriors want to win badly tomorow at the Clippers. Theyre 4 games behind the Clip and with a win 3 is much more attainable. I know Warriors are looking at tomorows game where as Mavs can walk into Utah and beat them easily. The point Im trying to make is I really can see this Warrior Mav game going either way. I can see Warriors squeeking by Dallas or I can see Dallas Beating Warriors outright.
The only good feel I have for the game is the total. I think the under comes through. Klay Thompson is an above average defender that can shut down those jump shooters. If you watch his defense, he is always spot on and leaves very little room for those shooters. Not sure if this is known to the public or if its just bay area news, but Curry has a bad quad. Its very bad. Its affecting his shots. Jackson made it known that hes not going to play Curry very much, if at all. Granted the warriors bench has been playing awesome, I think it helps the under total a bit.
Heres what Im playing: (average bet $100)
- Warrior Mavs under 212 for $100
- Mavs under tt 1H 51.5 for $100 - if this loses im taking under tt 2h Mavs for $210
- Mavs in a teaser (other teams yet to be determined). No way warriors blow them out with Clip tomorrow.
Prop
**IF AVAILABLE (mine arent up yet) Monte Ellis under reb and assist for $200. My props arent up yet, but I will play this if its available. Its hard to judge how many points Monte plays because Klay will give him a lower shooting percentage, I jsut think that Monte playing here again is going to want to take a lot of shots. Last game at oracle he took 20. So its possible he gets over the point prop, but I believe Klay will stick to him well to limit his rebounds and assists. Many dont know this, but Klay claims he became a good defender by guarding Monte at practice. He knows his moves well and should limit his space.
ALso going to play Steph Curry points under. Hes still capable of dropping 20 when his shot is on. Im putting money on that his injury affects him and if it loses I can live with it knowing I had good info and took a shot. Ill put my numbers down once they become available.
What do you guys think?
