There are many reasons why this matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors will headline NBA news. The first is that this will be Klay Thompson’s first game against the Warriors and his first time returning to the Chase Center in an opposing jersey. He is bound to be met by a mix of boos and cheers. On top of that, this is the first game for each team in the 2024-25 in-season tournament.
The Mavericks’ last game was against the Denver Nuggets, and they managed to keep things close in losing 122-120. However, the Mavericks have lost back-to-back games against tough opponents, which could affect the lines for this game.
While the Warriors were not projected to be one of the top teams in the NBA futures odds, they have gotten off to a hot start this season. That continued with a solid 127-116 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, one of the best teams in the league at the moment.

Mavericks vs Warriors Betting Preview
Can Golden State Continue Hot Start?
Before the start of the season, the Warriors were a big question mark for NBA predictions. They had lost Thompson in free agency, which created many questions about the team. While Stephen Curry did remain, the rest of the roster was filled with questions.
So far, through 10 games, the Warriors have answered many of those questions. They have easily been one of the best teams through the start of the season, having the third-highest net rating at 11.8. That has led the Warriors to have one of the best records in the Western Conference when many people assumed they were going to struggle this season.
However, they did not play one of the top teams during the first seven games, in which the Warriors went 6-1 and covered six spreads. Per Mavericks vs Warriors betting tips, that has started to change.
In Golden State’s three games, that has changed. The Warriors faced the Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers and Thunder – three teams with at least eight wins – and went 2-1, covering the spreads in both wins.

The Warriors and especially Curry played well in the stretch. Curry had 36 points in the win over the Thunder, bue he is not the only reason for the Warriors’ success. Jonathan Kuminga had 20 points off the bench while Andrew Wiggins and De’Anthony Melton combined for 37 against the Thunder.
Even though Buddy Hield had a down night with eight points, he is averaging 18 points per game while trying to fill in for Thompson. The surrounding pieces around Curry are a big reason to back the Warriors in NBA picks in this game.

Splash Brothers Reunion Means Betting Over
This game immediately is a great option to hit the over with so many great offensive players on the court. With Curry, Kyrie Irving and Luka Dončić on the court, this game feels like it will be high-scoring. Plus, Thompson is going to want to have a big game. Even though he is shooting 28.6% from three over the last seven games, Thompson will look to shoot against his former team.

On top of that, the Mavericks are coming off a big offensive game. They scored 120 points, with Irving scoring 43 and hitting 6 of 8 3-pointers. Dončić also had a solid game with 24 points, nine rebounds and nine assists.
However, despite all of Dallas’ offensive talent, they have only hit the over four times in 10 games this season according to Mavericks vs Warriors betting trends. That is often because their points total line has been set high. The good thing is that the Warriors have hit the over in seven of 10 games, averaging the third-most points per game at 121.3.
The Warriors’ offense, mixed with the Mavericks’ star power and Thompson’s set to have a big game, makes the total great for NBA over/under picks. Even though the line has been set high, this game will still be high-scoring based on the storylines and talent.
