Game Preview

 

The Dallas Mavericks did it! They won Game 4 119-109 to avoid being swept by the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference final. Luka Doncic (30 points, 14 assists, 14 rebounds) and Dorian Finney-Smith (23 points) led the way.

 

Four other Mavericks’ players scored 10+ points, including Maxi Kleber and Spencer Dinwiddie, who came off the bench. That was Dallas first victory in the WCF since 2011, when Dirk Nowitzki led them to the title.

 

“The biggest compliment we’ve gotten is they’ve got to play zone because they can’t play us one-on-one,” head coach Jason Kidd said. He’s not wrong, but he shouldn’t have said that right before the series returns to San Francisco.

 

As for the Warriors, seven players scored 10+ points. Stephen Curry led the pack with 20. He was followed by Jonathan Kuminga with 17. Maybe it’s time for Kuminga to take Kevon Looney’s spot in the starting lineup. Looney finished the game with only three points.

 

Here’s why Kidd shouldn’t have said that. First of all, the Warriors are 8-0 straight up when playing at home in the postseason. Second of all, their average winning margin is 118-103. Last but not least, they’ve never lost Games 4-5 consecutively after taking a 3-0 lead.

 

As expected, Golden State dominates the NBA odds for Game 5. They’re the favorites by seven points. Keep in mind that they’re 4-1 against the spread in their last five games. Nevertheless, the Mavericks are 6-0 against the spread in their last six games played on a Thursday.

 

In other words, you can expect another close contest. Except for Game 1, we’ve had a back-and-forth battle each night. Plus, the home side will go all-in trying to seal the deal, while the visitors will go all-in trying to force Game 6. The total, which has gone over in the Warriors’ last five home games played on a Thursday, is set at 215½ points.

 

If necessary, Game 6 is scheduled for Saturday at American Airlines Center.
