Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors Predictions, Picks, Odds, Preview For Game 4

The Golden State Warriors have the Dallas Mavericks against the ropes. They’re one win away from making the NBA Finals again, so they’ll look to close out the series in a hostile environment with another win on the road. Will they do it? Let’s find out!

All the hard work is about to pay off. The Golden State Warriors (63-32 SU) and (49-43-4 ATS) have been the best team in the NBA Playoffs and are now just one win away from their sixth trip to the NBA Finals in just eight seasons.

The only thing standing in their way are Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks (60-37 SU) and (55-42-1 ATS). Despite being 0-3 in the Western Conference Finals, they’ll look to live for another day and force Game 5 at Chase Center.

The Warriors have completely annihilated the Mavs’ otherworldly three-point shooting. They’ve done an outstanding job of guarding the perimeter and limiting Doncic’s supporting cast, even if he’s put up huge numbers.

Stephen Curry, Jordan Poole, and Andrew Wiggins have been on a roll in the whole series. And, even though Jason Kidd is great at making defensive adjustments, the Mavs simply lack the personnel to contain that much firepower.

Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors Game 4 Odd Analysis

The Dallas Mavericks are one-point favorites ahead of this win-or-go-home matchup. That’s unsurprising because they’ve been a better team at home than on the road. And, simply put, they can’t afford another setback.

In terms of the Over/Under, oddsmakers have set the game total to 215.5 points. That’s kind of low by today’s standards. However, it makes sense as the Mavericks have struggled mightily to put up points against the Golden State Warriors’ defense.

Warriors Sweep Mavs, Cover +1 Points @-110 (Odds via DraftKings)

You never want to put your money against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors in a situation like this. They can smell blood and aren’t the kind of team that takes their feet off their rivals’ necks, especially after the 3-1 debacle in 2016.

Even though the officials will likely favor the Dallas Mavericks to try and extend this series, we just don’t see Steve Kerr’s team losing. They’ve dominated the Mavs on both ends of the floor and will want to get plenty of rest before the NBA Finals.

Warriors Control The Tempo, Go Under 215.5 @-110 (Odds via BetMGM)

The Golden State Warriors have proven that they can put the Dallas Mavericks’ offense in a chokehold nearly at will. They’ve put together impressive runs and the Mavs have gone ice cold when they run their small-ball lineups, swarming the perimeter and disrupting their shooters’ rhythm.

Simply put, the Warriors are no longer a run-and-gun team capable of pushing up the pace for the full 48 minutes. They can’t run up and down the floor at full speed like they used to, so they’ll keep the tempo down and help this game fall under the total.

Our Bonus Player Prop Pick: Luka Doncic o35.5 Points @ -110 (Odds via FanDuel)

The Dallas Mavericks may go down but Luka Doncic will go out swinging. They’ve lost three straight games in which he’s scored 40+ points and we expect this to be the fourth. The Warriors can only do so much against Luka and he’ll likely get plenty of favorable calls and go to the line multiple times in the game. He’s one of the best playoff performers in NBA history already and will keep his foot on the gas in Game 4.
