What to Know

The Golden State Warriors will finish 2023 at home by hosting the Dallas Mavericks at 8:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Chase Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

The point spread may have favored the Warriors last Thursday, but the final result did not. They fell 114-102 to Miami. The Warriors have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Meanwhile, Dallas also suffered a loss in their last game, but this one to Minnesota by a score of 118-110. The over/under was set at 228 points, so nice work oddsmakers; you were right on the money.

The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Tim Hardaway Jr., who scored 32 points. Dwight Powell was another key contributor, dropping a double-double on 12 points and 14 rebounds.

Golden State's defeat ended an eight-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 15-16. As for Dallas, their defeat dropped their record down to 18-14.

Saturday's matchup is shaping up to be a scrappy matchup: The Warriors have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 47.3 rebounds per game (they're ranked first in rebounds per game overall). It's a different story for the Mavericks, though, as they've been averaging only 42.1 rebounds per game. Given the Warriors' sizeable advantage in that area, the Mavericks will need to find a way to close that gap.

As for their next game, the Warriors are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 3.5 points. For those looking to play the spread, watch out: Golden State is expected to win, but their 6-12 record against the spread as such isn't exactly encouraging.
