Mavericks ML (-141) vs. Warriors 9:00pm 

While the Mavericks aren't technically eliminated if they lose this game, their season is definitely on the line tonight. If they fail to win and fall to 0-3 in the series, history tells us that this series is over. The Warriors roster is not going to be the first team in NBA history to blow a 3-0 lead. So yes, we believe the Mavericks season is on the line tonight. In terms of how they should perform in this spot, the Mavericks are 5-1 at home this postseason, and 5-0 with Luka Doncic in the lineup. The key to this game for the Mavericks will be knocking down their 3 point shots. The Mavericks score 44.3% of their points from beyond the arc, they live or die by the 3 ball. Another key to this game is limiting the Warriors bench which averages 39.4 points per game. That leads the field amongst all playoff teams. That being said, bench/role players tend to play better behind their home crowd. Look for the Mavericks role players to get the boost in Dallas tonight, and look for this team to be locked in wire to wire. Our bet is 1.5 units on the Mavericks moneyline.
