The Mavericks (56-38-2 ATS) were 9-3 SU in their last 12 games against the Warriors and are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 matches. The total has gone UNDER in five of Dallas’ last six outings, even as the Mavericks went 6-2 ATS in their last eight contests when playing on the road against the Warriors.

Golden State went 14-3 SU in their last 17 games, as they hope to follow up on their 112-87 victory in Game 1 on Wednesday.

Dallas must find a way to get Doncic going early after the Mavs struggled with 36% shooting for just 18 points in the first quarter of Game 1. Aside from Doncic, the Mavericks hope to get more scoring from top reserve Spencer Dinwiddie, who shot 5 of 11 but he needs to be more aggressive if Dallas wants to steal Game 2.

  • Over/Under — OVER 214 points
