What our Post expert thinks about Mavericks vs. Warriors
Golden State sits third in defensive rating, though that strength has been neutralized by the limited scoring punch around Curry.
Dallas is even more constrained, ranking 28th in offensive rating while leaning on an eighth-ranked defense to survive, a formula that’s cashed the under at a 55.2 percent rate.
With the Mavericks cycling through makeshift point guards and the Warriors still ironing out chemistry, this profiles as a game dictated by stops, not shot-making.
