ORACLE Arena, Oakland, CA

The struggling Dallas Mavericks (40-23, 30-31-2 ATS) will be in tough as they pay a visit the Golden State Warriors (47-12, 34-24-1 ATS) in NBA action Friday night. Tonight’s matchup will be the 3rd meeting between these two teams this year, with Golden State winning the first two SU and ATS. Agents using bookie software like Premier Per Head PPH Online Bookie Software currently have Golden State 10-point home favorites with the number at 207½.

Dallas had their worst scoring effort of the year last night in Portland, netting only 75 points, losing 94-75. The Mavs had only 13-second quarter points and could only manage to score 39 in the second half, led by Monta Ellis and Amar’e Stoudemire with 12 points.

The Warriors last played Wednesday night, a 102-93 home victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 9-point win wasn’t enough to cover the 13.5-point spread, however, the Warriors are 15-4-1 ATS at home this year.

Agents using local bookie software saw that Golden State was led by Draymond Green on Wednesday with 23 points, 12 boards, 5 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. Stephen Curry pitched in with 19 points, 11 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

The Warriors have been downright nasty at the ORACLE Center this year, with only 2 losses in 27 games there. The last time the Mavs and Warriors played was in Oakland on February 4th, when Dallas took a 40-18 lead in the first quarter, only to have Stephen Curry perform some magic to the tune of 51 points, including 10 3-pointers to help his team win 128-114.

The first meeting between the two this season was on December 13th, a game where bettors using sites for local bookies saw the Warriors a 1-point road dog. Golden State won SU and ATS 105-98, which at the time gave them a franchise-record 15th win in a row. Stephen Curry led all scores with 29 points and added 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.

The bettors using sites for local bookies and the Pay Per Head agents using Premier Per Head PPH Online Bookie Software have seen Golden State score 10 more points per game than Dallas in the last 10 played by each, with Golden State scoring an average of 103.30 per game to Dallas’ 93.40. Defensively in the last 10, the Warriors hold a slight edge, giving up 99.90 PPG while the Mavs are allowing 100.41.

Trends those using sites for local bookies should be aware of are the Mavericks are 6-13 ATS in the last 19 games in Golden State, although the underdog is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings between the Warriors and Mavs. Dallas has had a tough time against Pacific Division foes recently, going 1-8 ATS in their last 9.

Pay Per head agents taking bets on the number have seen Dallas go UNDER 22-6-1 in their last 29 overall and in their last 5, the number went UNDER in all 5 playing on no days rest, versus the Western Conference and following an ATS loss.

Head-to-head between Dallas and Golden State, the UNDER is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings; while Golden State has played to the UNDER in 9 of their last 11 overall.

Golden State is the last place Dallas wants to visit to break out of their slump as the Warriors are looking for their 24th win in their last 25 home games tonight. Dallas is trying to adjust to new additions Rajon Rondo and Stoudemire, but Coach Carlisle will need a miracle at the ORACLE tonight.

Prediction: Golden State Warriors 110 – Dallas Mavericks 95
