Luka Doncic O/U 36.5 Points: Under

Playing against a smart team such as the Warriors, all eyes will be on Doncic on Saturday night, which will force his hand into creating shots for others. Take the slight under.

Mavs Reveal Injury Status for Kyrie Irving & Luka Doncic vs. Warriors

Luka Doncic O/U 9.5 Assists: Over

This comes secondhand with hitting the under on Doncic's points odds for the night. Doncic has dished out 10+ assists in three of the last four games and six of the last eight. Take the over.

Steph Curry O/U : 4.5 3PM: Over

Curry has struggled shooting over the last three games, hitting just 25.0 percent from downtown. It's only a matter of time before Curry finds his groove from outside. Look for him to do just that against the Mavs.

Prediction: Both teams are riding two-game losing streaks heading into Saturday night's matchup. Look for Doncic to outduel Curry for the Mavs to get back on the right track. Take Dallas +3.5 to get the win.
