Teams Preview

Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors are set to face the Dallas Mavericks for the fourth time this season on Monday. It's the return of Klay Thompson to the bay for the second time this season after losing the first time he traveled with his new team to San Fransisco. However, the Warriors are behind in their matchup against the Mavs this season with the Mavericks winning two and the Warriors winning one. The Golden State Warriors have been shaky after a promising start to the 2024-25 NBA season. The season which began positively, took a u-turn with the injury of De’Anthony Melton and never recovered.  With 6 wins and 4 losses, in their last 10 games, the Warriors will be hoping to leap forward in the Western Conference standings. Once leading the standings, they now find themselves placed 9th with an overall record of 29 wins and 27 losses. The Jimmy Butler saga has proven to be a success so far with the team winning 4 and losing 1 at the time of writing. They are placed 3rd in their Pacific Division.

Statistically, the team has performed well in terms of assists and rebounds, averaging 28.8 assists per game (7th overall) and 45.8 rebounds per game (4th overall). However, they allow their opponents an average of 111.6 points per game (10th overall). Offensively, the Warriors have struggled with consistency, scoring only 112.3 points per game (18th overall). Individually, Stephen Curry is the team's leading scorer, averaging 23.4 points and 6.1 assists per game along with 1 steal a game. Kevon Looney leads the team in rebounding, averaging 6.9 boards per game. Jimmy Butler III has been exceptional so far, averaging 21.3 points per game along with 7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.3 steals per game.

One significant challenge has been the injuries sustained by the Warriors. In terms of injury, Jonathan Kuminga is out with a right ankle sprain that he suffered during the win over the Grizzlies. The starting lineup comprises Stephen Curry, Brandon Podziemski, Moses Moody, Jimmy Buttler, and Draymond Green.

Dallas Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks are currently placed 8th in the Western Conference with a 31-26 record and 3rd in the Southwest Division. After the side suffered a close loss against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, the game where the duo of Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embid scored 62 points, they emerged victorious against the Warriors which went down to the wire and they followed the win with another win against the Miami Heat in a close fought game. The Dallas Mavericks team is currently on a 3 game winning streak. 

The Mavericks have been performing well overall, averaging 115.6 points per game offensively (11th in the league), 44.3 rebounds (15th overall), a mere 25.3 assists per game (19th overall), and allowing opponents 113.3 points per game(17th overall). With the addition of Anthony Davis, we should see a difference in their stats for the future. Anthony Davis averages 25.7 points, 11.9 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game. After the trade of Luka, Anthony Davis made his debut for the Mavericks where he scored  26 points to go with 16 boards and 3 blocks. He also had 7 assists in that game. Unfortunately, Davis suffered a non-contact injury in the game and is expected to be sidelined for a month. Kyrie Irving is averaging  24.6 points, 4.8 assists and 1.3 steals a game and was named as a replacement for Anthony Davis as an All-Star reserve making him a 9X All-Star.

Injuries have been a sign of concern for the Dallas side. Dwight Powell, Dereck Lively II, Caleb Martin, Anthony Davis, and Daniel Gafford are the players currently injured from the Dallas roster. Daniel Gafford with a grade 3 right MCL sprain will be out for a minimum of 6 weeks. Dereck Lively II is out for at least 4 weeks and Anthony Davis will miss at least a month. The starting lineup is expected to feature Kyrie Irving as point guard, Klay Thompson as shooting guard, Max Christie as small forward, and PJ Washington and Kessler Edwards as power forward and center, respectively.
