<p>It hasn’t been the best of NBA regular seasons for either the Golden State Warriors or Dallas Mavericks.</p> <p><br /> In a league that is extremely difficult for a team to put together a winning streak, both teams have been exceptionally inconsistent on the court, leading to frustration among fans of both. Still, this is perfect for bettors seeking value.</p> <p>With both teams offering an air of unpredictability about what can be expected on the court, bettors at Sportsbet can find plenty of value in the available Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks betting odds.</p> <p>Read on for our Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks betting predictions as we look ahead to this contest on Friday, December 26, at 09:00 AEDT…</p> <h2>Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks: Betting Preview</h2> <p>When looking at two teams that have been hugely inconsistent and have found it challenging to play at home and on the road, it can be hard to know where to look and what to focus on. Indeed, the home/away form can be a good place to start: GSW has won most of its home games, while the Mavs have struggled on the road.</p> <p>GSW players have come in for criticism in recent weeks, with many suggesting they are underperforming. <strong>Jimmy Butler</strong> and <strong>Draymond Green</strong> are among those. Some in America have also cited <strong>Anthony Edwards</strong> for the Mavericks as being an underperformer. Will any of them step up and produce on Boxing Day?</p> <p>We can look back on the overall head-to-head record between these two teams, as they have yet to face each other this season. That might make it even more difficult to make a betting prediction, as they are 10-10 over the last 20 games.</p> <p>Over the last five, the Mavs lead 3-2, with the following scorelines:</p> <ul> <li>Feb 2025: GSW 126-102 Mavs</li> <li>Feb 2025: Mavs 111-107 GSW</li> <li>Dec 2024: GSW 133-143 Mavs</li> <li>Nov 2024: GSW 120-117 Mavs</li> <li>Apr 2024: Mavs 108-106 GSW</li> </ul> <h2>Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks: Betting Predictions</h2> <p>When trying to make our Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks betting predictions, there are a few bets we think potential value can be obtained by bettors at Sportsbet.</p> <p>Matches between these two teams have been competitive, with the points margin relatively small (excluding the most recent match). We think this is a trend that can continue, and, <strong>given our prediction of a GSW win</strong> based on recent form, it’s worth<strong> backing GSW in the handicap market to cover.</strong></p> <p><strong>Steph Curry</strong> always remains a value bet in the points totals, and we<strong> predict he’ll have 20+ points</strong> in this one as he continues his return after a layoff. <strong>Klay Thompson</strong> could have a big game, as rumours continue to swirl about a reunion with GSW.<strong> 15+ points</strong> present value based on his current form.</p>
