Dallas
Matchups - Strongly favour the Mavericks at all positions. The Mavs will have a much stronger presence on the glass and Chicago has no inside game. If they're hot from outside, there mght be trouble, but Dallas has one of the better defenses in the league, especially against jump shooting teams, and since the Bulls live and die by the jump shot, the odds would favour the Mavs here.
The Mavs have notched up good wins on the road against the Rockets and should've won in New Orleans had it not been for a Peja 3 at the buzzer which took the game into OT. The loss at Milwaukee and Indiana were just some players from those respective teams getting hot super hot in the last q. I think Dallas is over that given how they played New Orleans, which IMO wasn't even up to their potential. The only reason they're getting a short line is because the Bulls strung 2 wins together, but these teams were the Bobcats and Hawks. Mavericks on a short line in any arena in the eastern conference is generally good value.
Warriors
Matchups - except for Lewis and Howard, the Warriors have better matchups at all other positions. Jameer is gonna have a hard time up against Baron. Generally the Warriors are much quicker and Jackson should give Lewis a hard time. Every time Howard catches the ball in the post, you know there's going to be a quick double which should frustrate Howard and force him to either force a shot or kick out. But the Warriors have active hands and play the passing lanes well. And given the easy win they had tonight, they should have more in the tank to run with the Magic. The crowd will be electric as usual, which has been huge for the Warriors and should rattle the Magic too, since they will be shooting a lot of 3s. Once the 4th q comes around, they'll probably come out flat. Expecting the Warriors to get a lead early and maintain it all the way.

Nah. Standard play for now. After Boston tore me a new asshole today with that moose, I think I'm gonna take it easy for a bit.
But yea, I think had I not taken the Boston hit tonight, Dallas would most likely have been a big play. I need to sleep over it though first. I might change my mind tomorrow, cuz I really like the play.
Btw- when ur gut tells you not to do something, it's usually right.
