Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks Match Preview, Prediction, Betting Spreads and Odds - May 22nd, 2022 | NBA Playoffs 2022
The Golden State Warriors will travel to Dallas to take on the Dallas Mavericks in the third game of their Western Conference Finals. The Warriors are leading the series 2-0.
The Warriors assumed the worst when Steph Curry picked up an ankle injury against the Boston Celtics. However, the sharpshooter returned during the 4-1 first round win against the Denver Nuggets. That, and the emergence of Jordan Poole as a bonafide third scoring option helped Warriors beat the Memphis Grizzlies in six games.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks have rode on the exploits of superstar Luka Doncic. Spencer Dinwiddie, Jalen Brunson and Maxi Kleber have also stepped up to help them reach the Western Conference Finals. They have the offense to hurt any team on their day and will look to hold home court in Games 3 and 4.

Golden State Warriors Preview
The Warriors came into the postseason with fears their three key players - Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green - haven't had much time together on the court due to injury. However, with their next-man-up mentality, Poole has excelled after slotting into the starting five, allowing Curry to be eased back into the lineup.
With sharpshooters like Curry, Thompson and Poole, the Warriors have a three-headed monster who are a threat in the half court. With Green running the offense, the Warriors have re-established their championship credentials.
