Prediction
The Mavericks were dominated by the Warriors defense in game 1. They were held to 36% from the field goal and only 22.9% from long distance, the Warriors had 7 blocks against them as well. I don't see the Mavericks scoring that low again and the Warriors will be full of confidence for game 2 so I'm gonna take the over this time. In the last 10 head to head games the average score is 115.5-113.8 favoring the Mavs.
