The Dallas Mavericks head west to face the Golden State Warriors tonight. In an odd bit of scheduling the Mavericks face the Toronto Raptors, San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors, in order, for the second month in a row.
The Warriors enter with a four-game win streak, with their most impressive win against the Houston Rockets on Christmas Day. It’s a young scrappy squad looking for an identity while their superstars rehab from injury. But the Mavericks, who have been terrific on the road this season, will look for a repeat from their first matchup — a game they won 142-94.
