The Golden State Warriors finish off their six-game road-trip with one final stop in the state of Texas as they take on the Dallas Mavericks. Tip-off is set for 6:30 PM PT in Dallas and can be watched on Peacock and NBC Sports Bay Area.
Previously with the Warriors:
The Warriors fell to five games under .500 following Saturday night’s 126–110 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. It was
a familiar script for Golden State throughout this road trip — a strong start followed by a sharp drop-off as the game progressed.
The offense held up early, with the Warriors trailing by just two points at halftime. But things unraveled coming out of the break, as Atlanta broke the game open with a dominant 39–20 third quarter.
Of course, much of the attention heading into the game centered on the matchup against former Warrior Jonathan Kuminga. However, Golden State kept him largely in check. Kuminga remained scoreless for most of the night, scoring his only basket on a layup midway through the fourth quarter with the game already out of reach. He finished with just two points on 1-of-9 shooting, along with four rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two turnovers.
While the reunion didn’t quite live up to the hype, it was a sign that both sides have begun to move forward with no more lingering bad blood between them.
What to watch for tonight:
The Warriors will look to end the road trip on a positive note against a Mavericks team that has been trending in a similar direction. Just like Golden State, Dallas has lost three straight games including eight of its last 10.
The difference, however, lies in the standings, where the Mavericks sit well behind the Warriors and have little incentive to push for wins — especially with this upcoming draft marking the final year they fully control their first-round pick until 2030.
There is some good news for Golden State. Kristaps Porzingis is listed as probable and appears on track to play after missing Saturday’s game with a back injury. He’s made a noticeable impact on both ends whenever he plays but his availability has been the main concern during his Warriors’ tenure thus far.
