Warriors Need Win Vs Mavericks to Improve Playoffs Odds

• The Golden State Warriors have -280 odds favoring them to miss the 2024 NBA Playoffs.
• Golden State has -110 odds to defeat the Dallas Mavericks in a crucial game for playoff hopes.
• The Warriors are currently the 10th seed, holding the final spot in the Play-In tournament but five games back from a Playoffs spot.

SAN FRANCISCO – The Golden State Warriors need every win they can get to hold onto an NBA Play-In spot in the Western Conference. Despite their 40-34 record, USA online sportsbooks favor the Warriors missing the NBA Playoffs.

Will The Warriors Make The Playoffs?

• Yes +220
• No -280

Golden State has the Houston Rockets (38-36) hot on their trails for the final Play-In spot in the West. Even if they hold on to that spot, the Warriors have -280 odds at California online sportsbooks to miss the playoffs.

The Warriors are 1.5 games back from the Los Angeles Lakers, who are their likely opponent for the NBA Play-In as the No. 9 seed. As the NBA playoff picture currently stands, Golden State would need to beat the Lakers and the loser of the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings Play-In game to earn a spot in the Playoffs.

Potential Victory Over Mavericks Improves Their Odds

The chances of the Warriors making the NBA Playoffs would greatly improve if they earn a seven or eight seed in the west. A win against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night helps the cause, but sportsbooks for NBA betting have it listed as a pick’em game.

Dallas Mavericks Vs Golden State Warriors Betting Odds

There are equal -110 odds for either team to win the game. Despite winning seven consecutive games, sportsbooks that accept Texas residents aren’t confident with the Mavericks extending that streak in the Bay Area.
