Golden State looks overpowering now after easily defeating Memphis in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinal and then blowing away Dallas, 112-87, on Wednesday. The 39-point loss to Memphis in Game 5 was an anomaly as the Warriors didn't come ready to play, but now the Warriors aren't messing around, and they shot 56.1% in Game 1 of this series. Stephen Curry had 21 points and a game-high 12 rebounds, and Luka Doncic was held to 20 points on six-for-18 shooting overall and three of 10 from the 3-point line. Dallas is expected to score more than 87 points in this game, and the Mavericks understandably were in a letdown spot after winning Game 7 over Phoenix on Sunday. The Mavs have gone OVER in eight of their last 11 road games overall, and the OVER is 12-5 in the past 17 meetings. Also, Golden State has gone OVER in seven of 10 following a win. Play the Warriors on the moneyline and the OVER.
