    Ben Burns: Mavs, Warriors to Go Under 209½

    Mavs, Warriors to Go Under 209½

    Game Time: 5/3/2007 10:35:00 PM -
    By: Ben Burns



    The Mavs and Warriors lit up the scoreboard in Dallas in Game 5, but both games in Oakland went Under in this series, and the Mavs have gone Under in 57% of their road games the last three years.

    These teams easily played Over in Game 5 of this series, which was in Dallas.

    However, the two games that have been played at Golden State both stayed below the number with relative ease, with combined scores of 200 and 202 points respectively. Including those results, the Under is now 25-16-2 in all Mavericks road games this year, and 6-3 when they are listed as road favorites of three points or less. Looking back further, and we find that the Under is 80-60-3 (57%) in all Dallas road games the past three seasons.

    As for 2006-07 only, the Mavs are allowing less than 94 points per game on the road, while the Warriors have also shown that they can play some defense, holding Dallas to double-digits in both series games played here. Finally, this total has climbed a few points from Tuesday's game, giving us some extra room to work with.

    Play: Mavericks, Warriors Under 209½

    Gutsy prediction after such a high scoring game five. I'd stay away from this one...

    Good call by Ben Burns. Lots of guys were taking the moneyline on GS but very few were taking the under. Ben Burns has made some good picks recently. He definitely has my attention.
