Odds Checker: Go with the Warriors to cover in Game 2 vs. Mavericks

Jason Radowitz writes: "The Warriors, meanwhile, have multiple players who can contribute if someone is having an off day. Klay Thompson scored 15 points despite shooting 1-for-4 from deep and Jordan Poole added 19 points off the bench after adding just one three-point make. Plus, Andrew Wiggins also gave the Warriors 19 points. This series is going to show just how deep the Warriors are. Dallas needs more consistency from role players. Dorian Finney-Smith can't be scoring over 20 points in one game and then be taking just six shots in another game for five points on the night. I'll take my chances with the Warriors at home."

Sports Information Traders: Warriors 109, Mavericks 105
