The Golden State Warriors vs. Dallas Mavericks will determine the season tiebreaker
The Warriors’ game tonight against the Dallas Mavericks will have a direct impact on the Western Conference playoff seeding.
Ultimately, whichever team falls into the seventh seed will participate in the play-in tournament. The seventh seed plays one game against the eighth seed, the winner of that game moving on to the playoffs’ first round as the seventh seed. The loser of that game would play the winner of a game between the ninth and 10th seeds for the eighth seed.
Both the Warriors and Mavericks have a win each in their two head-to-head matchups this season. The Warriors beat a Luke Dončić-less Mavs team at home in February and the Mavs snuck away with a three-point win in Dallas in November. “We understand the defensive approach we need to have. If we can get stops, we can run in transition. but where we get in trouble with them is when we foul too much — it’s been the story of the season, but especially with them.”
