The next "biggest game of the season" is Wednesday night in Dallas, with #6 Warriors vs. #7 Mavs. The last such game started the road trip against the Clippers and all but Curry shrank to the moment. If the W's somehow do get the W in Big D, they will be on track to finish over .500.  If they lose, they will return to play Philly at .500, then fact the T-Wolves who just beat the Knicks at MSG (scoring a whopping 140), without Anthony Edwards. IOW, things get scary for the W's if they lose in Dallas, which I expect them to do.

Mavericks vs. Warriors spread: Warriors -10
The Mavericks are 8-17 against the spread in road games
The Warriors are 15-9-1 against the spread in home games

BTW, James Wiseman led the Pistons in a loss to Miami, as he scored a team-high 22 points on 10 of 13 attempts, with a team-high 13 rebounds. Made his only three point attempt. Played 30 minutes, zero assists, zero blocks, zero turnovers, two personal fouls and a -5.
