The Warriors are 18-19 at home.
The fourth seed is a precious commodity since that gives the team homecourt advantage at least in the first round of the playoffs. So, it’s a position the Mavs covet as they head into Tuesday’s 9 p.m. contest at the Chase Center against the Golden State Warriors.
Mavs coach Jason Kidd has discussed the crucial variables on the line with his team as they approach the regular season’s final eight games.
“Just understanding what’s at stake, and being able to talk to them about what we’re playing for,” Kidd said. “You see the defensive side has gotten better.”
*Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (bilateral knee tendinitis) and center Dario Saric (right knee pain) will not play Tuesday, while Klay Thompson is probable with right foot tendinitis.
