Mavericks Head West To Face Warriors
The Dallas Mavericks face the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena on Saturday night.

The Mavericks (28-44) come into Saturday's game once again hampered by their season-long ineptitude on the road. Dallas has dropped 10 of its last 11 contests overall, six of which have come outside of their home floor. Their most recent stumble came Thursday night, when they dropped a 116-100 decision to the Sacramento Kings. Justin Jackson led the Mavericks against his old team, posting 19 points, five rebounds and one assist. Dwight Powell supplied 14 points, five assists, four rebounds, two blocks and one steal. Luka Doncic generated a 13-point, 10-rebound double-double that also included three assists. Ryan Broekhoff matched Doncic's scoring total off the bench. Jalen Brunson supplied 10 points, three rebounds and two assists.

The Mavericks come into Saturday's game without any short-term injuries to report.

The Warriors (49-22) check into Saturday's contest in the midst of a strong stretch of play, as they've notched wins in four of the last five games. Golden State's most recent victory was at the expense of the Indiana Pacers, which they dominated by a 112-89 margin on Thursday night. DeMarcus Cousins generated a 19-point, 11-rebound double-double that included four assists and two blocks. Klay Thompson followed with 18 points, eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block. Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant contributed matching 15-point tallies and dished out seven and six assists, respectively. Draymond Green filled out the stat sheet with 10 points, seven boards and five assists.

The Warriors will rest Curry, Shaun Livingston and Andrew Bogut on Saturday.

Saturday's contest marks the fourth and final meeting between the teams this season. The Warriors hold a 2-1 series lead, having notched 120-116 and 119-114 victories on Dec. 22 and Jan. 13, respectively. Dallas' one win came Nov. 17, when they logged a 112-109 victory.
