THE HOT CORNER
[Todd Dewey Review-Journal, 22-18-1 (overall record)]
Today’s best bet: Golden State Warriors (+9) over DALLAS MAVERICKS
The Warriors have shown their recent success against Dallas is not a fluke, taking a 3-1 series lead after winning their last five regular-season meetings against the Mavs. The sizzling Warriors, guided by fearless former Mavs coach Don Nelson, also have won eight of their last nine games overall, starting with their last five in the regular season.
