I am quickly becoming a believer in what the Warriors have built this season. Offloading the aging Thompson and bringing in the likes of Buddy Hield (18.0 PPG) and De’Anthony Melton (9.6 PPG) has yielded immediate results. Golden State’s Offensive Rating of 119.2 is fourth-best in the league so far and nearly three points better than last season (116.9, 11th).
Golden State’s improvement defensively has been even more pronounced, going from 114.5 (15th) last season to 107.6 (fourth) in the early-going this year. And they have faced some true heavyweights already, posting road wins over the reigning-champion Celtics (118-112 away) and Thunder (127-116).
Depth has suddenly become a strength for the Dubs. Steph Curry is only averaging 22.0 PPG in 28.3 MPG. He missed three games entirely and Golden State went a perfect 3-0 without the four-time All-NBA First Team selection, routing the Pelicans twice (124-106, 104-89) and the Rockets (127-121 OT). Nine different Warriors are averaging at least 7.9 PPG.
The Mavericks, on the other hand, are struggling to find chemistry with all their new faces. They haven’t won back-to-back games this month and are coming off two straight setback to the Suns (114-113 home) and Nuggets (122-120 away).
Thompson has only scored 16 or more points in four of his ten games this season, and none of his last three. But I am expecting a big effort on the part of both Thompson and his teammates to get him involved early and often. It doesn’t hurt that Thompson is intimately familiar with the environs at the Chase Center.

NBA player props from DraftKings on Nov. 12.
Last year’s NBA scoring champion Luka Doncic has a game-high point total of 29.5 O/U. Doncic finished last season averaging a career-best 33.9 PPG. His point production is down considerably in the early going this year, dropping 5.6 points per game to 28.3 PPG in his first ten games. That’s not a huge surprise given Dallas’ efforts to boost its secondary scoring in the offseason, bringing in the likes of Thompson, Naji Marshall, and Spencer Dinwiddie.
Steph Curry, per usual, has the highest total on the Golden State side at 25.5 O/U. Buddy Hield, who’s second on the team in scoring so car at 18.0 PPG, isn’t listed in the props at DraftKings, which only has lines on the projected starters tonight.
