The Mavericks have dominated the last round against the Phoenix Suns and stunned them with a ravishing 4-3 defeat. They managed to keep the dangerous outscoring Chris Paul quiet, and came out on top in the tie. They will be looking to set their eyes on their arch-rivals and the team that has dominated them in the regular phase of the season. They will be wary of Stephen Curry who is simply on a different level yet again this season and will be counting heavily on Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson to guide them to the finish line. 

The Warriors on the other hand would be considered the favorites going into this match who just brushed aside the Grizzlies with a 4-2 victory in the last round. The Warriors will be relying heavily on the performance of Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry who will have to give their best for the game on Wednesday. Andrew Wiggins will also have to continue his intensive run of form and will pose a huge threat for the Mavericks.
