Warriors Can Eliminate Mavs Monday Night
24 Mar
Summary
- Warriors aim to eliminate Mavericks with a win Monday.
- Stephen Curry remains sidelined with a knee injury.
- Cooper Flagg shows potential with double-doubles.

The Golden State Warriors can effectively end the Dallas Mavericks' postseason hopes with a win on Monday night. As of March 24, 2026, Golden State holds a commanding 8.5-game lead over the New Orleans Pelicans and Memphis Grizzlies for the 10th play-in spot in the Western Conference.
A loss for Dallas would put them 11 games back with only 10 games remaining, marking a second consecutive season missing the playoffs. The Mavericks are currently on a three-game losing streak.
Despite losing eight of their last nine games, the Warriors have managed to maintain their lead. However, they will be without key players including Stephen Curry, who is scheduled for a re-evaluation on Tuesday after missing the last 21 games due to a sore right knee. Golden State has struggled, going 6-15 without him.
Brandin Podziemski has emerged as a significant contributor in Curry's absence, averaging 14.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, and four assists. Coach Steve Kerr praised his development. The Warriors and Mavericks have split their two previous matchups this season, with each team winning on their home court.
