[sc:NHL240 ]Pittsburgh saw its four-game win streak come to a screeching halt when the Penguins suffered a 3-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday. The loss to the Avs also ended Pittsburgh’s four-game streak of four or more goals in a contest, averaging 4.5 goals per game during that mean stretch. The Pens now look to resume chasing the New York Rangers and the New York Islanders in the Metropolitan Division when they go up against the surging Anaheim Ducks later tonight. The Ducks, who are 4-0 in their last four games, feel confident that their defense can hold its own against Pittsburgh’s attacks. Anaheim has allowed just five goals over their last four games overall.
Writer’s Prediction
Anaheim wins, 3-2.
Dallas Mavericks vs. Golden State Warriors (10:30 PM ET)
Line: Dallas Mavericks (+10) vs. Golden State Warriors (-10); total: 211.0 – view all NBA lines
Expect the scorekeepers to be extra busy tonight as two of the highest-scoring teams in the NBA square off in Oracle Arena. The Mavericks, who are fresh off a 94-75 loss to Portland last night, is fourth in the NBA in scoring with 105.2 points per game. The Warriors, meanwhile, are coming off a one-day rest following a 102-93 win against Milwaukee on Wednesday. They are averaging a league-best 110.1 points per game. Golden State beat the Mavs 128-114 in the two teams’ most recent meeting on February 4. The Mavs are 6-4 ATS in their last 10 trips to Golden State, while the Warriors are 3-1 ATS in their last four home games.
Writer’s Prediction
Golden State wins, 116-105.
