The Golden State Warriors have only lost to one team since trading for Jimmy Butler, and that is the Dallas Mavericks.

On Sunday afternoon, the Warriors have a chance to get revenge against the Mavericks and avenge their only loss in the Jimmy Butler era.

Fortunately for the Warriors, they'll have a major health advantage over the Mavericks.

The Dallas Mavericks listed Anthony Davis as out against the Golden State Warriors due to a left adductor strain. To make matters worse for the Mavericks, they'll be missing depth at virtually every spot in the center position against the Warriors.

Davis has no expected return date, but he's not expected to need surgery. Through the 43 games he's played this season, Davis has averaged 25.7 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.2 blocks on 53/31/79 shooting from the field.

Defeating the Mavericks on Sunday will go a very long way for the Warriors. Dallas currently leads the regular season series 2-1 and is directly above the Warriors in the standings. If Golden State can pull off a proper revenge game, they'll only be half a game behind the Mavericks for the 8th seed.

For as much as the Warriors have talked about taking the regular season seriously, Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks is a perfect time to show it.

The Golden State Warriors face off against the Dallas Mavericks at 3:30 p.m. EST.
