Mavericks vs. Warriors: Best player prop bets for Game 2
Luka Doncic UNDER 31.5 points (-105) on BetMGM
I can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm fading Luka tonight given what the Warriors did to him in Game 1 defensively.
Game 1 was a clinic on how to stop Doncic, who was held to just 20 points on 6-for-18 shooting, including 3-for-10 from deep. It was the third-lowest career scoring playoff game for Doncic and just the third time out of 24 postseason games that he failed to score more than 20 points, according to ESPN. Credit also goes to Andrew Wiggins, who held Doncic to 5-for-11 shooting while forcing him into three turnovers.
Even if he shoots better this time around, it's clearly going to be a lot harder to hit at least 32 points against this Warriors' defensive scheme.
Reggie Bullock OVER 2.5 made three-pointers (+112) on FanDuel
One guy that Golden State couldn't seem to cover in Game 1 was Bullock, who went 3-for-10 from deep. The shot volume will clearly be there for him, especially with the Mavs taking an insane 48 (!) triples in Game 1. Bullock has gone OVER this total twice in the past three games, with nine total made three-pointers over that stretch.
Draymond Green OVER 2.5 steals + blocks (+125) on BetMGM
With two steals and a block in Game 1, Draymond and the Warriors used all kinds of looks defensively to disrupt Dallas. Honestly, his block should've been worth, like, two at least given what he did. Obviously, it started with a focus on Doncic, but the Mavs as a whole struggled shooting, connecting on just 36 percent of shots overall and committing 13 turnovers. It's very likely that defensive intensity will be back in Game 2.
