3 Best Prop Bets for Mavericks vs Warriors NBA Playoffs Game 1 on FanDuel Sportsbook

Tuesday's NBA slate of 2021-22 playoff games includes a showdown between the Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors. FanDuel Sportsbook is currently listing the Warriors as the 5-point home favorites over the Mavericks.

Here are the three of the best prop bets for the Mavericks-Warriors game, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.

Mavericks vs Warriors Player Props

1. Luka Doncic - Points: Over 33.5 (-110)

Luka Doncic was the driving force behind the Mavericks advancing to the Western Conference Finals and things shouldn't be any different in Game 1. The Slovenian superstar enters the series after averaging 32.6 points on 24.3 field-goal attempts over his last seven games. Doncic has also scored 34-plus points in four of his last six meetings with the Warriors, including a 41-piece back in March. As great as Golden State's defense can be, few units can match up with Doncic when he's on top of his game.

2. Stephen Curry - Rebounds: Under 5.5 (-138)

After averaging 5.2 rebounds per game during the regular season, Stephen Curry has dropped to 4.2 RPG in the playoffs. It might not be a huge drop, but it makes all the difference on this prop bet. Curry has finished with five rebounds or fewer in nine of his 11 games played this postseason. He's hit the under on this prop in five of his last seven games against the Mavericks. Dallas is great at limiting the opposition's rebounds on the road (50.6 RPG, No. 5), so expectations should be tempered for Curry.

3. Klay Thompson - Threes Made: Under 3.5 (-106)

Klay Thompson played a huge role in the Warriors' season-clinching victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, finishing with eight three-pointers on 14 attempts. However, fans shouldn't expect a repeat performance. As great as Thompson can be from range, he's hit the under on this prop in five of his last seven games played. Furthermore, he's finished with three or fewer threes made in each of his last eight outings against the Mavericks, having not made four or more since December 2017. Thompson could explode again at any moment, but taking the under is much safer here.
