Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Stephen Curry / Over Points / 28.5 at -115 / 65% / Curry’s usage rate exceeds 30% in favorable matchups, with Mavs allowing top-5 3-point volume; recent games average 30.2 points against similar defenses.

Player Prop #2: Luka Doncic / Over Points / 30.5 at -110 / 60% / Doncic dominates at home with 32.1 PPG average, exploiting Warriors’ perimeter defense weaknesses despite frontcourt injury concerns.

Player Prop #3: Draymond Green / Under Rebounds / 7.5 at -105 / 62% / Green’s rebounding dips to 6.8 per game on road vs. athletic fronts like Mavs’, with simulation factoring lower board opportunities in controlled pace.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment aligns with sharp money on the Warriors, as both percentages favor Golden State without notable disparities, supporting a follow strategy over fading. Injuries to Dallas’ bigs like Gafford and Lively weaken their interior, tilting the edge to Warriors’ versatile attack. Overall game scoring outlook points low, with defensive ratings and pace metrics projecting under the total in 58% of simulations.
