Betting tips for Western Conference finals -- Mavericks-Warriors Game 5

Cooking With Curry: Golden State has failed to eliminate their opponent in their first try in all three rounds of the playoffs, but succeeded the next game in each of the previous two series In those two games, Stephen Curry accounted for 26.5% of Golden State's field goal attempts. He has gone 47.5% from the field and 45.8% from 3 in the series, so any usage bump tonight suggests Curry should be in a good spot to go over his point projection of 27.5 tonight.

Best bet: Draymond Green over 22.5 points + assists + rebounds. Green is well known for his heroics in the playoffs. I would be shocked if he didn't turn in a monster performance with a chance to punch a ticket to the NBA Finals. The Warriors continue to play small-ball lineups giving Green more opportunities to score and rebound. He has averages 9.0 PPG, 4.8 APG, and 6.5 RPG during the postseason. — Eric Moody

Best bet: Mavericks 1H (+3.5)

This play is all about the eye test. I still believe Dallas is comparable to Golden State, the Mavericks just need to hit their outside shots. When they do, they're very competitive with this Warriors team that is slightly overrated.
