Who’s ready for Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks?

Dallas was able to take Game 4 to avoid being swep, but the Warriors are heavily favored to keep their home winning streak going in the playoffs. 

I’m all over prop bets in this game, so let’s get into my three favorite bets for Game 5 via WynnBET: 

Best Prop Bets for Mavericks vs. Warriors

  • Jordan Poole 2+ 3-Pointers (-154)
  • Kevon Looney UNDER 9.5 Rebounds (-110)
  • Klay Thompson UNDER 18.5 Points (-115)

Jordan Poole 2+ 3-Pointers (-154)

Jordan Poole has been solid all playoffs long, and he’s hit multiple 3-pointers in four of his last five games. 

There’s not doubt Poole will try to take shots from deep, as he’s attempted 55 over his last 10 games. 

I think Poole stays cooking with the Warriors back at home. 

Kevon Looney UNDER 9.5 Rebounds (-110)

Kevon Looney has really been solid for the Warriors in this series, averaging 10.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game, but he’s come back to earth in the rebounding department after back-to-back 12-rebound games. 

Looney is averaging just 7.0 rebounds per game in the playoffs and is playing less than 20 minutes per game. Plus, he has really inflated his rebounding numbers with a 22-rebound game against the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals. 

Overall, Looney has gone over 9.5 rebounds just three times in 15 playoff games! I’m all about the UNDER on this prop in Game 5. 

Klay Thompson UNDER 18.5 Points (-115)

It’s hard to fade Klay at a number this low because he’s going to get a ton of shots, but Klay has failed to score 19 points in three of his last four games and has scored exactly 19 in two of his last six. 

The Warriors may be able to get up big in this game, which would lead to less Klay minutes, so I’m going to take the UNDER with Thompson struggling with his shot in this series.
