The Golden State Warriors are slight favorites at WynnBET Sportsbook on Sunday when they take on the Dallas Mavericks at Chase Center.

We previewed this game here, but what about some props?

Here are three player props I have my eyes on for this marquee matchup:

Best Prop Bets for Mavericks vs. Warriors

  • Luka Doncic 3+ 3-Pointers Made (-135)
  • Steph Curry UNDER 24.5 Points (-110)
  • Kevon Looney OVER 7.5 Rebounds (-130)

Luka Doncic 3+ 3-Pointers Made (-135)

Luka Doncic has been on fire as of late, and he’s hit three or more shots from beyond the arc in five of his last six contests. 

Not only that, but Doncic is taking an absurd amount of shots from deep, averaging 8.3 attempts per game. The volume and opportunity will be there, which is a huge thing when betting on these props. 

Golden State has the best defensive rating in the NBA, but this game is going to require a strong showing from Doncic for Dallas to keep it close.

Steph Curry UNDER 24.5 Points (-110)

Steph Curry has cleared 24.5 points just three times in his last eight games and now he has to face a team that is top five in the league in defensive rating on Sunday night. 

Steph hasn’t had to go crazy with Klay Thompson back in the lineup, and it’s worth noting that Dallas held him to 18 and 14 points in their last two meetings. 

The Mavs have a variety of players they can send at Steph, and I think the under is the smart play at 24.5 on Sunday. 

Kevon Looney OVER 7.5 Rebounds (-130)

As long as James Wiseman is out, Kevon Looney is going to play big minutes for the Warriors at the center position, and he’s delivered by averaging 7.5 rebounds per game this season. 

Dallas is just 18th in the NBA in rebounding percentage, and Looney picked up nine boards in their last meeting. He’s struggled to clear this number lately, but I’m going to get back on the train after he started the month with several strong rebounding performances.
