It’s time for some more first quarter plays in this Game 1 between the Mavs and the Warriors. Let’s make it five straight profitable writeups tonight.
I couldn’t write up a first quarter article with the Mavs involved with talking about Luka Doncic. Luka led the league in 1Q scoring in the regular season and has been seeing the full 12 1Q minutes every game he’s been healthy. He’s averaging 8.9 1Q PPG, 4.2 1Q RPG, and 2.7 1Q APG in the playoffs. Luka hit 8/2/2 in every game against the Suns besides one where he had 7 points on 3/10 shooting. Ja also put up 2+ boards and 2+ assists in the 1Q against the Warriors in 2/3 games, so I definitely think Luka can too.
In his L2 regular season games against the Warriors, Reggie Bullock had 4 threes in both. Bullock also has 2+ 3s in 11/13 playoff games. Hopefully we can get another 1Q Luka assist to a Reggie 3.
Plays:
0.63U Doncic 2+ 1Q reb. / Doncic 2+ 1Q ast. -125 (DK)
0.53U Doncic 2+ 1Q ast. / Bullock 2+ 3s -105 (DK)
0.65U Doncic 8+ 1Q pts. / Doncic 2+ 1Q reb. -130 (DK)

Similar to Luka, Steph Curry’s 1Q numbers in the playoffs increased as he returned from injury and got back to the full 12 against the Grizzlies. Curry had 1+ 1Q rebound and 1+ 1Q assist in 5/6 games against Memphis, averaging 1.67 1Q RPG and 2.33 1Q APG in the series. Draymond has also been consistent in the 1Q for the Warriors, averaging 2.83 1Q RPG and 1.83 1Q APG against the Grizzlies. All we need from both of them tonight is 1+ 1Q assist and 1+ 1Q rebound.
We also just need 1+ 3 from Andrew Wiggins, who has hit 1+ 3 in 11/11 playoff games this season.
Plays:
0.63U Curry 1+ 1Q ast./Curry 1+ 1Q reb./Green 1+ 1Q ast./Green 1+ 1Q reb. -125 (DK)
0.63U Curry 1+ 1Q ast. / Curry 1+ 1Q reb. / Wiggins 1+ three -125 (DK)
