Last game was pretty rough and I ended up going 1-3 because Curry and Draymond didn’t grab any 1Q rebounds OR assists. Luckily, Looney came through and saved me from the reverse sweep. I’m back again today though with 4 plays I like for the 1Q in tonight’s Warriors vs Celtics matchup.
While I’m not fully confident in seeing Curry getting back to getting 2+ 1Q rebounds easily, I know that last game was a statistical 1Q anomaly for the Warriors as Draymond Green and Steph Curry both had 0 1Q rebounds and 0 1Q assists. Curry also only played 10 1Q minutes because of foul trouble. Draymond had 9 straight games with 1+ 1Q rebound and 1+ 1Q assist while Steph had 7 straight games with 2+ 1Q rebounds and 2+ 1Q assists. I think they’ll get back to their normal 1Q selves tonight in what feels like a must win game for the Warriors. I’ll also be going back to Kevon Looney tonight, who has 2+ 1Q rebounds and 2+ 1Q rebounds in 7 of his last 8 playoff games. This only gets me to -160, so I’m adding Steph Curry 1+ steal to get us to +105 on DK. Curry has 1+ steals in 5 straight, including 3, 3, and 2 steals on the series.
Plays:
0.6U Curry/Green 1+ 1Q ast. / Curry/Green 1+ 1Q reb. -120 (DK)
0.5U Looney 2+ 1Q pts. / Looney 2+ 1Q reb. / Curry 1+ steals +105 (DK)
The Celtics have been good to us in the 1Q and I think that continues again tonight. Jayson Tatum has 1+ 1Q rebound in 8 of his last 10, including 2 1Q rebounds in G2 and G3. Marcus Smart also has 1+ 1Q rebound in 8 of his last 10 and 12 straight playoff games with 1+ 1Q assist. He also tends to get an extra 1Q minute or two at home, which could be important for one board or one assist. Jaylen Brown has picked up the 1Q rebounding recently with 1+ 1Q rebound in 9 of his last 10, including 2, 3, and 5 1Q rebounds vs the Warriors.
Plays:
0.58U Curry / Tatum / Green / Brown 1+ 1Q reb. -115 (DK)
0.5U Brown 1+ 1Q reb. / Smart 1+ 1Q reb. / Smart 1+ 1Q ast. +100 (DK)
