Mavericks-Warriors Game 2 Best Bets
The Warriors jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals after a convincing Game 1 victory over the Mavericks. The guys were all over the Dubs in the series opener - primarily due to the Mavs coming off a 7-game series and Golden State's dominance at home throughout the Playoffs. The Warriors did what the trio thought they would, but Raheem Palmer is starting to doubt his Mavericks. He still likes the Mavs for the series but has he bet it yet? And with the Mavericks offense stalling, how much of that was variance versus the Warriors' stellar defense? Does the pace suggest an "over" play? And when is the right time to bet the Warriors to win the title? Matt Moore and Brandon Anderson debate how to bet title futures before and after Game 2. Brandon gives out a few props, including Jordan Poole - a player he expects to have another great performance.
