Jalen Brunson Under 19.5 Points (-126)

The Golden State Warriors have been really tough on two-guards, and that has me on the under on Jalen Brunson's point prop.

In the playoffs, shooting guards are scoring only 15.6 points per game against Golden State.

Brunson was held to 19 or fewer points in four of seven games against the Phoenix Suns in the last round. In the regular season, he netted 14, 8, 11, and 15 points in four meetings with the Dubs.

Our algorithm has Brunson finishing with 17.8 points in Game 1.

Stephen Curry Over 5.5 Assists (-142)

In four regular-season meetings with the Dallas Mavericks, Stephen Curry was at his play-making best, racking up assist totals of 9, 10, 7, and 5 -- going over this line in three of the four games.

He also went over this line in three of the final five games last round versus the Memphis Grizzlies.

For the season, Curry averaged 6.3 assists per night -- including 6.6 at home -- and he's averaged at least 5.8 dimes per game in each of the last three campaigns. So far this postseason, he has averaged 5.6 assists per game.

While the -142 price isn't all that fun, our model projects Curry to tally 6.3 assists today.
