Pine users have been winning big at Thrive Fantasy so it makes sense to throw out some more locks. I'll be giving out more info on how to do that later in the story. But first, we have a huge match up as the Dallas Mavericks try to keep from being swept in game four of their match up against the Golden State Warriors. Here's my best bets for the all-important Game Four. 

Warriors G Stephen Curry: Over 4.5 Assists (80 Thrive Points)

This is one of the safest bets in my opinion. Curry has been averaging nearly 6 dimes a game in this postseason, which includes a stint where Curry sat bench for Jordan Poole. In fact, Curry has 5+ assists in seven of his past ten games. In six regular and postseason games against Dallas, Curry is averaging 7.3 assists per game, which is shocking considering Dallas is top ten in least assists allowed per game. Curry has taken a step back in his shooting so for him to advance to a sixth NBA finals, he's going to need to spread the love among his Golden State teammates. That's why I think this is a lock.

Mavericks G Spencer Dinwiddie: Under 18.5 Points (90 Thrive Points)


Dinwiddie has been the Mavs sixth man ever since he was traded for Kristaps Porzingis, and he has had some explosive games doing so. However, he's only averaging just above 13 points per game in the playoffs. That explosiveness has been few and far between as well. He's only had 19+ points in two of his last ten games. During that span, he's had five games of ten points or less. Yes, he had 26 in game three but that was because nobody else on the Mavericks besides him and Doncic could score. As long as Dinwiddie doesn't have a rare explosive game, this is an easy bet. Not convinced? Here's the PPG leaders in this series over the past month.




Warriors F Draymond Green: Under 8.5 Rebounds (90 Thrive Points) 


This bet comes straight from our AI Robot, who has given this an 83% SHOT at hitting the under. 

Let's break down why this actually makes sense. Green is averaging 7.1 rebounds per game this postseason, way below the 8.5 line. He also is averaging 4.6 rebounds per game against Dallas in 2022. Couple that with the fact that he has failed to even get over five rebounds in four of his last ten games, and it paints a pretty good picture of why the robot is correct here. Not to mention, Draymond has taken a bigger offensive role in games two and three. Im going back to the age-old saying "AI never lies" on this one.
