Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals suggestions off tonight and Brandon Anderson of The Motion Network is here to provide you a best bet (video above).
For Anderson, he believes that the Golden State Warriors, which arrive as consensus five-and-a-half-point favorites for the series opener, are the right side to back tonight.
The reasoning? Dating back to 2015, the Warriors hold a near-impeccable record in series openers.

“For the reason that [2015] postseason, the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 are 20-2 straight-up,” Anderson explains.
Moreover, the Warriors have dominated teams against the spread in Game 1’s played on its home floor. Across that very same span (2015-2022), the Warriors are 8-2 against the spread as a single-digit home favorite and have covered by a median of 6.4 points per game in those 10 contests.

Anderson also believes that the Mavericks defense will struggle to contain a potent Warriors offense, one more reason he believes Golden State will cover.
“[Golden State makes] a whole lot of back-cuts [and] there’s a whole lot of movement – you’re chasing Steph [Curry], you’re chasing [Jordan] Poole all around the court,” Anderson says.

Add in that the Dallas defense will likely have drained legs after ending a seven-game series against Phoenix and Anderson believes the Warriors to have their way and claim Game 1.
