If anyone can figure out the Boston-Miami series give me a message. I was expecting a knock down drag-out type of Game 4, but instead the Heat managed to score only 11 points in the 1st quarter and 52 through the first three. They ended up shooting only 33% for the night and this odd series is now even at 2-2. Tonight Golden State looks to finish off the Mavericks in Dallas and we will see if the Mavs have any fight left in them.

We went 1-1 on our Best Bets as we picked Boston to win on the MoneyLIne but took Miami to beat the spread. Our Best Bet of the Day record now stands at 101-54 in 2022.

We went 1-0 betting the MoneyLine and our overall record stands at 485-238 since Jan.1st.

Let’s look at what Vegas thinks about Game 4 in the Golden State-Dallas matchup for tonight.

*PAPA DUDES BEST BET OF THE DAY* Golden State at Dallas (-1): Golden State leads the series 3-0: It is going to be hard to make a case for Dallas in this potential elimination game tonight. The Warriors have won the three previous games in different ways. They blew the Mavericks out in Game 1, made a great comeback in a come-from-behind win in Game 2, and then got the lead and held on Sunday night in Dallas. They have received outstanding performances by a lot of players and, of course, Stephen Curry has been the steady captain who guides the ship. They won on Sunday and only hit 11-32 from the 3-point line which is a low number of made threes for them. Dallas wasted another excellent performance from Luka Doncic who scored 40 points for the 2nd night in a row Spencer Dinwiddie and Jalen Brunson did their part as well but that was it as the rest of the team was incognito. It’s going to take a superb effort from the Mavericks to extend this to a Game 5 as Golden State smells blood. It is pretty much a given that Doncic will do his part as he has established himself as one of the game’s best players. But, he can’t beat this team by himself. I give Dallas a decent chance tonight but with this being a 50-50 game, I have to trust what I have seen and that is a Warriors team that is on a mission. PAPA DUDES BEST BET: Golden State +1
