NBA Picks For Sunday May 22, 2022

Game 3: Warriors vs. Mavericks 9:00PM ET

PICK: Warriors +2 (-105)

That second half capitulation by the Mavs had Game 6 OKC/Golden State 2016 vibes about it all. Yeah, the series is still going, but it felt like Dallas just suffered a blow that they might not recover from. For the Mavs, their gameplan is painfully simple: shoot 3s. If they do in, you might win. If you miss them all, you'll lose. Both happened in Game 2, with the Mavericks shooting lights out in the first half before completely losing their second after the intermission. If that's all they've got to throw at these Warriors - who still have that ability to completely rinse their opposition in the space of 5 minutes - then we're not liking their chances to get a game back here. To get Golden State and the points feels like a gift.

All you need to do is place a $10 moneyline bet on the team you think will win with BetMGM Sportsbook and you'll score $200 if either team hits a three-pointer. It doesn't even matter if your team wins - you'll still cash.
