Must - Jason Kidd
- I predict that the Mavs will win Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals because they are a veteran team that is more familiar with deep playoff runs. Whereas the Thunder may come out as nervous and jittery, the Mavericks will likely play a composed game, playing behind the leadership of Jason Kidd. Running the team's offense, I think this Dallas PG will put up one of his better games of the playoffs, as OKC won't be prepared for the increased intensity of the conference finals. Will be content with a 25 PRA performance.
Bust - Russell Westbrook
- Same strategy, different round. The series can go either way at this point so avoid committing to a single team by using their superstars this early in the round. There is no reason to use Westbrook, Durant or Nowitzki tonight because there is only one game per night in the conference finals, and thus no other match-ups to choose from. Go with the likes of Kidd, Terry, Harden and Ibaka at this point.
