Two Western Conference contenders face off in the Bay Area on Monday, with the Golden State Warriors hosting the Phoenix Suns.
While we won’t get a chance to see Kevin Durant face his former team since he’s injured, this still should be a great matchup, and one that could be the No. 4 vs. No. 5 series in the playoffs.
The Warriors have two stars that I’m targeting for my best prop bets in this game:
Suns vs. Warriors best NBA prop bets
- Steph Curry OVER 28.5 Points
- Draymond Green OVER 9.5 Points
Steph Curry OVER 28.5 Points
Steph Curry has cleared this line in seven of his last 10 games, and he’s cleared it in three of his last four since returning from a leg injury.
The four-time NBA champion is taking 22.3 shots per game over his last four matchups, shooting 50.6 percent from the field and 48.1 percent from 3.
The Suns don’t have Mikal Bridges to deal with Curry anymore, so I’m back him to stay hot at home tonight.
Draymond Green OVER 9.5 Points
Draymond Green has picked up 10-plus points in five of his last seven games, attempting 7.6 shots per game over that stretch.
Even though Draymond failed to reach this number in his last game, he took 10 shots in Golden State’s win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
With Curry back, it opens up the floor for the Warriors, creating some easy looks for Green and Kevon Looney underneath. I’ll back Draymond to keep up his solid scoring stretch tonight.
