Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors prepare to open their NBA Cup slate against the Dallas Mavericks in a high-profile matchup.
Curry enters Tuesday’s game averaging 22.0 points, 6.3 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game, providing consistent production as he adapts to a new-look backcourt. With Klay Thompson returning to Chase Center as a Maverick, the storyline takes the spotlight, and Curry is an iconic figure involved in the narrative.
Here are some of the best prop bets for Curry on DraftKings Sportsbook heading into Tuesday’s game:
Best Stephen Curry Prop Bets
Points 25.5 (Over -120 / Under -110): Curry’s points line is set at 25.5, making the over a tempting option given the big stage and the added motivation against Thompson and Dallas. Curry scored at least 25 points in two of his three games last season against the Mavericks, which adds intrigue to the over as an option. The under provides a reasonable alternative if Dallas gets aggressive with defensive coverages, but the coaching staff has tried to avoid doing so against top players to maintain rim protection.
Rebounds 4.5 (Over +126 / Under -162): With a rebounding line of 4.5, Curry’s recent average of 4.6 boards keeps this line in play. While Curry has surpassed this line in crucial games this season, it’s risky to count on it. The over offers intriguing value at +126 for those expecting Curry to exceed expectations on the glass.
Assists 5.5 (Over -148 / Under +115): Averaging 6.3 assists, Curry has plenty of opportunities to rack up assists as a primary facilitator. With the assists line set at 5.5, bettors might lean toward the over. The under at +115 is a higher-return alternative if you anticipate more scoring from Curry or want to risk the potential for his teammates to have a poor shooting night.
Threes 4.5 (Over -115 / Under -115): Curry has averaged nearly four threes per game this season, making this line compelling. Against Dallas last season, Curry averaged 4.7 threes per game so that the over might be a worthwhile consideration, especially in an emotional game against his longtime teammate. Dallas will have a more challenging time containing Curry without Derrick Jones Jr. from previous matchups, as he left in free agency. Making matters worse for the Mavericks, P.J. Washington may not play due to injury.
Points + Assists 31.5 (Over -120 / Under -110): With Curry’s combined points and assists line at 31.5, this prop allows for a broader contribution. The over could be a solid bet, particularly in a high-profile game where Curry aims to set the tone for the Warriors’ offense.
Game Leader Points (+235): The +235 line on this prop offers a high upside for bettors anticipating Curry to lead all scorers. With Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving on the opposing side, Curry will need a standout scoring effort to achieve this, especially considering Doncic is the reigning NBA scoring champion and Irving is coming off a 46-point performance in Denver.
