Best Steph Curry Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Warriors are 12.5-point favorites against the Jazz, with an o/u of 229.5 on DraftKings Sportsbook. Here are the latest lines for Steph Curry on DraftKings Sportsbook: o/u 24.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 1.5 three-pointers.
The Warriors currently sit at #11 in the Western Conference standings, just 1.5 games outside the Play-In Tournament positions. It has been an up-and-down season for Steph Curry and his team. The Warriors rank 19th in the NBA in scoring offense but 8th in assists per game. That puts them at 2nd in the NBA in assists per field goal made. So, while they have one of the greatest individual shot-creators in NBA history, their offense depends on assists. Curry leads the team in assists with 6.4 per game, which is the 17th-highest mark in the NBA this season. However, outside of Curry, there are no great creators on this team. Draymond Green is second on the team in assists per game, but his game is not built around creating for others in the way a great distributor should.
This matchup against the Jazz is a good one for the Warriors’ offense. Utah currently sits at the bottom of the Western Conference, and they have struggled massively in basically every statistical category this season. The Jazz rank 29th in the NBA in defensive rating and 28th in opponent points per game. The Warriors’ offense thrives on assists, and the Jazz are very susceptible there. Utah ranks 23rd in opponent assists per field goal made and 27th in opponent assists per game. Curry in particular should be able to penetrate against this Jazz defense and get open looks for his teammates.
My favorite prop for this game is for Steph Curry to go under 24.5 points. This may seem counterintuitive against a poor defensive team, but this matchup sets up well for Curry to be a distributor rather than a scorer. One thing the Jazz have done well this season is defending the 3-point line. They rank 11th in the NBA in opponent 3-point percentage this season. They should run Curry off the arc and force him to drive, where Curry will then kick the ball to his teammates for easy looks. Curry is only averaging 22.3 PPG this season, and he has gone under 24.5 points in four straight games. He should look to rack up the assists in this game against Utah, keeping him under his points total.
