The Golden State Warriors are 27-26 and haven’t had the season they initially hoped for, but things appear to be on an upswing following the acquisition of Jimmy Butler last week and a hot scoring stretch by Steph Curry.
Tonight, the Dubs face a depleted Dallas Mavericks squad on the road at 9:30 p.m. EST. Here’s a couple of the best prop bet options on DraftKings Sportsbook for Curry.
Best Steph Curry prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
For tonight’s Warriors/Mavericks matchup, Curry’s prop lines on DraftKings Sportsbook are set at 26.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 4.5 three-pointers. His PTS + REB + AST O/U sits at 37.5.
Curry hasn’t performed up to his usual standards this season as the 36-year-old battles Father Time. His 23.3 PPG average is the lowest mark he’s produced since his 2012-2013 campaign (excluding his five-game 2019-2020 season). Curry’s efficiency is down, too, with his lowest FG% and 3P% since the 2020-2021 season.
Nevertheless, the superstar point guard is an all-time talent and seems to have recaptured a spark over his last few games. In his last four appearances, Curry posted 32, 37, 34, and 38 points. In each of those contests, he also dished out seven, four, six, and four assists. In short, he’s on a heater.
There’s a case to be made for riding the hot hand on the betting market. Over 26.5 points at -120 odds is a compelling option, especially with the Mavericks’ frontcourt rotation essentially nonexistent due to injury. Over 5.5 assists at -135 odds. The latter is probably the safer option given that Curry has surpassed the 5.5-assist mark in nine of his last 15 contests, plus the addition of Butler into the lineup provides a true co-star to pass the ball off to. Both are good options for those who believe Curry’s hot streak will continue.
For those who think he adds another high-scoring performance, Curry holds +135 odds of scoring 30+ points and is listed at +150 to lead the game in scoring.
