UPDATE: Steph Curry has now been ruled out for tonight’s contest against the Bucks.
Having recently celebrated his 37th birthday just last week, Steph Curry is still cooking. The NBA legend is averaging 27.2 points and 6.3 assists across 13 appearances since the All-Star Game.
The Warriors are 11-3 since then, and tonight, they take on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. Here’s the top Curry prop on DraftKings Sportsbook ahead of the 10 p.m. EST tip-off.
Best Steph Curry prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Curry’s lines on DraftKings Sportsbook are set at 25.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 4.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line is currently 35.5.
The Bucks rank 11th overall in defensive rating and allow the seventh-fewest points in the paint, also falling 13th in opponent points allowed per game. With Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez manning the interior defense, attacking from the perimeter is clearly the best way to approach matchups with this team — the Bucks rank 18th in opponent three-pointers made per game, though they also come in at eighth overall in opponent 3P%.
While Milwaukee has a good defense and some individual standouts on that side of the ball, the Warriors are in a position to counter it with their heavy dosage of shots from distance. Golden State attempts three-pointers at the third-highest rate of any team, with 46.3% of their shots coming from beyond the arc.
While Curry’s points prop is where many bettors will go, they could be better off looking at his combined PTS + AST line instead. Over 31.5 PTS + AST is available at -115 odds, and Curry has exceeded this line in eight of his last 15 contests. His scoring has dropped off a bit in his last few appearances as fatigue takes a slight toll on his legs, but this combined prop gives bettors some insurance for if he takes on more of a playmaking role tonight.
