After a five-game win streak, the Golden State Warriors lost to the Houston Rockets 106-96 on Sunday. The Warriors are 21-6 since they traded for Jimmy Butler. Golden State has struggled against Phoenix this season, going 1-2 against them. Tonight at 10 p.m. ET, the Warriors will face the Suns.
Stephen Curry had a very out-of-character performance against the Rockets. He finished 1-10 from the field with three points. In his three previous gams, Curry scored 36,37, and 52 points. Here is my favorite prop bet for Stephen Curry against the Suns tonight.
Stephen Curry over 5.5 assists (-140)
Although he couldn’t get himself going offensively, Curry finished with eight assists on Sunday. With Curry being inconsistent scoring-wise recently, let’s dive deeper into another area.
You can get Curry to record more than 5.5 assists at -140 on DraftKings Sportsbook. Curry had exceeded 5.5 assists in five of his last six contests. In Curry’s last 20 games, he has totaled six or more assists 12 times. During the previous three months, Curry has continued to increase his average in assists.
Curry has hit this mark four times in his previous six games against the Suns. Yes, Curry is still one of the greatest scorers in the NBA, but it is hard to back him in that area with his inconsistency. He has only scored fewer than 25 points in four of his last ten games. Curry has had over 5.5 assists in 40 of 66 games played this season. The last time Curry had under 5.5 assists, he bounced back with four straight contests with six or more.
