Stephen Curry has carried the Golden State Warriors through countless postseason battles, and Tuesday’s must-win Play-In matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies should be no different.
Golden State enters the game on the heels of a 48-win season, but the crowded Western Conference has forced the team into the Play-In path for a second straight year.
Here is the featured Stephen Curry prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Tuesday’s showdown.
Best Stephen Curry Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Stephen Curry Over 34.5 Points + Assists (-115)
Curry averaged 24.5 points and 6.0 assists across 70 games this season and remains the focal point of the Warriors’ offense. He finished the year with 311 made three-pointers, joining an elite club as one of just five players to reach 300 threes in a season.
Against Memphis, Curry averaged 22.3 points and 4.7 assists in three matchups this year, but his most recent performance on April 1 showed just how dangerous he can be when it matters. In that game, Curry erupted for 52 points and added four assists in a 134-125 win, the only contest in the season series where Jimmy Butler suited up.
The stakes are much higher on Tuesday. The winner secures the No. 7 seed and a first-round series against the Houston Rockets. Curry has a long history of stepping up in big games, and the Warriors’ playoff hopes depend heavily on his usage and shot-making.
With Golden State relying on its veteran core and Memphis ranking among the league’s most aggressive defensive rebounding teams, Curry’s ability to create in the half-court and push in transition will be crucial. Curry will likely take on a significant scoring load while continuing to facilitate against a Grizzlies team he’s picked apart before.
While the Grizzlies have plenty of talent, they’re still adjusting after a late-season coaching change. This will be the organization’s first postseason game since firing Taylor Jenkins, which could complicate things.
