After defeating the Grizzlies in the Play-In Tournament, the Warriors are the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference and they will face the Rockets in the first round of the playoffs. Game 1 of this series is in Houston on Sunday and on DraftKings Sportsbook, Houston is favored by one point and this game carries a total of 212 points.
Below, I have featured my favorite Jimmy Butler prop bet to consider from this contest.
Best Jimmy Butler Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Jimmy Butler O 34.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120)
With every game pivotal for the Warriors recently, Jimmy Butler has been in playoff mode and flourishing. In his last four starts, Butler is averaging 30 points, 7.3 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game, and he has topped 34.5 PRA in all four of these games. During this timeframe, Butler is shooting 60% from the field and he is handling a 25.4% usage rate while leading the Warriors with 38.4 minutes per game.
While the Rockets rank fifth in defensive rating this season, 34.5 PRA is too low of a line for Butler in any matchup right now. The forward has a long history of stepping his game up in the playoffs and Butler should see huge minutes in Sunday’s Game 1 with Houston only favored by one point for this contest on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Butler should log roughly 40 minutes in this likely nail-biter and cruise past 34.5 PRA.
