In a series that feels like “first to 100 wins” night in and night out, the Warriors pulled off a 104-93 victory.
It was a rock fight through and through. Houston got off to a great start until Stephen Curry ($9,000, 65.75 FPTS) found his flow in the second quarter. Golden State’s superstar was the driving force of the offense with a 36/7/9 performance on 12-of-23 shooting. It was a monster carry job with co-star Jimmy Butler out of the lineup.
Golden State covered the -1.5 spread on DraftKings Sportsbook, with the game going under the 205.5 total.
Draymond Green ($6,200, 30.5 FPTS) was the anchor to the defense yet again. His three blocks, two steals and seven rebounds reflect his ridiculous energy. No Rockets took flight on his watch.
On the Houston side, Fred VanVleet ($6,000, 28.5 FPTS) and Jalen Green ($7,000, 26 FPTS) struggled to get anything going. The duo shot 9-for-25 from the floor and scored 26 combined points. Houston’s offense struggled to get much going against a potent Golden State defense.
The series stays in Golden State with the Warriors up 2-1. Game 4 will be played Monday at 10 p.m. ET. Golden State opens as a 4.5-point favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook with the game total set at 201.5.
