With the Warriors holding a 2-1 series lead, Golden State will look to put a stranglehold on the Houston Rockets when the two teams meet for Game 4 on Monday night at Chase Center. Stephen Curry remains at the foundation of Golden State’s offensive plans, especially with Jimmy Butler still recovering from a deep glute contusion.
Curry was sensational in the Warriors’ Game 3 win, scoring 36 points to help Golden State overcome an early deficit. With Butler sidelined, the Warriors leaned even more heavily on Curry’s shot creation and scoring ability, and he delivered against a Rockets defense that struggled to contain him down the stretch.
Here’s the featured Curry prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Monday’s Game 4:
Best Stephen Curry Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Stephen Curry Over 27.5 Points (-110)
Curry has averaged 29.0 points, 7.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds through three games in the series, clearing this points line in two of the three contests. He scored 31 points in Game 1, had 20 points in Game 2 and then exploded for 36 points in Game 3 without Butler on the floor.
Houston made defensive adjustments in Game 2 that briefly slowed Curry, but his Game 3 performance at home was a reminder of how dangerous he is when the Warriors control pace and spacing. Even if Butler returns on Monday, Curry’s volume and offensive role should remain elevated.
Golden State knows the importance of going up 3-1 before heading back to Houston, and Curry’s scoring will be pivotal to making that happen. After torching the Rockets’ defense late in Game 3, expect another aggressive scoring night from Curry in Game 4.
Curry understands the value of taking a 3-1 series lead to control the momentum in this matchup. Defending home court in Game 4 will give the Warriors a strong motivation to dictate the series.
