After a disappointing Game 5 loss in Houston, the Golden State Warriors return to San Francisco with a chance to close out the series against the Rockets. Friday night’s Game 6 presents another opportunity for Jimmy Butler to make his presence felt after a quiet outing in the blowout.
Here’s the featured Butler prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Game 6.
Best Jimmy Butler Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Jimmy Butler Over 33.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-125)
Butler finished with just eight points and five rebounds in Game 5 as Golden State waved the white flag early, pulling all five starters with nearly 18 minutes still to play. He logged only 20 minutes in the loss, short of his usual playoff workload. Expect a full dose of Butler on Friday with the Warriors returning home and intent on closing the series.
Before the Game 5 anomaly, Butler averaged 15.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists this series — a modest line by his standards but still enough to keep this prop well within reach. However, his numbers have been weighed down by an injury after eight minutes of action in Game 2.
Known for stepping up in pivotal moments, Butler is no stranger to responding after tough playoff losses. He’s had multiple games this series exceeding the line, including 25 points, seven rebounds and six assists in Game 1, along with a 27-point, five-rebound and six-assist performance in Game 4.
Since acquiring him from Miami in February, Steve Kerr and the Warriors have leaned on Butler’s toughness and experience. With the Rockets building momentum and confidence, Golden State will likely turn to Butler early to set the tone in what could be the final game of the series.
If Game 6 follows a more competitive script, Butler should see a significant bump in usage and minutes. Expect a bounce-back performance and a return to the all-around impact defining his playoff identity.
