The Warriors stole Game 1 on the road despite losing Stephen Curry after just 13 minutes. They’ll be without him again in Game 2 as he nurses a hamstring strain.
As a result, the Warriors are 10.5-point underdogs on the road, and the game total is set at 201 points on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Here are my favorite Draymond Green prop bets for Warriors vs. Timberwolves Game 2.
Best Draymond Green Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Draymond Green over 1.5 three-pointers (+110)
Green played like prime Curry in Game 1 of the second round as he drained four three-pointers on 10 attempts. It’s a rare sighting for the 35-year-old as he’s become less of a perimeter shooter in the past few years.
The four-time All-Star shot just 32.5 percent from distance this year, but he increased his attempts per game from 2.3 to 3.6. The 3.6 average is his highest since the 2017-18 season.
His regular season statistics aren’t convincing for Game 2’s over 1.5 made three-pointers, but his recent playoff performances give confidence. Green is averaging 5.1 attempted three-pointers per game across eight playoff games this year. He’s hit the over in four games, including two straight.
His past two games have seen an increase in attempts, too, as he shot eight threes in Game 7 vs. the Rockets and 10 in Game 1 against the Timberwolves. While scoring is never a sure-thing with Green, his playoff attempts make the over intriguing tonight.
Curry will be out, so other players will need to step up on offense to fill the void. Green could be one of those players.
