With Stephen Curry sidelined for a second straight game, Jimmy Butler will continue to shoulder a significant burden as the Golden State Warriors aim to even their Western Conference Semifinals series against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4.
Butler came through with a stellar Game 3 performance, and oddsmakers expect another big night.
Here’s the featured Butler prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Monday’s Game 4:
Best Jimmy Butler Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Over 39.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-115)
Butler cleared this line with 47 combined PRA in Game 3 and has now exceeded 39.5 PRA in three straight games without Curry. With the Timberwolves locking in defensively, Butler’s role as a scorer and facilitator becomes even more critical.
“We can compete without Steph,” Butler said. “We’re still as confident as ever. We’re going to go back to the film, to the drawing boards, and figure it out. Come back in here on Monday and get this thing to 2-2.”
Butler also emphasized the need to stay composed and let the veterans lead.
“I’m not going to tell my guys to be desperate or is any more urgent than anything,” he said. “You go out there and you play basketball and you hoop… Leave all the noise up to myself, to Dre, to Steph, and to the coaching staff.”
Butler has averaged 27.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 6.1 assists in the playoffs and continues to deliver in high-leverage moments. With Golden State’s season teetering, he made the message clear.
“If we don’t win, we damn sure don’t have to worry about getting Steph back this year,” Butler said. “We gotta put our big boy pants on and go out there and compete at a high level.”
Given his offensive workload, leadership responsibilities, and consistent production, Butler is well-positioned to surpass this PRA line again in Game 4.
