The NBA has nine games on Friday night’s scoreboard, as the NBA continues group play in the Emirates NBA Cup. The last game of the evening is the second game of Prime Video’s doubleheader, featuring the San Antonio Spurs hosting the Golden State Warriors at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio.
The Spurs are 1-0 in Group C along with the Trail Blazers, while the Warriors are 0-1 with the Rockets and the Nuggets are 1-1. Overall, the Warriors are 7-6 while the Spurs are 8-3, but the Warriors beat the Spurs, 125-120 on Wednesday in a regular season matchup.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Spurs are 2.5-point home favorites, with the game total set at 233.5 points. In addition to the main game line, DraftKings Sportsbook has a host of player prop bets for Friday night’s matchup. In this post, I’ll take a look at a few of my favorites.
Let’s dive in.
Warriors vs. Spurs Best Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Stephon Castle over 30.5 Points + Assists + Rebounds (-104)
Castle has gotten off to a great start to his second season in the NBA, averaging 18.7 points, 8.0 assists, and 6.0 rebounds. He has started all 11 games and has played 33.1 minutes. He has played a slightly different role with De’Aaron Fox back in the mix, but he still has been able to put up good numbers with Fox next to him in the lineup.
On Wednesday against the Warriors, Castle had a triple-double with 23 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists for 43 PRA (points, rebounds, and assists). In the other two games that Fox has played, Castle had 35 PRA against the Spurs and 32 PRA against the Pelicans.
He has gone over 30 PRA in four straight and in seven of his last eight. Especially with a rematch against Golden State and a little extra NBA Cup motivation, he should be able to get to 31 PRA in this contest, and I love getting this player prop at almost even money.
Moses Moody over 12.5 points (-111)
The Warriors have shuffled their lineup a few times this season, and on Wednesday, Steve Kerr announced that Moody and Will Richard would move into the starting lineup for the foreseeable future. Jonathan Kuminga would be coming off the bench in that scenario, but Kuminga (knee) will not play Friday anyway with bilateral knee soreness. Kuminga only played 12 minutes on Wednesday off the bench, but in his absence, Moody should get even more work on Friday.
Moody finished with 19 points in his 26 minutes on Wednesday, and he has gone over this points scored line in four of his last six games. He’s averaging 12.3 points per game on the year, and with his recent increasing role, he has a good chance to go over this point line again on Friday if he draws another start, as expected.
Draymond Green under 4.5 assists (+116)
Green is averaging 7.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.5 assists in his 28 minutes per game in 12 games this season. There has been plenty of drama around Draymond and Jimmy Butler, but the team has won two of its last three games after knocking off the Spurs on Wednesday.
Green had six points, five rebounds, and four assists in 27 minutes in that game with the new-look rotation. His four assists in that game were even with just a 1-for-10 shooting performance, including going 0-for-7 from long range. That performance was his fourth straight game under this assist line. He had four assists or fewer in five of six games after putting up at least five assists in five of his first six games on the season.
Since his role has been less of a creator lately with Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry carrying the workload, I think he’ll say under this assist line again on Friday.
