The Warriors and Rockets continue their first round series with Game 4 in Golden State on Monday. Currently, the Warriors lead the series 2-1. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Warriors are a four-point favorite for Game 4 and this contest carries a total of 202.5 points.
Below, I dive into three of my favorite player prop bets for Monday’s Game 4 between the Warriors and Rockets on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best Warriors vs. Rockets Player Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Jalen Green U 18.5 Points (-120)
The Warriors are Green’s kryptonite. In seven starts against Golden State this season, the shooting guard is only averaging 14.6 PPG. Green has stayed under 17.5 points in five of these seven games and he is shooting a putrid 35% against the Warriors this season. This savvy Golden State group clearly knows how to bother Green and expecting him to all of the sudden figure out this matchup on the road tonight in a playoff game is unreasonable.
The Warriors lead the NBA in defensive rating since the All-Star break and Green is a must-bet for under 18.5 points in Game 4.
Stephen Curry O 33.5 Points + Assists (-115)
Jimmy Butler’s (questionable, pelvis) status remains up in the air, but regardless if the veteran is active or not, Curry is a strong bet for this over. The sharpshooter is averaging 29.0 points and 7.0 assists per game in this series with the Rockets while shooting 53% from the field and 45% on three-pointers. As for his role, Curry is leading the Warriors with 39.3 minutes per game, a 28.2% usage rate, a 28.5% assist percentage and 12.7 potential assists per game.
That latter stat is a solid increase from Curry’s average in the regular season and Golden State being a four-point favorite for Game 4 on DraftKings Sportsbook is great news for the former MVP. Curry has been far more productive in wins this season, averaging 27.1 points and 6.3 assists per game (43 games).
Moses Moody U 8.5 Points (-115)
Moody has a ton of merit for this under. The 22-year-old has scored less than 8.5 points in two of these three games against the Rockets in the first round and Moody is only handling a 13.6% usage rate in this series. Quinten Post started over Moody in Game 3 and as a reserve, Moody only saw 23.2 minutes in the win for the Warriors. Moody finished second-to-last in plus/minus for the Warriors in this contest and given Golden State won this game by 11 points, Post should continue to start over Moody in Game 4.
Additionally, if Butler returns after missing one game, Moody’s role will suffer even more. Nonetheless, with or without Butler, 8.5 points is just too high of a line for Moody against this Houston defense that ranks third in rating this season.
