Over 1.5 3-pointers
-110
Prop #1: Stephen Curry Over 27.5 points
-120 at bet365
At this point, the makeup of the Golden State Warriors is so bad that Steph Curry needs to be close to supernova just for his team to have a chance to win.
After taking a hard hit early against the Clippers, Curry clutched up, scoring 27 of his game-high 35 points in the second half, erasing a 13-point fourth quarter deficit and sending LA packing in a 126-121 masterpiece.
That's the most points and most minutes he's played in the five games he's suited up for since returning from a knee injury.
He's scored at least 28 in two of his last three against the Phoenix Suns, and he should be north of that with his team in a do-or-die situation again.
Prop #2: Devin Booker Over 26.5 points
-105 at bet365
There's just no world where Jalen Green should have taken 12 more field goal attempts than Devin Booker in a biggie matchup (29 to 17) like he did in the Suns' loss to Portland.
With the chance at the 7-seed now gone, this has to be an empty-the-tank game for Booker, or this feel-good Suns story ends with a disappointing thud in the play-in.
Prior to this game, Book had gone for at least 31 in five of the last six, and he's been unstoppable against the Dubs of late.
Booker is averaging 30.6 points, 5.2 assists, and 2.8 rebounds over his last five matchups, and he's scored at least 27 points in seven of his last 10 against them.
Prop #3: Al Horford Over 1.5 3-pointers
-110 at bet365
Bottom line: Steph Curry doesn't get to do his heroics if Al Horford doesn't go Splash-Cousin in the 4th quarter against the Clippers.
Horford drilled all four of his 3-point attempts in the frame to get the Dubs in the picture before Curry drove the nail in the coffin.
Not exactly sure this was going to be his role for the Dubs, but he's one of the few non-Steph guys that's producing.
Horford has a generous 1.5 make line tonight, and he's topped that total eight times in his last 11 games, and in three of his last four against Phoenix.Ā
