🔥 Stephen Curry Under 25.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fading Curry in the playoffs isn’t a fun wager, but the Rockets must slow down the best player in this series to win Game 1.
Fortunately for Houston, it has the best collection of defenders that Curry has ever faced in a playoff series. Amen Thompson is the headliner, but there are several capable defenders on Houston’s roster.
That’s why Curry was held to three points on 1-of-10 shooting when these two teams faced off on April 6. I’ll settle for 25 points this weekend.

🔥 Amen Thompson Under 19.5 points + assists ⭐⭐⭐
Chasing Curry around can hurt a player’s offensive impact. Thompson finished with 14 points and six assists against Golden State on April 6, but it took 14 shots to get there. He hasn’t attempted more than 14 shots in a game since late February.
This line has dropped as low as 18.5, with FanDuel offering the outlier among our best sportsbooks.
🔢 Amen Thompson player prop bet odds
🔥 Dillon Brooks Under 3.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐
Brooks is better than social media will lead you to believe, but he’s only cleared this rebounds line once in his past 10 games. He averaged 2.9 rebounds per game in March and 2.0 in April.
The Rockets will depend on their larger lineup to start the series against Golden State’s small-ball unit, suggesting fewer rebounding opportunities for Brooks.
