Portland Trail Blazers vs. Golden State Warriors Pick

1u - Draymond Green o2.5 1Q Points (+120) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds

This bet looks gross. Allow me to explain why we are backing Draymond Green points of all bets. Shockingly, the hit rate is fantastic. Draymond Green has hit this eight of his last nine games where he didn’t get hurt and has been especially good in his last two.

Portland Trail Blazers vs. Golden State Warriors Prediction

In the last two games we have seen Draymond score 12 and eight points in the opening quarter. He is having a very nice year from the three point line and seems to hit one in the first quarter most games. The cool thing about this bet is that it can hit with one shot. If he is on the court then the play is alive at all times.

The Trail Blazers shouldn’t put up a fight here and I like targeting a first quarter prop in this game due to blowout risk. Portland is great at defending the deep ball from guards and allow the fewest points to small forwards. Process of elimination makes me think Draymond will get some looks.

This hit rate of eight of last nine excluding the two minute game at +120 is too good to pass up. In his last two games he is averaging four three point attempts in the first quarter, if he can somehow see four looks again I like at least one to go in. Let's roll!
