5 minBoston Celtics vs. Golden State Warriors Player Prop Pick: Can Steph Curry Light Up the Scoreboard?
The Boston Celtics travel to San Fransisco to take on the Golden State Warriors. Steph Curry is coming off of a horrible shooting game, but tonight is a perfect bounce back game for him going against Jrue Holiday, who historically he has dominated. I believe Steph Curry will have a great shooting game tonight and cash this prop for us.

Boston Celtics vs. Golden State Warriors Prediction
Steph comes into this averaging 28 points per game on the season. He's covered this line in five out of his last ten games: logging 35, 29, 26, 22, 31, 34, 24, 17, 37 and seven points. Across this span he's attempted 18+ field goal attempts in seven out of ten games. I love getting this discounted line after a poor performance, especially at home.
At home Steph averages 30.2 points per game, 47.7% field goal percentage, and 41.7% three-point percentage on 19.4 field goal attempts compared to when he's away he's averaging 26.5 points per game, 45.1% field goal percentage, and 40.6% three-point percentage on 18.4 field goal attempts.
He comes up against a Celtics team allowing the fourth most points to opposing point guards on the season. Recent point guards against the Celtics have dominated: Patrick Beverly scored 26 points, Tyrese Haliburton scored 26 points, Jalen Brunson scored 23 points, and Darius Garland with 26 and 19 points.
Curry has historically done very well against the Celtics. Since 2022, he's put up 34, 29, 31, 43, 16, 34, 32, and 29 points. His one miss came in a game where he shot 0 for 9 from three-pointers. Given he is coming off a 0 for 8 three-point outing, I find it hard to see this happening again.
Lastly, the Celtics are allowing the second most above the break in three-pointers made. Correspondingly, Curry attempts over 55% of his field goals from above the break. I believe Curry is in a prime position to have himself a game tonight and I will be putting one unit on this play.
