The Golden State Warriors have dominated in their first-round series against the Denver Nuggets, and they are looking to take a 3-0 lead on Thursday night.
With Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole all firing on all cylinders, there are plenty of chances to take advantage of the player props offered at WynnBET Sportsbook tonight.
Here are three of my favorites:

Draymond Green UNDER 7.5 Rebounds (-130)
Draymond Green has done a fantastic job on Nikola Jokic defensively this series, but it hasn't translated to success in the rebounding department.
Green has just nine rebounds through the first two games, and it’s worth noting that he’s cleared this line just four times in 13 games since returning to the lineup.
Golden State has been solid at team rebounding while Green locks down Jokic, so I’ll have him going under this number on Thursday.
Aaron Gordon UNDER 14.5 Points (-125)
Aaron Gordon has been dreadful in this series, scoring just 15 points through the first two games while shooting a combined 6-for-19 from the field.
Yikes.
I don’t trust Gordon to even get into double-figures in this game, never mind scoring more than 15 points. Fade him all the way against Golden State’s No. 2 defense.
Klay Thompson UNDER 22.5 Points (-125)
Three UNDERs on Thursday?
This is nasty work, but I think it will be effective, and that’s all that matters.
Klay Thompson is going to get his shots, but even with Steph Curry playing a limited role off the bench, Klay has failed to clear this line in back-to-back games.
When Curry was out of the lineup in the final 12 games of the regular season, Klay averaged 26.9 points per game on 23.2 shots per game.
Since Steph returned? 20 points per game on 17 shots per game.
The volume isn’t there, so I’ll fade Klay hope he doesn’t get extremely hot tonight.
