3 Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Warriors vs. Jazz (Fade Steph Curry, Trust Donovan Mitchell)
By Peter Dewey
The Golden State Warriors are underdogs on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz with Klay Thompson leading a loaded injury report for both teams.
With Rudy Gobert out of the lineup as well, there may be some value in the prop market at WynnBET for certain players to step up.
Here are the three player props I am considering for this matchup:
3 Best Prop Bets for Warriors vs. Jazz
- Andrew Wiggins OVER 16.5 Points (-135)
- Steph Curry UNDER 25.5 Points (-110)
- Donovan Mitchell OVER 25.5 Points (-115)
Andrew Wiggins OVER 16.5 Points (-135)
Andrew Wiggins has gone under this number in back-to-back games, but the All-Star forward is averaging 18.1 points per game and had cleared it in three straight games prior to this mini slump.
Wiggins should be in line for more shots tonight, as the last two games that Klay Thompson missed, he took 16 and 17 shots..
The Warriors could take advantage of a Jazz team that has a 118.5 defensive rating with Rudy Gobert out of the lineup this season, so I’ll back Wiggins to get on track on Wednesday.
Steph Curry UNDER 25.5 Points (-110)
Klay Thompson’s absence has not stopped Steph Curry’s slump, as he’s averaging just 21.6 points per game while shooting 39.6 percent from the field over his last 16 games.
Curry scored just 13 and 22 points in the last two games Thompson missed but he played, and he hasn’t cleared this number in nine of his last 12 games. Yikes.
I’m fading Curry since Thompson’s absence has pushed his prop number up from 23.5 in the Warriors’ last game. Until we see Steph get back to his old self, he’s too risky of an over bet at this number.
Donovan Mitchell OVER 25.5 Points (-115)
Donovan Mitchell has been red hot since returning from his concussion, posting 27 and 32 points in his last two games while shooting an impressive 21-for-36 from the field.
Mitchell had put up three 30-point games in the five games before he was injured, and he’s averaging 25.7 points per game this season.
The Warriors’ No. 1 defense is a little scary for this prop, but with Andre Iguodala and Draymond Green out and Kevon Looney questionable, I like Mitchell to stay hot on Wednesday.
