3 Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Warriors vs. Trail Blazers (Portland's Perimeter Defense Needs Work)
By Matt De Saro
The Golden State Warriors are on the road tonight against a Portland Trail Blazers team that GSW matches up very well against.
Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this showdown, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.
3 Best Prop Bets for Warriors vs. Trail Blazers
- Steph Curry OVER 4.5 Threes Made (+120)
- Steph Curry OVER 3.5 Turnovers (+130)
- Klay Thompson OVER 2.5 Threes Made (-155)
Steph Curry OVER 4.5 Threes Made (+120)
Curry has been shooting very well from behind the arc of late. And no, I am not counting his 16-for-27 game from downtown at the All-Star Game. Though, that was pretty insane. But even before Sunday night, Curry was racking up a lot of deep balls including an 8-for-13 performance against the Clippers last Monday.
Another reason I like Curry, and Klay, in this game, is that the Blazers are one of the worst teams in the league at defending the perimeter at 29th overall.
Steph Curry OVER 3.5 Turnovers (+130)
When I expect a player to see extra action on a given night, I like to go over their turnover props. So far it’s been profitable, but I am going out on a limb here to grab some juicy plus money odds with Curry 2x in one game.
Curry, as do most point guards, leads the Warriors in turnovers with an average of 3.2 per game. What makes this spot interesting is that whenever Curry goes OVER his 3s made total, there is a good chance he goes over his turnover prop too.
In the last four games, Curry has gone OVER the total of his 3, he has gone OVER his turnover prop total in three of them.
Klay Thompson OVER 2.5 Threes Made -165
Consider this the “safe bet” of the night with Thompson expected to tear up the Blazers' weak perimeter defense. Thompson has gone OVER this total in all but one game this month and five of his last six.
The Blazers allow opposing teams to shoot over 37 percent from downtown and I expect Thompson to get his tonight.
