Best NBA Prop Bets Today

• Stephen Curry 5+ 3-Pointers Made (+115)
• Desmond Bane OVER 17.5 Points (-120)
• Pat Connaughton OVER 1.5 3-Pointers Made (-130)

Stephen Curry 5+ 3-Pointers Made (+115)

First, this is Steph Curry we’re talking about. He’s going to take and make a lot of 3-pointers. 

Secondly, Curry has hit this line in three of his last five games. He had a slow start and a suspect finish and still ended with five treys in Game 1. With Draymond Green going to be there to set him up and with a bit of a better start to the game, Curry can easily hit five 3-balls.

He’s shooting over 40% from 3 in these playoffs. WIth over 10 attempts per game, the math just works out that Curry is set to go off and be near this line every night. – Donnavan Smoot

Desmond Bane OVER 17.5 Points (-120)

While I don’t think Memphis wins this game, I’m all-in on a Desmond Bane bounce-back game, even though he is questionable with a back injury. 

Bane has been on fire as of late, clearing this number in six of his last 10 games, and he’s averaging 21.4 points per game in the playoffs on 15.1 shots per game (8.6 3-point attempts per contest). 

Bane took just 10 shots in Game 1, and he had his worst shooting performance of the playoffs, going 1-for-5 from beyond the arc. 

The Warriors’ defense allowed too many easy baskets for Ja Morant inside, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they collapsed on him a bit more in Game 2, leaving Bane open for some catch-and-shoot opportunities. – Peter Dewey

Pat Connaughton OVER 1.5 3-Pointers Made (-130)

Boston may not have won Game 1, but their defense in the half court ended up being very good despite the loss.

Still, the Milwaukee Bucks attempted 34 3-pointers in the game (4.3 below their season average) and will likely end up shooting more if Game 2 ends up being closer.

Connaughton should see more minutes tonight and get back to firing consistently from 3-point range in the process. Through the postseason, he's attempted at least six 3-pointers in every game but two.

Plus, he's showing signs of warming up, shooting 66.7% and 50% in his last two games from downtown. -- Ben Heisler
