3 Bold Predictions for Steph Curry in Warriors vs. Rockets

Steph Curry is among the favorites to win the MVP award this season at WynnBET (second at +550), and he’s going to get a chance to further his campaign against the 1-8 Houston Rockets on Sunday. 

WynnBET has the Golden State Warriors as 12.5-point favorites in this game, but how do oddsmakers think Curry will perform? 

Let’s get into some bold predictions for Curry against Houston: 

Bold Predictions for Steph Curry vs. Rockets

• Steph Curry UNDER 30.5 Points (-115)
• Steph Curry OVER 5.5 Rebounds (-130)
• Steph Curry UNDER 36.5 Points and Assists (-108)

Steph Curry UNDER 30.5 Points (-115)

Curry led the NBA in scoring last season, and oddsmakers haven’t adjusted his lines this year to reflect a slower start in the scoring department (25.8 points per game). 

The two-time MVP has gone over 30 points just twice this season and has failed to reach 20 points in back-to-back games coming into Sunday. It’s hard to fade Curry because of his ability to get red hot at any moment, but I think this line is a bit inflated against a Rockets team that has the 15th-best defensive rating in the NBA. 

Steph Curry OVER 5.5 Rebounds (-130)

Steph is averaging 7.0 rebounds per game this season (which would be a career-high) and he’s only grabbed less than 5.5 rebounds in two of the Warriors’ eight games this season. 

Houston has the third-worst offensive rating in the NBA, so there should be plenty of opportunities for Curry to get on the glass against this young Rockets team. 

Steph Curry UNDER 36.5 Points and Assists (-108)

Curry has gone over this total just three times this season, and since I’m fading him as a scorer, I’ll fade him in this prop too. 

Steph is averaging 6.8 assists per game, but he’s either needed 10 assists or 30-plus points in all three of the games that he’s hit the over on this number. This game could be a blowout, which would lead to Steph sitting in garbage time, so I’ll fade this inflated prop as well.
