With the series tied 1-1, the Golden State Warriors return home to host the Houston Rockets in Game 3 on Saturday night. After splitting the two games in Houston, the Warriors will lean heavily on their superstar Stephen Curry, especially with Jimmy Butler’s status uncertain due to a pelvic contusion.
Curry has been steady through the first two games of the series, and with Golden State looking to regain control, his offensive production will be crucial.
Here’s the featured Curry prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Saturday’s Game 3:
Best Stephen Curry Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Stephen Curry Over 27.5 Points (-110)
Curry scored 31 points in Game 1 and followed it up with 20 points, five rebounds and nine assists in Game 2. Without Butler for most of Game 2, Curry was tasked with more of the playmaking burden, but Game 3 offers a prime bounce-back opportunity for him as a scorer.
The Warriors’ offense struggled without Butler’s presence, becoming overly reliant on perimeter shooting. Returning home to Chase Center, Golden State is likely to recalibrate and put Curry in better scoring situations.
As Curry noted when discussing Butler’s injury, pain tolerance will determine Butler’s availability, but regardless, Curry’s scoring load is expected to increase.
“The last one I had was just a contusion, and that is just a pain-tolerance thing,” Curry said. “You could play through that eventually.”
Facing a Houston defense that allowed Curry to get rolling in Game 1, he will be looking to set the tone early in Game 3. The Rockets made defensive adjustments in Game 2, but Curry’s ability to counter at home makes this prop line an attractive option.
As the Warriors try to take a 2-1 series lead, expect Curry to step up offensively and put up a strong scoring performance to set the tone.
