And with Golden State staring down a five-game losing streak, I expect Steve Kerr to give his best player plenty of run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with his reduced role, Curry has cleared or came close to this line often:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>24+ points in 6\/15 games (two games with 23 points)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>23+ points in 6\/8 games where he&#8217;s played 30+ minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nuggets lack depth and are a mediocre defensive team, sitting 19th in defensive rating (114.2) while allowing the 10th-most 3s per game (13.8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I expect Curry to comfortably clear this mark as long as he plays north of 30 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Denver allows the 10th most PPG to opposing point guards, per Fantays Pros. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Jokic under 1.5 threes<\/strong> (-103):<\/strong> Fading Jokic while he&#8217;s shooting a career-best 50.8% from deep might seem ill-advised, but I think it makes sense here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MVP frontrunner has cleared this mark in 10 of 15 games but he&#8217;s also finished with exactly two 3s on five occasions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Jokic is only attempting 4.3 threes a night, so he&#8217;ll have to remain hyper-efficient to clear this number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Warriors are the league&#8217;s best 3-point defending team \u2014 holding opponents to a 32.7% rate \u2014 but are the worst at containing the midrange. Opponents are shooting 46.3% from that area of the court, which is the highest in the NBA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Denver&#8217;s offensive game plan should focus on Jokic getting inside and doing damage off the pick-and-roll, not from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jokic has gone under this number in five of his last seven against the Warriors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 12:05 p.m. ET 12\/03\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve got prop bets on Steph Curry and Nikola Jokic when the Denver Nuggets host the Golden State Warriors tonight.
