Take a look at his averages in that scenario:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>23.5 points<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>48.6 FG%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>39.1 3PT%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s hyper-efficient, so this leg will come down to volume. But Leonard should be the No. 1 option when the Clippers need a bucket today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Curry under 25.5 points<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> (-106):<\/strong> It feels wrong to fade Curry as a scorer, but there are two reasons for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Curry is listed as questionable after suffering a thumb sprain on Friday. He managed to return in that game but was held to 14 points on 6-of-14 shooting (2-of-8 from deep).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Clippers are an elite defensive team, owning the third-best defensive rating (112.2).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I fully expect Curry to suit up for this must-win game, but I expect he&#8217;ll be limited once again by the lingering thumb issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for the superstar guard to tap into his playmaking roots while leaving the majority of the scoring to Golden State&#8217;s secondary options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Clippers vs. Warriors predictions made at 10:50 a.m. ET 04\/13\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most important game in the NBA on the final day of the regular season is between the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors.
