In their most recent head-to-head matchup on April 1, Curry dropped 52 points (12-of-20 from 3-point range) and finished two assists shy of a triple-double in a road win.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Bulls are 3-0 SU against the Heat this season despite being the underdogs in each of those games. Chicago is only 18-23 at home, but an April push (6-1 overall this month) led to a home play-in game.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sacramento has the worst ATS record of all the postseason teams (34-44-4). But the Kings are 3-0 SU and 2-0-1 ATS against the Mavericks this season.
