That marks seven consecutive unders when Houston and Golden State square off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It makes sense, given that both teams ranked inside the top eight in scoring defence and defensive rating during the regular season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The average point total in their eight head-to-head meetings is 200.8 points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Houston and Golden State have now gone seven consecutive games in which one or both teams finished below 100 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the playoffs, the Warriors&#8217; defence ranks third in steals per game and opponent points on fast breaks. The Rockets&#8217; defensive strength has been clogging the paint, where they&#8217;re allowing the second-fewest points of any playoff team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:113088\">Embed: #113088<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/basketball\/nba?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Full NBA betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nba-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/top-players?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA stats &amp; standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>Curry 25+ points <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>(-186):<\/strong> Curry has been superb in this series, cresting the 30-point mark twice in three games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Houston is typically one of the best 3-point defences in the league &#8230; but Curry is no average foe. He&#8217;s 14-of-31 from deep and should continue firing from the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curry&#8217;s 24.5 PPG scoring average this year was his lowest in a full season since 2014-15. But he knows how to turn it up in the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Over his past 16 playoff games \u2014 dating back to 2023 \u2014 Curry is averaging 30.2 PPG. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He has 25+ points in 13 of those 16 matchups.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Butler&#8217;s potential return could mean fewer shooting opportunities, but I still expect Curry to reach this milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his past 25 games alongside Butler, Curry is averaging 26.5 PPG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Butler 4+ assists<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> (-435):<\/strong> I considered playing Butler over 5.5 assists as a straight wager. This dumbed-down milestone should be comfortably attainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prior to going down with an injury in Game 2, Butler had averaged 5.9 APG with the Warriors in 31 games. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>During his regular-season tenure with Golden State, Butler led the team in assists (5.9\/game) and potential assists (12.6).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Butler had 4+ assists in 27 of 31 games when healthy for the Warriors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>He may have the nickname &#8220;Jimmy Buckets,&#8221; but Butler is more than capable of swinging to an open teammate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thompson 10+ points (-235):<\/strong> Thompson made strides across the board in his sophomore season as he took more ownership within the Rockets&#8217; offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s still not an outside scoring threat, but he&#8217;s always in play for 10 or more points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Thompson has 30 points in this series, going 2-1 against this line. He missed out in the series opener with eight points on nine shots (uncharacteristically going 0-for-4 from the free-throw line).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Since the start of the season, Thompson has 10+ points in 6 of 8 meetings with the Warriors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Last time out, Thompson was just 5-of-16 from the floor and finished with 11 points. I&#8217;m choosing to take that shot volume as a positive moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thompson averaged 14.1 PPG during the regular season and had a 73.9% hit rate on this milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Rockets vs. Warriors predictions made at 12:10 p.m. ET 04\/28\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Golden State Warriors hope to have Jimmy Butler back tonight to help them stay ahead of the Houston Rockets in their first-round playoff matchup.
