They went on to lose that game in Houston by 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Butler returned for Game 4, however, scoring 27 points and leading Golden State to a 109-106 win. This series is notably different when he&#8217;s involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Warriors went 23-7 with Butler in the lineup during the regular season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They are 3-0 in this series when Butler plays the full game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Butler is on the injury report, listed as probable, so I&#8217;m not worried about his availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t hate Golden State&#8217;s chances of leaving Houston with the series win, but this spread gives us a huge cushion on the away side in case the Rockets squeak one out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:113251\">Embed: #113251<\/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>Sengun 10+ rebounds <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>(-215):<\/strong> The Rockets&#8217; big man has been a consistent force on the boards in this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He cleared this total in three of four games, finishing with nine in the outlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It isn&#8217;t very surprising considering the Warriors run Draymond Green a lot at centre. An elite defender, no doubt, but at 6-foot-6, he gives up five inches to Sengun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Containing opposing bigs has been a problem all season long for Golden State. It gave up the third-most rebounds to centres per game (16.32) during the regular season, per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sengun should see a lot of run in this must-win game, which means more opportunities for rebounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s averaging 11.5 boards so far in the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Curry over 5.5 assists<\/strong> (-110):<\/strong> Curry has had mixed results against this line in this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s 2-2 on this wager, finishing with nine assists twice and three assists in the other two games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I am interested in, though, is his 11.3 potential assists per game. That stat tracks every pass Curry makes that leads directly to a shot for a teammate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s also playing north of 39 minutes a night, so he should easily get over 10 potential assists again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that case, it&#8217;s on the other Warriors, and I have increased confidence in them with Butler in the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Warriors vs. Rockets predictions made at 9:35 a.m. ET 04\/30\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Golden State Warriors look to wrap up their series with the Houston Rockets.
