Both were played on the road.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, they have been extremely consistent, especially at the Chase Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Warriors are 17-3 at home in the playoffs since 2022.<\/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 over 24.5 points <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>(-139):<\/strong> Curry, much like his team, put up a dud in Game 5, scoring 13 points on 4-of-12 shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He only played 23 minutes in the contest because of the score, so that undoubtedly hindered his production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is, Golden State returns home with another chance to clinch the series. Curry&#8217;s taken part in three home games this postseason:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>April 15 vs. Memphis:<\/strong> 37 points (22 FG attempts)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>April 26 vs. Houston:<\/strong> 36 points (23 FG attempts)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>April 28 vs. Houston:<\/strong> 17 points (13 FG attempts)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a clear outlier in terms of volume, which also led to a much lower point total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering Curry averaged 18.0 field-goal attempts per game this season, I feel comfortable saying that he&#8217;ll take more than 13 shots on Friday with how important the game is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Golden State loses, I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;ll feel good going into Houston on the brink of elimination after Wednesday&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curry has scored 28.6 points per game over his last two playoff runs (18 games).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>VanVleet over 14.5 points<\/strong> (-132):<\/strong> The former NBA Champion is starting to show his value as a playoff performer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After falling short of this mark in the first two games, look how VanVleet has responded in Games 3-5:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>22.7 PPG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>52.5 FG% (55.6 3PT%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3-0 against this wager<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The point guard struggled with his efficiency this season, shooting a woeful 37.8% from the field (34.5% from 3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But VanVleet is heating up when it matters most. He is averaging 9.4 attempted threes per game in this series and has topped 20 points in consecutive outings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although a similar performance wouldn&#8217;t be surprising, we only need 15 for this leg to cash, and that should be attainable with another efficient high-volume shooting night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Rockets vs. Warriors predictions made at 9:35 a.m. ET 05\/02\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Golden State Warriors will look for a bounce-back performance over the Houston Rockets in Game 6.
