The veteran forward came out of the gates firing with a 25-point performance before getting injured in Game 2, which caused him to miss Game 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Butler then returned with a 27-point showing in Game 4 but had just eight points in Houston on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what are we going to get from him? My guess is a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not going to put a ton of stock into Butler&#8217;s Game 5 performance. Golden State was awful as a whole, with Steph Curry scoring just 13 points on 4-of-12 shooting. Butler (25 minutes) and Curry (23 minutes) sat out most of the second half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Kerr and Co. probably want nothing to do with heading back to Houston for Game 7, and I expect Butler to get plenty of run on Friday. He played 40-plus minutes in both games that he cleared this line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curry should also get things going, given that the Rockets allowed the most PPG to point guards this season, according to Fantasy Pros. That should stretch the floor for Butler. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Excluding Game 2, Butler has reached the 20-point milestone in 19 of his last 25 playoff games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Game 6 prop prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Green under 20.5 points and rebounds (-130):<\/strong> Green&#8217;s 38-point outburst in Game 2 looks like a true anomaly. The fourth-year guard is getting his first taste of playoff action and has stunk the joint out in the other four games this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Game 1:<\/strong> 7 points (3-of-15 shooting)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Game 3:<\/strong> 9 points (4-of-11 shooting)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Game 4:<\/strong> 8 points (3-of-8 shooting)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Game 5:<\/strong> 11 points (3-of-8 shooting)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Green hasn&#8217;t been shooting accurately, and now he&#8217;s not even shooting with volume. That seems like a pretty good baseline for a fade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Warriors are running out a small-ball lineup with Butler at power forward and Draymond Green at centre, but that hasn&#8217;t stopped them from feasting on the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golden State was seventh in rebounding rate following Butler&#8217;s acquisition in the regular season. The Dubs also held shooting guards to the 11th-fewest points and seventh-fewest rebounds per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Green is 1-4 against this line in this series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Rockets vs. Warriors prop picks made at 12:00 p.m. ET 05\/02\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Golden State Warriors have another opportunity to close out their series against the Houston Rockets.
