For context, the Warriors and Rockets played around a 99-possession pace during the regular season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between this teams.

He only played 23 minutes in one of the outliers and took just 13 shots (scoring 17 points) in the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can&#8217;t imagine a scenario where either of those happens in Game 7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curry will be playing max minutes and firing at will, and is also going up against a team which allowed the most PPG to point guards this season, per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has reached this milestone in 22 of his last 25 playoff games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>VanVleet 2+ threes<\/strong> (-480):<\/strong> I was debating taking VanVleet 3+ threes \u2014 which would bring this wager from +290 to +440 \u2014 but am opting for some safety with this heavily-juiced leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you can make a strong argument to take on more risk, because the PG&#8217;s performance has been night-and-day since Game 3:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Game 1-3:<\/strong> 11.3 PPG, 20.7 3PT% (6-of-29)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Game 4-6:<\/strong> 26.7 PPG, 66.7 3PT% (18-of-27)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>VanVleet has hit three-plus 3s in four straight games, logging six, four, and eight in his last three outings. He&#8217;s attempting 9.3 threes per game, so this should be a cinch even if he has an awful shooting night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Butler 6+ rebounds<\/strong> (-182):<\/strong> Butler has been right around this line all series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has five-plus boards in every contest (excluding Game 2, where he left early with an injury), going 2-2 against this line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting Draymond Green at the No. 5 makes Golden State an undersized group. That helps Houston rebound, but it also affords opportunities to the 6-foot-7 Butler, who plays with a dogged determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Butler had a series-high nine rebounds in Game 6, and I expect him to build off that on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Warriors vs. Rockets predictions made at 10:00 a.m. ET 05\/04\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Houston Rockets host the Golden State Warriors on Sunday in a winner-take-all Game 7.
