Alright, let’s dive into those high-scoring guards for tonight’s slate. I’ve been tracking odds movements, and a couple of names stand out for player performance bets, especially on points.
First, Darius Garland’s line at 18.5 points feels like a steal. The books are cautious because of his recent injury, but he’s been practicing fully, and against Miami this season, he’s dropped 21 and 27 points on solid efficiency. The matchup favors him too—Heat’s backcourt defense has been shaky, and Garland thrives in transition. Projections I’m seeing hover around 20.3 points, so the over here has nice value, especially at -110 on some books.
Then there’s Steph Curry, sitting at 27.5 points. Sharp money’s been pushing this up from 26.5, and for good reason. Game 7 vibes always bring out vintage Steph—he’s averaging 32.6 points in these spots historically, and that 50-point masterclass in 2023 against Sacramento is still fresh. Houston’s perimeter defense isn’t locking anyone down, and with a thumb issue not slowing him much, I’m leaning over. Books like DraftKings have the over at -113, but shop around; I saw -108 on FanDuel earlier.
Jalen Green’s another one to watch, but I’m hesitant. His postseason’s been rough, and while projections are optimistic at 19-21 points, the odds on his 20.5 over feel too tight at -120. Houston’s offense can stall in big moments, and Green’s streaky. I’d rather fade him unless the line drops to 19.5.
Odds are shifting fast, so check closer to tip-off. I’m locking in Garland and Curry overs now before the books adjust. Who else you guys eyeing for those clutch stat lines?
