If you’re looking at Week 1 of the NBA and struggling to find your bet, we’ve got you covered. Not only do we have this SGP, but we also have a Parlay that covers 5 games from Week 1.
However, if you’re looking for something certain to bet on, it’s Steph Curry hitting 3’s and the Warriors making some big wins. Here’s our SGP on the Warriors vs Trail Blazers game.
Golden State Warriors Moneyline
The Warriors are the only team that went undefeated in the preseason. With 6 games and 6 wins under their belt, Golden State have put themselves as the team to beat heading into the regular season. Although the Warriors lost one of their strongest players in the off-season, Klay Thompson, they have performed very well and continued to dominate by putting their focus on their star player Steph Curry.
With the 3-point becoming such a large part of modern Basketball, the Warriors have decided to capitalise on this to add diversity to their roster and make defending them extremely difficult. In preseason, the Warriors cam out flying and hit 28 threes against the Kings, showcasing where their focus has been in the off-season.
By having this skill in the bag, it makes defending extremely hard as the opposing team must leave the interior defence slightly exposed – which is where players like Draymond Green come in handy for the post play.
Although the Blazers have performed very well in preseason, winning 3 out of 4 games, they still don’t show the same skill and dominance that the Warriors can put out on back-to-back games.
The Warriors are currently -235 to beat the Blazers on Wednesday.
Steph Curry to score 20+ Points
Steph Curry has quickly cemented himself as the player to watch this season. We thought he may struggle without the support of Klay but he has continued to show he is one of the best in the league, even in heading into his 16th season.
Steph has averaged over 20+ Points a season for the last 12 years. Putting up 20 points a night is light work for Curry. As this will be the opening match for Curry, we can expect him to do his best to impress and put up some big numbers.
Last year, Curry put up 27 points in his opening match of the season. The year before he put up 33 points in 33 minutes. As he is the main focus of the team this year, we can expect him to put up similar numbers on Wednesday.
Steph Curry is currently -600 to score 20+ Points.
Steph Curry 4+ Made Threes
Following on from our second leg, we can expect Curry to put up at least 4 threes on Wednesday.
Steph’s main form of getting points is through the 3 point shot. If he hit 4 threes, this would equate to 12 points of the 20+ we are expecting – which is very doable for the best shooter in the league.
Steph Curry is currently -250 to make 4+ Threes.
Draymond Green to Record 6+ Rebounds
Questions have been asked around Draymond Green for years, and his effectiveness on the Warriors. Although he may be getting old, and his athleticism is dropping he has played a key role on the Warriors roster for years.
Green averaged 7.2 RPG last season, and although this isn’t up there with the likes of Sabonis, Gobert and Davis – it still shows he is effective in the paint.
In the last 3 seasons, Draymond has averaged exactly 6 Rebounds in his opening games.
Draymond Green is currently -260 to record 6+ Rebounds.
Jonathan Kuminga to Record 2+ Assists
For the last leg of our parlay, we’re looking at Jonathan Kuminga, a key roleplayer for the Warriors. Kuminga averaged 2.2 APG last season, and we can expect him to facilitate a few points heading into the Warriors’ opener.
Jonathan Kuminga is currently -330 to record 2+ Assists.
