Over/Under – Points S. Curry (GSW)

  • Over (27.5) -119
  • Under (27.5) -109

The Over is favored for Curry’s total points likely due to the big night Curry is expected to have. However, Curry’s scoring has been on a downswing in recent games.

Curry scored 26 against the Indiana Pacers, 18 against the Philadelphia 76ers, and 22 against the Portland Trail Blazers in his last three outings.

The Knicks have a defensive rating of just 110.8, however, and Curry was torching the league prior to the last three games.

Over/Under – Three-Point Field Goals Made S. Curry (GSW)

  • Over (5.5) -112
  • Under (5.5) -115

The Under is favored at NBA sportsbooks likely due to Curry’s recent outings. Steph hit five threes against the Pacers and just three against the 76ers. In The matchup against the Blazers Curry made six threes, however.

Curry only needs two threes to break the record, so it is understandable to assume that he won’t be jacking up as many shots as he has in the last few games as he aimed to break it. On the other hand, Curry does perform well at Madison Square Garden.

Curry averages 25.2 PPG, 6.0 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game against the Knicks for his career. The two-time MVP also shoots 48.2% from three against the Knicks. With the odds for the Over set low, betting fans may want to jump on them.
