Welcome back to another monkey knife fight plays article

ARTICLE RECAP: Had my first day of 0/2 Kawhi bubbled by one FG and Embiid went over by 2 rebounds.

Favorite Plays

Draymond Green OVER 6.5 assists: With no Durant there should be less iso ball so more room for assists for Green. With Durant off the court the Warriors average 10.7 iso’s per 100 possession compared to 14.6 iso’s per 100 possessions. Green always has an amazing first half with assists and then seems to go quiet in the second half. This is due to Durant’s takeover in the second half from iso ball. It’s not a surprise when Durant’s scoring goes up Green’s assists go down. I’m expecting the all movement to be much better tonight. With the extra passing with Durant off the floor I’m expecting an overall increase in team assists, which will lead to more assists to Green who is already averaging 8.4 assists this series. Lock in the rapidfire Draymond Green over Chris Paul who currently has a +.5 advantage over Paul. I’ll take Green up to 7.5 assists.

Steph Curry OVER 30.5 scoring prop: With Boogie and Durant now out it’s all on the shoulders of Curry and Thompson to pick up the slack. Curry did just that after Durant got hurt Curry went off for 16 points in 14 minutes of play. He shot 5 of 9 during this period and got to the free throw line twice. He will be the primary scorer in this game and the load will be on his shoulders for sure to carry them through this series. Curry is averaging 1 point per minute this season with Durant and Cousins off the floor and I’m expecting 40+ minutes out of him tonight with the lack of depth on this team. As long as he is shooting well this prop should hit.
