NBA Betting Picks: Steph Curry’s Prop & Rockets Aim for Upset

Peter’s Points: NBA Betting Picks for Monday

Last week saw improvement in the betting column, now just below .500 for the season. This week presents challenges with a tricky Monday slate.

Many teams are on the second half of back-to-back games, and Steph Curry is listed as questionable. Due to this unpredictability, I’m focusing on two half-unit plays instead of forcing more bets.

Betting Picks

1. Steph Curry OVER 10.5 Rebounds and Assists (+100)

Curry is questionable for the game against the Los Angeles Clippers, but he has been strong in this stat category. He averages 5.1 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game, exceeding 10.5 in five of his nine games, including the last three. The Warriors have been sharing the ball well, so I believe this line should be higher. Take the over bet at even money.

2. Houston Rockets +3.5 (-112) vs. Milwaukee Bucks

I have doubts about the Milwaukee Bucks as favorites. They are struggling, with a record of 4-8-1 against the spread this season and a recent loss to the Charlotte Hornets. In contrast, the Houston Rockets are off to a good start at 10-4 and 9-5 against the spread. Despite Lillard’s return for the Bucks, their offensive inconsistency raises concerns. Houston ranks high in defensive performance, making them a solid bet as underdogs in this matchup.
