Perhaps the most intriguing playoffs of the NBA is the last of the first weekend.
Steph Curry and the Warriors advanced through the game tournament and the next confrontation of the seeds No. 2, however, the Warriors are the favorites of the series -175.
I totally disagree with this evaluation, since I think Golden State is too limited offensively. Curry is obviously a great all time and could win this series, but I finally believe that his support cast is too weak.
Drayond Green, Gary Payton II, Moses Moody, Kevon Looney and even Jimmy Butler have too many weaknesses. Curry will consume the Houston approach, but the lack of surrounding fire will allow the defense to make enough to contain the sniper.
I like rockets to cover as favorites at home of 1 point on Sunday in game 1.
Houston has an elite defender in Amen Thompson, and the 6 -foot 7 wing could make Curry’s life difficult. At his last regular season meeting, Thompson helped keep Curry three points in the shooting of 1 of 10.
Betting on the NBA?
Rockets also have physical Dillon Brooks as an option, and will probably feel uncomfortable, since Curry is fighting a thumb injury in their correct shot hand.
A concern are Houston’s offensive limitations, given that occupies the 17th position in efficiency. The Warriors are 16, but Curry’s presence changes everything. In my eyes, Houston should be fine. IME UDOKA is an elite coach and has had several days to plan accordingly.
In addition, Fred Vanvleet lost more than a month with an injury, but since then he has returned and all the alignment is healthy. I trust that Uudoka press the right buttons to extract the clean offensive without sacrificing its defensive tactics that will focus on the curry.
I have a 37-26-1 ATS record in the post Sports section, and my next official work is Houston as a small favorite of the house.
