No Draymond, no problem? How to bet Game 3 of Warriors vs. Kings
The NBA Playoffs are rolling, and the Golden State Warriors find themselves facing a surprising 2-0 deficit to the Sacramento Kings. With Draymond Green's suspension looming for Game 3, the Warriors will rely heavily on their other stars - Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins.
While the Warriors are favorites to win the game, you can also net player props in the NBA Playoffs as well. That's what we will focus on here, as our model believes some huge nights are in store for these Warriors stars.

No Draymond Green, no problem?
When Draymond Green and Domantas Sabonis got tangled up, every Warriors fan on the planet shook in fear of what they knew would happen next. Green stomped on Sabonis' chest, leading to an ejection that ultimately swung Game 2 in favor of Sacramento, and now a suspension for Game 3, which really puts the Warriors' backs against the wall.
But this is the reigning NBA champions we are talking about here. They aren't likely to go down easily. And DimersBOT agrees, focusing in on three players in particular to have huge nights stepping up in Green's absence.
Which bets should you make?
Our model has identified two Stephen Curry props with an edge tonight:
BET: Stephen Curry Over 4.5 3-Pointers Made (-125 on DraftKings)
Our Projection: 6.0 Edge: 10.0%
Curry has nine makes in the series so far, but the attempts are eye-catching, he shot 13 threes in Game 2 and 14 threes in Game 1. Expect more tonight.
BET: Stephen Curry Over 30.5 Points (-113 on FanDuel)
Our Projection: 35.1 Edge: 6.2%
With the season in the line, Curry will need more than his 29.5 points per game average through two games in this series. Our model says it will happen.
Our model has identified two Klay Thompson props with an edge tonight:
BET: Klay Thompson Over 23.5 Points (-104 on FanDuel)
Our Projection: 27.5 Edge: 7.0%
Klay has 21 points in both games early in this series. There's always a "Klay game", and what better time than Game 3?
BET: Klay Thompson Over 4.5 3-Pointers Made (-125 on DraftKings)
Our Projection: 5.8 Edge: 8.1%
Despite going Under 23.5 points twice already, he has hit his Over 4.5 3PM in both games already this series. The attempts should only increase.
Our model has identified two Andrew Wiggins props with an edge tonight:
BET: Andrew Wiggins Over 2.5 3-Pointers Made (+145 at BetMGM)
Our Projection: 2.8 Edge: 12.8%
While Wiggins hasn't shot the ball well from deep this series, he has eight attempts from deep in both of his two previous games. If he shoots eight tonight, we like this to go Over.
BET: Andrew Wiggins Over 1.5 Steals (+180 at DraftKings)
Our Projection: 0.9 Edge: 6.7%
How about a plus money prop on the defensive side? Wiggins will need to be even more disruptive than normal defensively tonight with Green out of the lineup.
