Klay Thompson's Player Prop Projections Suggest He Will Go Off Tonight
Superstar Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson has been making news this past weekend, due to his bitter feud with the Memphis Grizzlies and Dillon Brooks. And while the Grizzlies had the wood over Thompson and the Warriors on Saturday night, our NBA predictions model has identified a huge bounce back spot for the four-time champion when he suits up against the Houston Rockets tonight.

Klay Thompson Predicted Points vs. Rockets Tonight
With a points prop line set by DraftKings Sportsbook of 21.5 points, our DimersBOT NBA predictions model is anticipating the prolific SG to obliterate the line set by the 'books, with 26 points projected against the Rockets in Houston on Monday night.
This will be the second time that Thompson faces off against the Rockets this season, tallying 40+ points on both occasions, with 41 and 42 points respectively, the second of which included 13 three-pointers.
Despite a rather lean couple of games in which he has failed to reach 20 points in his past three games, which included a bad night against the Grizzlies on Saturday in which he was humbled with just 14 points, our data model expects the 33-year-old to bounce back tonight.
Klay Thompson's last two games vs. Rockets:
DATE | POINTS SCORED |
November 20, 2022 | 41 Points |
February 24, 2023 | 42 Points |
