The NBA is slate is six games deep so we’re not looking at a ton of action tonight. But, here’s the thing, we don’t need a ton of action to get down. NBA TV is throwing us the Bucks-Hornets at 7:00pm ET and TNT has the Mavericks-Warriors at 9:30pm ET. It’s pretty much like a normal night when all things are considered. Plus, the Mavericks-Warriors game is prime for a same game parlay! There are way too many stars running around the court on a nationally televised game to take a pass. Especially when you consider all of these options.
After you are done with this article, don’t forget to check out our full game preview for picks on the side and total.
Golden State Warriors ML (-130)
Draymond Green to record 10+ assists (+120)
Stephen Curry to record 5.5+ made threes (-125)
Andrew Wiggins Under 19.5 points (-116)
Parlay odds: +1096

Golden State Warriors ML (-130)
The Mavericks just aren’t playing good ball at the moment and they are in line to get rolled tonight. They are a joke defensively at this point. Over the last 10 games, only six teams are worse in terms of defensive efficiency. We’re talking the Timberwolves, Magic, Rockets and Thunder type bad. That’s not a great place to be when you are facing the Warriors who can score on anyone. On top of that, Golden State is the NBA’s best defense in terms of efficiency over the last 10 games. The Warriors should win this one.
Draymond Green to record 10+ assists (+120)
DeDe is a dime machine at this point. Over the last two games, he’s dropped 32 assists going into double digits in both. In two games against the Mavericks this season, he dished out 15 helpers in each. The man knows his role and he does it well. The Mavericks are third best in the NBA in opponent assists per field goal made but they are obviously not Draymond Green proof. Look for Green to cross into double digits in the assist category tonight.
Stephen Curry to record 5.5+ made threes (-125)
There is nobody on the planet that can stop Steph Curry other than Steph Curry. It sounds crazy to back a guy to hit at least six trays in a game but when looking at his game log, it’s not. Curry has attempted double digit threes in every game in April except one. He took nine that night. Curry has hit six threes in six of his last nine games. He’s hit double digit threes in four of his last eight. Any way you look at it, Curry is unconscious at the moment. Just ride the wave.
Andrew Wiggins Under 19.5 points (-116)
You have to wonder at this juncture if Wiggins will never be a thing. Whether that’s fair or not, this point prop is just too high for bettors to get behind. Can he score 20 or more points tonight? Of course. But he could also fall short of 20 just like he has in his last four games. In those four games, he’s take as few as 11 shots and as many as 20. Nothing seems to work for Wiggins. Sure he could get hot but it’s more likely that he hovers in the mid-teens again tonight.
