Rockets vs Warriors could be the 2nd series in the opening round to go 7 games after the Clippers took care of the Nuggets last night. After a Rockets beatdown in Game 5 that featured head coach Steve Kerr pulling his starters halfway through the 3rd quarter and not returning even with the Warriors down as little as 13, Jimmy Butler and company should be rested and ready to go. Let’s dive into my best NBA player prop bet for Rockets vs Warriors on Friday, May 2, while you can also find out our expert NBA picks for EVERY game in the playoffs.

Best NBA player prop bet: Draymond Green (GSW) Under 10.5 rebounds+assists (+105)
Odds available at DraftKings & BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Viewers have gotten the complete package of Draymond Green through 6 games. The saga was fully displayed in Game 4 with his plethora of personal, technical and flagrant fouls. Most importantly, his top-tier defense on one of the best big men in the game, Alperen Sengun. He showcased why he’s one of the best defenders of his generation with a game-winning defensive stop in Game 4. But heading into Game 6, we’re taking the under on his rebounds+assists prop at 10.5.
Green has his hands full on defense against Sengun while seeing fewer assist opportunities with Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler and even Brandin Podziemski taking up the usage. His assist prop is sitting at just 3.5 — the lowest mark of the series thus far.
Unders have been printing for us throughout this postseason. A slower pace, intense defense and more opportunities for star players have me looking to fade role players whose roles shrink in the postseason. Green may not fit that mold exactly, but with the way the Rockets are defending him on offense while having the toughest assignment on defense, this is a great spot to fade the future Hall of Famer.
