Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets Player Prop Picks 2/13/25 NBA Picks

Amen Thompson Under 17.5 Points

Houston Rockets guard Amen Thompson has demonstrated significant growth in his offensive performance during this NBA season. He’s averaging 13.8 points per game, reflecting an increase from his rookie season average of 9.5 points per game. His shooting efficiency has also improved, with a field goal percentage of 54.6% compared to 53.6% in the previous season. 

I've been impressed with what Thompson has been able to do so far this season but I can't help but take the under on his points in the spot. We've seen him score less than 10 points and three of his last 10 games and his numbers have just been a bit inconsistent. Golden State is only allowing 111.9 points per game to opposing teams which is the 10th-best in the league. I see this being a lower-scoring game.

Buddy Hield Over 13.5 Points

Golden State Warriors guard Buddy Hield has been a consistent offensive contributor during the 2024-25 NBA season. Over 53 games, he is averaging 11.8 points per game, with a field goal percentage of 41.4% and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.0%. Earlier in the season, Hield had a notable stretch where he averaged 21.9 points per game, stepping up in the absence of Stephen Curry due to injury. During this period, he shot 50% from three-point range, significantly contributing to the team's success.

Buddy Hield has been playing some great basketball as of late scoring 14 or more points in his last four games. Steph Curry has been getting a lot of attention which opens things up for Buddy Hield on the perimeter. When he gets hot from the three-point line he could run up the scoreboard.  I'm going to continue to ride this trend until the wheels fall off.

Steph Curry Under 5.5 Assist

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has been a pivotal playmaker during this season. He’s averaging 6.1 assists per game, ranking him 19th in the league. Curry's court vision and passing accuracy have been instrumental in orchestrating the Warriors' offense, facilitating scoring opportunities for his teammates, and maintaining the team's competitive edge.

We've seen Steph Curry be more of a scorer than a facilitator as of late. He's gotten over five assists in only two of his last seven games. He has a tough matchup going against this Houston Rockets team who plays great perimeter defense. The Rockets are only giving up 22.6 assists per game to opposing teams which is the fewest in the league. With the way Curry has been playing and with this being a tough matchup the under on his assist has to be the play.
