Check out Brad’s BEST PICKS, including his $19 PICK OF THE DAY!
Draymond Green Over 9.5 Points
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is averaging 9.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game over 47 games this season. He has been efficient from the field, shooting 42.8%, and contributes defensively with averages of 1.3 steals and 1.0 block per game. This season, Green has demonstrated versatility in his playmaking abilities, often facilitating the Warriors' offense and mentoring younger players like Jonathan Kuminga. Draymond Green has scored double-digit points in seven of his last 10 games. As the season has gone on, he's been utilized more and more, and I don't see that stopping with the recent success of the Warriors.
Cameron Johnson Over 3.5 Rebounds
Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson is averaging 18.8 points and 4.1 rebounds per game over 45 games this season. In his most recent game on March 4, 2025, Johnson contributed 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist in 31 minutes against the San Antonio Spurs. Cameron Johnson has secured four or more rebounds in seven of his last 10 games. He has a favorable matchup going against this Warriors team who are giving up 53.1 rebounds per game to opposing teams, which is well above the league average. With Cam Thomas back in the lineup, it will relieve some of the scoring pressures off of Johnson's back, which will result in him affecting the games in other ways.
Brandin Podziemski Over 12.5 Points
Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski is averaging 10.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game over 49 games in the 2024-25 NBA season. He has been efficient from the field, shooting 42.7%, and contributes defensively with averages of 1.1 steals and 0.2 blocks per game. Podziemski is coming off back-to-back games where he scored 19 points, and he's turning into a solid weapon for this Warriors team. I expect him to have a solid night against the Brooklyn Nets, who will have their attention on guys like Butler and Curry, which will open things up for Podziemski.
