Two perennial Western Conference contenders clash as Denver visits the Bay Area to face Golden State. With both clubs fielding their core players, expect a battle of star power, pace, and three-point shot volume. Here are four player-prop angles to watch closely.
Prop #1 – Nikola Jokić (Nuggets) Over 28.5 Points
Jokić remains the foundational piece of the Nuggets’ offence — whether facilitating or scoring. He’s projected to start and lead Denver’s attack. The Warriors’ defensive assignments have historically struggled to fully limit Jokić’s scoring threats.
Tip:
Bet Jokic Over 28.5 Points
Tip: Jokic over 28.5 points
- Denver primary scorer
-
Creates own offense
-

Prop #2 – Stephen Curry (Warriors) Over 4.5 Made 3-Pointers
Golden State continues to emphasize spacing and outside shooting, and Curry remains the chief operator. In a matchup where the Nuggets will try to contest from deep and the Warriors will push pace, Curry should be afforded multiple deep looks.
Tip:
Bet Curry over 4.5 Made Threes
Tip: Curry over 4.5 made threes
- Unguardable
-
Floor Spacing is key
-
Warriors will push pace

Prop #3 – Jimmy Butler (Warriors) Over 18.5 Points
Butler, newly in the Warriors rotation, is settling into a prominent scoring role. With Denver needing to defend heavily, Butler’s experience and ability to create quality shots make him a strong candidate to exceed his point expectation tonight.

Bet Butler Over 18.5 Points

Prop #4 – Aaron Gordon (Nuggets) Under 7.5 Assists
While Gordon is an impactful two-way forward, his assist numbers traditionally sit below elite playmaker levels. In this matchup, with the Nuggets likely leaning on Jokić and Murray for creation, Gordon may operate more as a scorer and defender than a facilitator — making the under on assists an appealing angle.
Tip:
Bet Gordon under 7.5 assists
Tip: Gordon under 7.5 assists
- Two-way forward

Final Thoughts
Expect a high-octane affair between two deep playoff-caliber rosters. The key prop values here come down to recognized stars doing what they do best: Jokić generating points, Curry converting deep looks, Butler stepping up his scoring role, and Gordon maintaining a more defined role rather than leading in assists. Do monitor any late injury or rotation updates before locking in your bets.
Play responsibly and good luck.
