The Golden State Warriors will open up their NBA Finals repeat campaign on Saturday with a matchup against the Sacramento Kings, who overcame the odds to win their division and earn the third seed in the Western Conference.
Unfortunately, Sacramento's reward for that feat is this matchup with the Warriors and Steph Curry, who had an amazing playoffs effort last year to guide Golden State toward another NBA title.
The Action Labs model projections are active with a number of projected edges on Curry's prop lines for Saturday's game, featuring 8-of-10 grades.
Read on to see where we're projecting value ahead of the contest.
Steph Curry Player Props, Picks
*Odds and projections as of Saturday afternoon
When Curry takes the court, there is always an expectation that he is going to produce points. However, our projections see better value in Curry's abilities outside of scoring.
The biggest edge on the board, per our model projections, is in relation to Butler's rebounds + assists total, which is listed at 12.5 at BetMGM with a price of +105 on the over. Our projections list the expected total at 13.7, earning this side an 8/10 grade.
Additionally, Curry's assist total of 6.5 has a +110 price on the over at DraftKings, and our projections place him at an estimated 7.1. This wager also has a grade of 8/10.
Similarly, Curry's rebound total of 5.5 at DraftKings is listed at -136 toward the over, but our projections have Curry at 6.6. Once again, this is graded at 8/10.
