HOU Rockets - LA Lakers

As I go against the Memphis tonight with another team from the league's elite. Warriors 17-2 when Curry and Butler play together and both will be on the roster. I am hoping for full concentration as I bet on them to be higher in the standings than Memphis. Grizzlies, on the other hand, are currently driving in reverse, having lost 7 out of their last 8 games and looking pitiful against the league's best, only managing to beat contenders and usually losing by a significant margin. Last night they lost by 14 to Boston and Brown didn't even play, and this has been the story throughout the season. The back-to-back situation is not helping the Grizzlies either. I predict a win for GS by 10 or more points.

Curry is not playing very effectively after the injury, but the level of opponents is not asking for it. Tonight is a more serious match, an important match for the standings, and I'm waiting for a better version of Steph. The Grizzlies defense at the moment is weak, they haven't been able to stop small guards lately and that is a big plus for a better like Curry, who is a great shooter. I think even Steph himself has marked this match on his calendar, because in late December, he played perhaps the worst game of his career in this arena. When he scored only 2 points in a 51-point loss, stars like him definitely remember things like that, especially against a team that has been one of the Warriors' biggest rivals in the NBA for the past few years. I'm expecting an explosive performance from Curry.

As for the bet, the interesting thing is the "player statistics" where 24+ points give odds of 1.83, but 23.5 over is at 1.80. I think it's worth trying under 30 points.
