Stephen Curry is an attractive scoring option in this matchup. He is averaging 30.6 points per game this season, comfortably above the 26,5 line.
His recent performances provide further encouragement. Curry has scored 41 points against Orlando, 34 against Phoenix, 31 against the Lakers and 29 against Miami in his last five games. He has gone over 26,5 points in four of those five appearances.
Curry continues to be the main scoring engine for Golden State, with his ability to score both from beyond the arc and off the dribble making him difficult to contain. His current scoring form gives him a strong opportunity to reach 27 points or more.
Houston presents a tougher defensive challenge, so Curry will need his usual offensive involvement and sufficient playing time. Nevertheless, his season average and recent scoring numbers make this line appealing.
