Leg 1: Under 207

The total on Friday night has slowly crept up, but it has reached the breaking point. After two ‘overs’, we’re taking a firm position on the ‘under’ in Game 6. 

Golden State’s defense imploded on Wednesday night, giving up 131 points in a decisive defeat. The Rockets shot 43-for-78 from the field, including 13-for-30 from distance, yielding respective marks of 55.1% and 43.3%. They won’t be able to replicate that success at the Chase Center.

Golden State is primed for a substantially improved effort at home. These squads rank in the top 10 in defensive efficiency, with middling offensive metrics. Altogether, that points toward quick regression, as this one stays below 207 points.

Leg 2: Amen Thompson Under 13.5 Points

Amen Thompson is coming off his best performance of the playoffs and, perhaps, the season. The swingman scored 25 points on the Dubs in Game 5, shooting a blistering 8-for-12 from the field and draining eight of nine free throws. We’re not counting on a repeat performance on Friday. 

Thompson’s proficiency extends back to Game 4. Over the last two, he’s shooting 62.5% from the field while adding 14 free throw attempts. Those benchmarks put him well off his usual pace. Thompson concluded the regular season with a 55.7% shooting percentage and a modest 68.4% free throw percentage. Currently, he’s operating well outside those thresholds. 

This is a good spot to take a principled stand against Thompson. The Warriors are poised for a significantly improved defensive effort. Combined with Thompson’s anticipated regression, we’re betting he falls below his point total.

Leg 3: Draymond Green to Record 8+ Rebounds

Draymond Green may be getting long in the tooth, but he’s shown that he still has plenty of bite. The Warriors forward remains a stout defensive presence, a skillset Golden State will lean into on Friday night. 

The Warriors’ starters came out in the third quarter, limiting their success on player props in Game 5. However, before that performance, Green was on an upward trajectory, particularly regarding rebounding. The four-time All-Star had grabbed eight rebounds in his previous two contests while playing north of 64 minutes. 

Green’s defensive presence will be a determining factor in Golden State’s anticipated success. Look for Green to reassert himself on the glass, pulling down at least eight rebounds.
