Playoffs of the NBA Friday overview: Best Paris for Rockets vs Warriors, Clippers vs Nuggets

Days like Friday are a bit like being in the eye of the hurricane of the NBA qualifiers – little things are happening, but it is only temporary. So, with just the rockets and the warriors who play today, we will look to the future so that we can talk about certain choices of the NBA qualifiers.

But let’s start with match 6 of a competitive series between the Houston Rockets (seeded n ° 2) and the Golden State Warriors (seeded n ° 7).

Houston Rockets (+5) against Golden State Warriors (-230), o / U 203.5

Rockets +5 to -112

With Steph Curry who was breastfeeding a thumb injury, all of this can belong to Jimmy Butler. Butler is certainly capable of lighting him and taking a game, but can we count on him to do it? He scored 25, 3, 27 and 8 in the four games in which he played. So I don’t know.

However, the Warriors are quite dominant when they play at home in the playoffs (17-3 in their last 20). Golden State will remove all stops in order to close it. I think they will do it, but it will be a fairly close game.

Jimmy Butler, more than 20.5 points at -128
Points of the first quarter, more than 4.5 to +108

When he played most of the game, Butler scored more than 20 years (match 1 – 25 and match 3 – 27). Steph is not 100%, the Warriors will push the offensive through Butler. Houston will know and defend it accordingly, but Butler will receive enough shots to exceed 20.5 points.

As for his points in the first quarter, Butler talked about the team that started better. I think he will do his best to show the example and easily mark five points in the first.

Jalen Green, less than 23.5 pts + REB + AST

His regular season average for this combo was 29 years old, led by his average of 21 points per game. But during the playoffs – apart from hanging 38 on the Warriors in match 2 – he was nonexistent, marking 9, 8 and 11 points in the last three games and not doing much more on the boards or the dimes.

It would be nice if the guy reached 8 of the 18 attempts of 3 points arose, but his figures in the last three games say they are not counting on this.

Los Angeles Clippers (-1) against Denver Nuggets (-102), o / U 204.5

Denver +1 to -110

The Clippers obtained what they needed to win match 6: Kawhi Leonard’s stellar performances, James Harden and Norman Powell. If they will win in Denver and steal the series away from Nuggets, they will need everyone to have a similar or better game than in match 6.

I don’t think it will happen. Kawhi Leonard will easily opt for more than 20 points. But it is difficult to be confident in Harden (32, 18, 20, 15, 11 and 28 points) and / or Powell (12, 13, 20, 22, 12 and 24). One of them will drop the team and Denver will take the W.
