NBA Prop Bet of the Day

Stephen Curry OVER 6.5 threes made at Washington (+130, William Hill)

On par with temps equivalent to the sun’s surface, sensations associated with a Carolina reaper pepper or fiery feelings in certain bodily regions post late-night burrito consumption, Curry is searing. Shooting golf balls through an oversized hula hoop, he’s splashed at least eight triples in five of his last six games. His 78 3-pointers made in his last 11 games is a new NBA record. This month he’s netted an absurd 50.3% from beyond the arc. There are no further arguments, your honor. The defense rests. Curry is the greatest pure shooter in league history. At some point the flame will extinguish, but are you willing to bet against it, at plus odds no less? The Wizards are the eighth-best matchup for a shooter according to the FTN Daily advanced DvP tool. Even more encouraging, they rank No. 22 in adjusted defensive efficiency and No. 24 in three-point percentage defense allowing 37.6%. The Bay Area’s golden one should again torch the twine.
