NBA Prop Bet of the Day

Stephen Curry OVER 6.5 made threes vs. Memphis (+115, PointsBet)

The pussywillows blowing in the wind along the shores of Lake Titicaca. Endlessly funny? Yes, similar to the lines around three-pointers swished by the greatest shooter of our generation. In a must win for Golden State to punch its next-round ticket, wagering on Curry is the smartest of smart money. Expect another long-range eruption, on par with his 9-for-22 perimeter performance against the Grizzlies on May 16. Including that effort, the Chef cooked up seven or more triples in five of his last 10 games. Need more evidence? The Grizz, over its last 15 games, rank No. 6 in friendliest matchup for arc assassins according to the FTN Daily Advanced DvP tool. During the regular season, they also ranked a very mediocre No. 17 in three-point percentage D. Bottom line, betting against Curry is an unwise maneuver.
