We continue with the NBA prop picks on Monday, February 5 with another inter-conference clash, so make sure you don’t miss out on the Warriors vs Nets Player Prop Bets. The Golden State Warriors are hoping to avoid the fourth road defeat in five games, while the Brooklyn Nets look for the fourth win in five games.
Warriors vs Nets Player Prop Bets – Stephen Curry Over 29.5 Points (-120)
Stephen Curry erupted for a season-high 60 points in the previous game against the Atlanta Hawks, but the Warriors still lost. Curry was excellent from the floor (22-38) and made a season-high 10 three-pointers. He now scored 30+ points in three of the past four games and has a great matchup against the Nets on Monday.
Brooklyn allows 26.8 ppg to the opposing point guards this year. Andrew Wiggins exited the last game with a sprained foot and is highly unlikely to play against the Nets, which means Curry’s usage will be even higher tonight.
Curry scored 37 points the last time he met the Nets, and I am pretty confident he’ll have another 30-point display here. Expect him to receive a lot of minutes.
Mikal Bridges Over 22.5 Points (-110)
Mikal Bridges played just 32 minutes in a blowout win over the 76ers but managed to score 23 points, including five three-pointers. For three consecutive games, Bridges made 5+ triples, and I am backing him to stay hot from downtown against the Warriors, who allow 13.2 threes per game this season.
Bridges leads the Nets in points (21.9) and minutes per game (35.1) this season. He has a favorable matchup against Klay Thompson, who will move to a small forward position due to Andrew Wiggins’ injury. Thompson is not a good defender, and I seriously doubt he can cope with Bridges’ athleticism and perimeter threat.
Bridges didn’t have a good shooting display the last time he faced the Warriors. He was 6-17 and finished with 18 points. Golden State allows 21.7 ppg to the opposing small forwards, and Mikal will score at least 23 in this one.
Hopefully, both of the Warriors vs Nets Player Prop Bets will be winners. That’s not all for the NBA player picks on Monday, February 5, as we invite you to check out the Raptors vs Pelicans Player Prop Bets.
