The gift that keeps on giving. Davion Mitchell has been a cash cow over the past month with this player prediction number. When playing 30+ minutes, he has cleared this number in 12 of his last 14 games, averaging 21.4 combined points + assists per game.
Now entrenched in the starting five, Mitchell has averaged 37 minutes, 17 points and 6.3 assists (on 16.5 potential assists) per game.
I was on this last game, and it was painful. Alperen Sengun shot 7-of-18 from the floor and 1-from-6 from the charity stripe, finishing with 30 combined points + rebounds + assists. With that said, the usage is hard to ignore. If a couple of those short floaters fall, or those free throws come through, we’re talking about a different story here.
Sengun managed to hit the more than on this mark in Game 1 (36) and Game 2 (40). The Warriors don’t have the size to contend with him.
Call it square, call it whatever you want, but Steph Curry at home in the playoffs is a recipe for plenty of points. He’s coming off a 36-point performance in Game 3, and there’s a chance Jimmy Butler sits out once again.
The Rockets were 29th in pick-and-roll ball-handler defense on the season, allowing the most points to opposing point guards as well.
