Monday’s final NBA game will be between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Clippers. Here are five of the best player accessories in Underdog Fantasy for the showdown.
Brandin Podziemski More than 10.5 rebounds+assists
With the Warriors without Stephen Curry in their last nine games, second-year forward Brandin Podziemski of Golden State has been filling the stat sheet. In his last four games, he has easily surpassed his 10.5 rebounds+assists line from Monday night. In two of these games, he surpassed this line in rebounds alone, recording 15 rebounds against both the New Orleans Pelicans and the Denver Nuggets.
Against the Clippers this season, Podziemski has scored less than his 10.5 line against the Clippers in each of the two games they’ve played. Despite this, his ease in covering the over of this total without Curry in the lineup makes taking over on Monday a great play.
Bennedict Mathurin More than 17.5 points
Los Angeles wing Bennedict Mathurin has scored less than his line of 17.5 points in his last two games. With this, he feels that a great game awaits him against the Warriors.
Mathurin, this season, has shown that he can put up big scoring numbers, and he has especially shown that since becoming a Clipper. In the three games leading up to his two games in which he hit the under with his prop player for 17.5 points, he was hitting the over with this prop with more than enough room to spare. In this stretch, he averaged 28.3 points per game. This score looks like it has a great chance of coming back against the Warrriors, who have been more than lacking defensively recently. Golden State, in its last three games, is tied for the 10th most points per game in the NBA, 118.0, with the Dallas Mavericks.
Brook López More than 4.5 rebounds
Clippers big man Brook Lopez has had five or more rebounds three times in his last four games. Despite this high success rate in covering the over in the rebound support line this Monday, his under in this support is the correct play.
The Warriors rank in the top half of the NBA, 14th, in fewest rebounds allowed per game in the NBA this season. Furthermore, López, in the last five games of his career against the Warriors, including two this season, has not had five or more rebounds even once.
Draymond Green below 8.5 points
Draymond Green has improved as a scorer at times during Curry’s nine-game absence, but in this contest, it appears he will use other areas of his game to make an impact.
This season, the Clippers are allowing the ninth-fewest points per game in the NBA. In both games against Los Angeles this season, Green has had notable games, recording big assists and total steals. But he has hit the low of his player support of 8.5 points on Monday in both games. With this, the correct play is to go back to underwriting with your scoring mainstay on Monday night.
John Collins made less than 1.5 triples
Clippers forward John Collins has reached the under with his 3-point line of 1.5 in his last five games. This same result should continue until Monday.
In Collins’ last six games against Golden State, he has made two or made three once. Additionally, this season the Warriors are allowing the eighth-fewest three-pointers per game in the NBA.
