Stephen Curry to Score 30+ Points (+135)
Steph has been on quite the roll lately, he's coming off a 46-point performance in the loss to the Lakers over the weekend. It was his 2nd straight 30+ point game, over his last 9 he's averaging 26.3 per game, while shooting 38% from three on high volume. He's had at least 5 threes in 4 of his last 5 games, that stat alone sounds like trouble for the 76ers defense here. They've allowed opponents to shoot 39.8% from downtown in their last 3 outings, which is almost as bad as the NBA's worst Charlotte Hornets against whom opponents are making 39.9% of three-point attempts this season. Steph is no stranger to big games against the 76ers, he's averaging 29.5 points per game in the last 10 meetings. He's even had two games of 10 made threes, with all the high scoring games happening in the NBA these days, wouldn't it be awesome if Steph turned back the clock once again and torched the 76ers?
