Golden State Warriors

OF Gui Santos announcement that he is leaving Golden State Warriors Now another significant issue for team…..

The Warriors defeated the Miami Heat 113-92 Tuesday night as 3.5-point faves.

G Klay Thompson shouldered the load with 28 points on 6-for-14 from distance.

After struggling with the 3-ball for much of the season, he’s shooting 41% from deep this month, which is more in line with his career average.

The Dubs need to pick it up, as they’re 4-6 over the last 10, and the Houston Rockets are just 1 game from kicking them out of the play-in tournament.

The Magic are firmly in 5th place in the East and sit just 1½ games from jumping up to 3rd.

Their efforts took a hit with a 109-107 loss to the Sacramento Kings Saturday as 3-point favorites.

The setback snapped a 5-game winning streak. F Paolo Banchero had 22 points, 7 boards and 5 assists.

I’m a little worried about G Stephen Curry. He’s averaging 21.8 PPG this month, which is fine, but he averages 26.7 on the season.

He’s also shooting an abysmal (for him) 35.7% from long range and 41.3% from the floor overall in March. ESPN’s Stephen A.

Smith has a motto that in the playoffs: “superstars will get you one.” And Curry could absolutely take over and lead the Dubs to a win. However, on the back end of a back-to-back, and with his recent showings, I’m siding with the books.

That said, I’m not touching the -175 on the young Orlando squad.

Instead, I’m keying in on F Draymond Green. He’ll have a bit of a size advantage underneath and could stuff the stat sheet.

He is averaging 9.3 PPG, 9.3 RPG and 6 APG in the last 4 games.

We’re projecting Orlando to cover here, but I have a more profitable idea.

Banchero has drained a 3-pointer in 12 straight games and is shooting at a career-high clip of 36.5% on the season.

The problem is his line is 1.5, and he has hit two 3’s in 4 of those 12 games.

He went 3-for-8 against Golden State in January, and the Warriors will entice you to chuck up some 3’s.
