Jimmy Butler Over 21.5 points (-105 at Bet365)

Jimmy Butler came up empty for the first time in a meaningful game for the Warriors, scoring just eight points on 2-for-10 shooting in the Game 5 loss.

No worries, though, as every member of the Warriors could say the same thing, as we were into extended garbage time with Kerr’s starters riding pine halfway through the fourth quarter.

A Butler bounce-back is in order, as the last time he was at Chase Center, he dropped a game-high 27 to push the Rockets to the brink.

He’s scored at least 24 points in six of his last seven (not including the three points he scored after playing eight minutes in Game 2 before leaving with that pelvic injury).

I’m banking on Game 5 being his outlier of the series.

Alperen Sengun Over 4.5 assists (+110 at Bet365)

Alperen Sengun has been one of the steady forces for the Rockets in this series, averaging 20 points on 47.7% shooting, while also adding 11 rebounds and 5.2 assists.

Those numbers are tops across the board for the Rockets in this series.

I see a makeable 4.5 assist line for the big man in Game 6, a figure he has topped in three of the last four games, including a series-high nine dimes last time out.

He had five assists in his last game at Chase Center and missed hitting the Over in Game 3 by one assist.

Jalen Green Under 15.5 points (-105 at Bet365)

While Sengun has carried over his game from the regular season to the playoffs, it’s been a little bit tougher of a transition for Jalen Green in his first postseason.

Houston’s leading scorer at 21 points per game in the regular season is at 14.6 in the playoffs, and that number is inflated by Green’s 38-point outburst in Game 2.

Take that away, and the fourth-year man is averaging just 8.8 points on 31% shooting from the floor.

With a line of 15.5 points for Friday, it’s going to be tough sledding again for the explosive guard, as the Warriors can throw a stack of live, tough defensive bodies against him, from Butler to Gary Payton II to Moses Moody.
