On Boston’s side, bettors are looking for Marcus Smart to have a big overall game. People are also taking a chance on Celtics big man Al Horford to go over 10.5 points. Bettors are expecting a “Poole party” tonight, with the Warriors guard going over 15.5 points at +100 getting the most action. Curry’s points and three-pointers prop remains on the board, as does Smart’s combined points-rebounds-assists prop. He’s being back to hit at least four triples, but is also expected to go under 27.5 points. Poole’s points prop remains the top bet, although it is no longer at plus money.
