Scoot Henderson combined for 13 RA against Phoenix in the prior play-in game and Curry will see the bulk of the volume &amp; usage tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curry played 36 minutes against the Clippers, and I could see the Warriors ramping up his minutes to 40+ tonight in a win or go home game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA Props Picks for Friday: Jalen Green Phoenix Suns OVER 19.5 Points (-115)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jalen Green is coming off a game high 35 points while playing 39 minutes and taking a staggering 29 field goal attempts against the Portland Trail Blazers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Green should easily see 15+ field goal attempts in this game, and he&#8217;s covered this line in each of his last 7 games with that type of volume while averaging 25.9 points per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Golden State Warriors defense has to sell out on guarding Devin Booker and that will leave Green with open looks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Green has a quick first step and without Jimmy Butler &amp; Moses Moody the Dubs don&#8217;t have the speed to defend him in isolation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Warriors allowed the 8th most points to opposing shooting guards (22.8\/game) and we have seen similar players thrive against them recently including Darius Garland (21), Bennedict Mathurin (23), Donovan Mitchell (25) and CJ McCollum (23). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the last 15 games, Golden State ranked 21st in defending pull up shots in area where Green scores 41% Of his points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Green will see plenty of volume with the Dubs are preoccupied with Booker and he&#8217;s been shooting well so 20+ points feels very attainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/free-sports-picks\/nba\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/free-sports-picks\/nba\">NBA Free Picks and Predictions Today<\/a> at WagerTalk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block;
