Brandin Podziemski o22.5 Points and Rebounds (-105)
Steph Curry’s absence has thrown Podziemski into a bigger role, and he’s got a path to eye-popping numbers again tonight, even against the Oklahoma City Thunder’s swarming defense. Podziemski has scored 18+ points in four of his past six contests, while balancing a heavy minutes load, and he’s jacked up 18 shots in each of his last two games.
But it’s his rebounding that makes this such an attractive prop. He’s grabbed 7+ boards in seven straight outings, including two 15-rebound efforts, and Golden State will need his savvy work on the glass to hold off the relentless Thunder.
Chet Holmgren o27.5 Points and Rebounds (-112)
Chet Holmgren has been on a tear, and with Isaiah Hartenstein sidelined, I expect him to continue his strong play against a depleted Warriors frontcourt at home. Holmgren has averaged 27.9 points+rebounds in 24 games without Hartenstein, hitting the Over on this line 13 times.
Over his last six games, Holmgren has averaged 16.3 points and 12.2 rebounds, averaging 16 points and 18 boards in his last two home games. He’s reached the Over in four of his last five home games and delivered 28+ points+rebounds in all three matchups with Golden State.

CHA (-154)
The Charlotte Hornets have won 10 straight on the road and face an inconsistent Phoenix Suns team that has shot only 41% during a 5–5 stretch. Charlotte is deeper, healthier, and has too much firepower for Phoenix to deal with, and is a good bet to keep their road winning streak intact.
