NBA Player Prop Pick for Rockets vs Warriors Game 2
- Moses Moody Under 13.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-130)
Moses Moody Under 13.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists
Rockets vs Warriors, 9:30 p.m. ET
We've hit this 3 games in a row. I'm going to keep rolling with it until we see something different from Golden State's rotations.
Moses Moody played just 28 minutes in Game 1. He's now been under 30 minutes in 12 of the last 17 games. Moody averaged 9.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.1 assists when playing less than 30 minutes in the regular season.
The biggest concern for Moody coming out of Game 1 was that it wasn't one bench player in particular that came in and stole his minutes.
Steve Kerr tried out Buddy Hield, Gary Payton II, and Quinten Post for 12-16 minutes each. We saw sprinkles of Kevon Looney (9 minutes) and Gui Santos (7 minutes).
If any of those players actually play well, they could steal significant minutes from Moody. It's not like Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green will be coming off the floor.
Moody, and to a less extent Brandin Podziemski, are the main candidates to have their playing time capped by strong bench performers against Houston in this series.
