Steph Curry will be notably absent when the Golden State Warriors take on the New Orleans Pelicans in a highly anticipated nationally televised match-up.

Golden State is 2-1 this year with blowout wins over Utah (127-86) and Portland (140-104) but a loss at the Clippers (112-104) in the previous outing. With Curry out and Andrew Wiggins a game-time decision, Golden State finds themselves as home underdogs, which is not common.

New Orleans is 2-1 through three games with a loss to Portland (125-103) in the previous outing. The Pelicans had a day off before the short road trip to Golden State. The Pelicans have had three different players lead the team in scoring, rebounding, and assists through three games.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Draymond Green to go Under his 20.5 points + rebounds + assists prop vs New Orleans:

"Steph Curry is out and Andrew Wiggins is a game-time decision against New Orleans, so a load of Golden State players will have an increase of usage.

Draymond Green is averaging 4.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists through three games (11.6 PRA), so I am not sure the correction to 19.5 and 20.5 PRA without those two players is correct.

Green has gone 1-of-6 from the field in the past two games with two free-throw attempts. Green has posted more than six individual points, rebounds, or assists in a game yet this year. I don't expect it to start here.
