Steph Curry has an over/under of 24.5 points for the game. He has struggled in the past few games, which is evident in Golden State’s recent record. Curry should come out aggressive on Sunday and end the game with over 24.5 points.

Anthony Edwards has an over/under of 28.5 points. If there’s anything that he enjoys, it’s a challenge. With Golden State in town, expect him to be motivated to prove that he has truly arrived and is the best player on the court. The former No. 1 pick should score over 28.5 points.
