Jordan Poole Fewer Than 24.5 Fantasy Points

While Poole has shown flashes of brilliance this season, there are several reasons to be cautious about his fantasy production in this game. First, Poole benefited from some favorable circumstances in Game 1, including some foul trouble for Draymond Green and extra playing time in the fourth quarter. Second, the Warriors will likely rely on their star players like Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Stephen Curry to carry the team to victory. If they get out in front early, Poole may not see the floor as much as he did in Game 1.

Overall, Stokastic’s PrizePicks NBA Player Projections Tool expects Poole to be relatively limited in this game, which makes it hard for him to rack up fantasy points. Take the under on his fantasy points projection.

Dennis Schroder More Than 6.0 Field Goal Attempts

Schroder has been a key player for the Lakers in the playoffs, and he should continue to play an important role in this game. It makes sense for him to be tasked with guarding Curry, which could give him more opportunities to make an impact on both ends of the court. Furthermore, Schroder is a confident player who is not afraid to take shots. If he sees more playing time, he is likely to take advantage of his opportunities and take more than six shots in this game. Stokastic’s PrizePicks NBA Player Projections Tool has him at 8.7 field goal attempts tonight.
