Curry looks to make strides in his second season, but how drastic will those strides be?<\/figcaption><\/figure>With a shift in coaches from Don Nelson to Keith Smart, a lot of variables are still up in the air with the Warriors.\u00a0 It has been said we can expect the tempo to remain fast, and David Lee will certainly change the make up of the Warriors.\u00a0 The continued growth of Stephen Curry should be the story to watch in Golden State this year.\u00a0 Here’s the prop bets for the Golden State Warriors available at Bodog:<\/p>\n

Monta Ellis Over\/Under 25.3 PPG<\/strong><\/p>\n

OVER.\u00a0 While some may argue that losing Nellie will negatively affect Monta’s stats, I am not one of those people.\u00a0 His scoring average has improved every year he has been in the league so far, and as long as he keeps logging heavy minutes (he played 41.4 mins a game last season), he will continue to put up great stats.\u00a0 Last year he averaged 25.5, and I think this year he jumps up to about 27 ppg.\u00a0 He is a pure scorer and one of the better ones at it.<\/p>\n

Monta Ellis Over\/Under 5.0 APG<\/strong><\/p>\n

Too close to call.\u00a0 He averaged 5.3 last year, and the pace may be changing this year.\u00a0 Moreover, will he look to shoot it more?\u00a0 Will he get more assists because of David Lee?\u00a0 I advise leaving this bet alone.\u00a0 If anything, I would bet Ellis hits right on 5.0 assists per game.\u00a0 The number really does sound about right.<\/p>\n

David Lee Over\/Under 20.0 PPG<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not touching this one either.\u00a0 He did average 20.3 last year, but until his role is defined within the Warriors offense, we won’t really know what he is capable of.\u00a0 We would need a lot more information before feeling comfortable betting on this one.<\/p>\n

David Lee Over\/Under 11.3 RPG<\/strong><\/p>\n

OVER.\u00a0 He was 11.7 each of the last two years, and there is no reason to expect his rebounding to be affected by switching teams.\u00a0 I think he might even crack 12 rebounds per game this year.\u00a0 Lee is a great rebounder and he is still young, so I have every reason to believe he will get more this year than last year, which would easily put him over 11.3\u00a0 Lee has a knack for getting to the ball and will be one of the league’s top rebounders for the next 5-8 years.<\/p>\n

Stephen Curry Over\/Under 19.3 PPG<\/strong><\/p>\n

OVER.\u00a0 Curry played some incredible basketball in the second half of last year, and appears to be a favorite choice to lead the league in minutes played.\u00a0 He’s going to have every opportunity to put up 20+ ppg, and I think 19.3 is about the minimum he will average.\u00a0 I think his Davidson days will let him know he can chuck it up with the best of them, and put up huge numbers.\u00a0 While he is a point guard, he has a lot of shooting guard in him, and could easily become a shoot first point guard that leads a high scoring team.<\/p>\n

Stephen Curry Over\/Under 6.5 APG<\/strong><\/p>\n

UNDER.\u00a0 Curry has too many nights when he struggles to get assists.\u00a0 He has his moments of getting 10+, but he has far too many 3 assist or less nights to get his average up another .60 apg than last season.\u00a0 While I understand he will average slightly more minutes this year, since he’ll be playing big starters minutes from the get go, but I don’t see him playing enough of a distributive role this year.<\/p>\n
