Charlotte&rsquo;s defense has struggled to contain perimeter shooters, ranking near the bottom in opponent three-point percentage.<\/p><p>Curry has cleared 25 points in most of his recent outings, and with Golden State favored by 6.5, he should see full minutes unless the game gets out of hand.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">INSANE STAT: Stephen Curry has MORE career three-pointers than free throws &#129327;<br><br>Definition of ETHICAL HOOPS &#127936; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lexjeeFIGE\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/lexjeeFIGE<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Basketball Forever (@bballforever_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bballforever_\/status\/2011038012965347828?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>January 13, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prop #2 &ndash; LeBron James Over 20+ Points<\/h2><p><strong>Line:<\/strong> Over 20+ points (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-Draftkings-Sportsbook\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}' rel=\"nofollow\">-110<\/a>) at DraftKings<\/p><p>LeBron enters averaging 22.7 points per game while shooting an efficient 51.4% from the field.

LeBron&rsquo;s minutes remain steady, and his role as the Lakers&rsquo; primary initiator ensures volume.<\/p><p>He has hit 20+ points in the majority of recent games, and Portland&rsquo;s lack of elite wing defenders gives him a favorable matchup.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prop #3 &ndash; Cade Cunningham Over 25+ Points<\/h2><p><strong>Line:<\/strong> Over 25+ points (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}' rel=\"nofollow\">-105<\/a>) at BetMGM<\/p><p>Cunningham leads Detroit&rsquo;s offense, averaging 26.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 9.8 assists per game.

The Pacers&rsquo; defense has struggled against lead guards, and Cunningham&rsquo;s ability to score at all three levels makes him a tough cover.<\/p><p>Detroit has won both prior meetings this season, and Cunningham has consistently produced against weaker defenses.
