By: Alex Hunter

Harden and the Clippers begin their season at home and face Kevin Durant’s Suns on Wednesday. Phoenix is a five-point favorite for this matchup. This tilt carries a total of 225 points on the DraftKings Sportsbook. Below, I dive into my favorite bet from this game, which is a Harden player prop wager.

Best James Harden Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

James Harden O 37.5 PRA (-115)

Harden is a great bet to exceed this combo line on Wednesday vs. the Suns. On top of the Clippers losing Paul George and Russell Westbrook in free agency this summer, Kawhi Leonard (knee) is out indefinitely. This leaves Harden in an alpha role as Los Angeles’ unanimous top option. With Leonard, George, and Westbrook off the court last season, Harden’s usage skyrocketed 10.8 percentage points to 32.1%. Furthermore, the former MVP’s assist percentage leaped 10.9 percentage points to a whopping 44%. Per 100 possessions, Harden averaged 37.6 points, 12.8 assists, and 4.8 rebounds with Leonard, George, and Westbrook off the floor.

His matchup with the Suns is average – the club ranked 14th in defensive efficiency and 15th in pace last season – but Harden had no issues against this squad. In his two matchups with Phoenix last season, Harden averaged 37 PRA per game, even with Leonard, George, and Westbrook available for both these tilts.

We should see a vintage performance from Harden this evening, and not only is he a terrific bet to go over his 37.5 PRA combo line on the DraftKings Sportsbook, but attacking him for a double-double at a reasonable price of -130 is a sharp call.
