Paul George debuted with the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, scoring 15 points in a narrow 118-116 loss to the Phoenix Suns. After recovering from a left knee injury, George called his first game back “rusty” but expressed confidence in his body’s resilience, playing 32 minutes without any physical setbacks.
As he adjusts to Philadelphia’s system, George will look to settle in against his former team, the Clippers, on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.

Best Paul George Prop Bets
Prop lines for George include points (20.5), rebounds (4.5), assists (3.5) and a combined points + rebounds + assists line (29.5). Here’s a breakdown of the main options:
Points 20.5 (Over -120 / Under -110): The points line for George is set at 20.5, with the over slightly favored at -120. He scored 15 points in his debut, but George averaged 22.6 points last season. The over could be appealing if George finds his shooting rhythm in his second game back, while the under might attract those expecting a gradual return to form.
Rebounds 4.5 (Over -142 / Under +100): George’s rebounds line is set at 4.5, with the over heavily favored at -142. Known for his contributions on the boards, George averaged 5.2 rebounds per game last season. Bettors may lean toward the over, especially given his active role in Philadelphia’s lineup, though the under at +100 could be an intriguing option.
Assists 3.5 (Over -162 / Under +126): The assists line for George is set at 3.5, with the over at -162. George dished out four assists in his first game, matching his season average from last year. The over may be attractive for bettors expecting him to facilitate in Embiid’s potential absence, while the under offers higher payout odds if George prioritizes scoring.
Points + Rebounds + Assists 29.5 (Over -120 / Under -110): The combined line of 29.5 points, rebounds, and assists offers an intriguing option. The over and under provide reasonable value depending on whether bettors anticipate a big performance or a cautious return for George. Remember, he averaged 31.3 combined points, rebounds and assists last season.
Double-Double (+1200): George is listed at +1200 to record a double-double, which is a risky option. He only had three double-doubles last season in 74 appearances. However, this is a high-reward option if it does transpire.
