The Clippers are hosting the Heat on Monday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Los Angeles is favored by six points and this game presents a total of 215.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite James Harden prop to consider from this contest.

Best James Harden Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

James Harden U 20.5 Points (-125)

Harden has stayed under this number in four of his last six starts and he should fall short of this number again Monday. The veteran’s outside shooting has been lackluster as of late, with Harden shooting only 29% on three-pointers in his last 10 games, and Monday’s matchup with the Heat isn’t an appealing spot by any means.

This season, Miami ranks 10th in defensive efficiency and it is allowing the third-fewest points to point guards. The Heat and Clippers are both bottom-10 teams in pace and as a result, this game’s total is a modest 215.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook, which is the lowest of Monday’s six-game slate by five points.

This should be a slow-paced defensive battle and betting Harden for under 20.5 points is a wise move Monday. The guard has competed in a game with a total of less than 220 points 14 times this season and he has scored under 20 points in half of those games.
