The Los Angeles Clippers are 30-23 this season and sixth in the Western Conference. They will face the 13-40 Jazz in Utah at 9:00 p.m. ET tonight. The Clippers are 2-0 against the Jazz this season, with a 20-point victory last week.
After a down season last year, James Harden once again made the NBA All-Star team. He is averaging 21.3 points, 8.6 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per contest. Here is my favorite prop bet for Harden for tonight’s game against the Jazz.
James Harden over 9.5 assists (+100)
Getting Harden’s over-in assists at +100 on DraftKings Sportsbook is incredible, considering his recent play. He has hit that mark in three straight games and nine of his previous 12 games. He averages 8.6 assists per contest this season, fifth in the NBA.
Harden has recorded double-digit assists in two of his last three games. He is averaging 10.6 assists a game during five contests in February. Utah is 2-4 in their previous six games and has allowed at least 128 points in four of the last five games.
Harden assists on 37.7 percent of his team’s baskets when he is on the floor, ranking ninth among NBA players. Even though Harden still possesses 25-point ability, he is not as consistent a scorer now. His over/under for points is listed at 22.5, which he has only hit three times in the last eight games.
