The Clippers and Lakers are going head-to-head in Los Angeles on Sunday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Clippers are favored by 3.5 points and this game presents a total of 219.5 points.
Below, I have featured my favorite Kawhi Leonard prop bet to consider from this contest.
Best Kawhi Leonard Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Kawhi Leonard U 29.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-110)
Leonard just played the Lakers this past Friday and he stayed under 29.5 PRA with 21 points, four rebound and three assists, despite playing a season high 37.5 minutes and Norman Powell (knee) being out for the Clippers. Leonard has now only exceeded 29.5 PRA in four of his 18 starts this season and Powell will return from a five-game absence for Sunday’s rematch with the Lakers.
This season, Powell is averaging a career-high 24.2 PPG with a huge 27.5% usage rate. With Powell on the floor this season, Leonard’s usage decreases 3.6 percentage points and his assist rate drops 1.6 percentage points. In the 14 games Leonard has played alongside Powell this season, Leonard is only averaging 16.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.
On top of Powell being back and hurting Leonard’s role, this is a difficult spot with the Lakers ranking second in defensive rating and 18th in pace over their last 10 games. In this situation, Leonard is a great bet for under 29.5 PRA.
