In a thrilling throwback performance, Clippers star James Harden delivered a vintage 50-point outing in Wednesday’s win over the Pistons. The 35-year old still has gas in the tank, and tonight, he faces a talented Knicks squad in a battle between playoff contenders.
Here’s the top prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for the action, which tips off in Los Angeles at 10:30 p.m. EST.
Best James Harden prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
DraftKings Sportsbook lists Harden’s prop lines for tonight at 25.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 8.5 assists. His PTS + REB + AST O/U is 39.5.
This should be a close contest between two postseason-caliber teams. The Knicks fall 17th in defensive rating and fall within the bottom five in opponent field goal percentage, but they still play a physical style and have a handful of talented defenders.
Harden is coming off a vintage performance which showed shades of his former three-time scoring champ self, however, he’s not that guy on a nightly basis anymore. He averages 22.1 points per game and is often much more focused on setting the table for teammates. His points line of 25.5 is too high, especially since Harden has gone under that mark in 48 of 59 appearances. At -125 odds on the under, this looks like a safe option to build value.
There is an over to target, though. Harden’s combined AST + REB line is set at 14.5 tonight, and while his scoring is down, the former MVP is still an every-night contributor across the stat sheet. Harden has gone over 14.5 AST + REB in 32 of 59 games, including six of his last 10 contests. At -115 odds, this prop feels like a solid choice.
