James Harden may be 35 years old, but he’s still among the NBA’s elite guards for a reason. Over his last 10 games, the Beard has blasted back to the past by averaging 29.0 points, 10.0 assists, and 6.5 rebounds — if you squint hard enough, it’s almost like the good old days never left.
The Clippers ride a three-game win streak into a high-profile matchup against the Cavaliers tonight. Here’s some top Harden prop bets to look at on DraftKings Sportsbook before the late 10:30 p.m. EST tip-off.
Best James Harden prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
DraftKings Sportsbook lists Harden’s prop lines at 22.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists, and 3.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line is currently 37.5.
Cleveland is a supremely-talented opponent, coming in with the NBA’s best record and seventh-best defense in terms of DRTG. They allow the 10th-fewest points to opponents and play at the ninth-fastest pace, too. While Evan Mobley is questionable, the rest of the Cavaliers remain healthy.
Harden has eclipsed the 22.5-point mark in each of his last seven games, so taking his over on points is a tempting angle. However, the AST + REB market is probably a bit of a safer play thanks to his all-around production, even given his recent scoring streak. At -115 odds to go over 14.5 AST + REB, this bet is a nice option. Harden has beaten that line in 37 of 65 appearances this season, nearly a 57% hit rate.
For a prop with juicier odds, considering looking towards Harden’s three-pointers market. He’s made at least four shots from long range in eight of his last 15 games, including five of his last seven. Over 3.5 three-pointers made is available at +110 odds, which makes it an intriguing play with his hot shooting as of late. After all, Harden is second all-time in 3PM. He can still shoot with the best of them.
