The Los Angeles Clippers continue a pivotal four-game road trip Friday when they face the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center. With the Western Conference playoff race tightening, every game matters — and James Harden remains at the center of the Clippers’ push for postseason position.
Los Angeles has won nine of its last 11 games, including a 126-113 victory over the New York Knicks on Wednesday. Harden scored 29 points in that win and continues to shoulder a heavy offensive load as the Clippers aim to avoid the Play-In Tournament.
Here is the featured James Harden prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Friday’s matchup against the Nets.
Best James Harden Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Over 35.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-105)
Harden has averaged 26.4 points, 9.2 assists and 5.6 rebounds in 13 games this month. He has cleared this line in 10 of those contests. He’s elevated his game when the Clippers have needed it most.
The matchup favors Harden. The Nets have dropped five straight and are coming off back-to-back home blowout losses to the Mavericks and Raptors. Brooklyn allowed 116 points to a Toronto team that ranks last in the league in scoring. Defensive lapses have been frequent during the Nets’ 3-16 slide since February 25.
Harden torched Brooklyn for 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in their last meeting — a 125-66 blowout in January, which still stands as the NBA’s most significant margin of victory this season.
With Kawhi Leonard drawing plenty of attention and the Nets continuing to struggle defensively, Harden is in a strong position to produce another high-output game.
