The NBA regular season is winding down, but the playoff race becomes more intriguing by the day as postseason implications increase with each matchup. Tonight, both eighth-seeded squads clash as the Los Angeles Clippers face the Orlando Magic.
Each of these teams is within striking distance of the seventh seed in their conference, so this game could hold meaningful impact on the playoff race. Here’s the top James Harden prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for the action.
Best James Harden prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Harden’s prop lines on DraftKings Sportsbook are set at 20.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 2.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line is currently 33.5.
The Magic and Clippers rank second and third in defensive rating, respectively, while both fall bottom-eight in pace. With that said, this game carries a very low total of 210 points on DKSB, with the Clippers holding -142 odds to win on the Moneyline. All things considered, it should be a relatively slow-paced, defensive affair.
One Harden prop bet to take a look at tonight is in the rebounds market. While the 35-year-old hasn’t hit the boards as well lately as he did earlier in the season, he’s still averaging 5.8 rebounds per game on the campaign. The Magic rank 22nd in rebounding since the All-Star break, and Harden pulled down seven boards in his lone game against them back in November. He’s gone over his 5.5-rebound line in five of his last 10 games, and at +120 odds, the over is worth sprinkling tonight.
The other Harden prop bet to check out is a similar one, but with an added twist. The star guard’s combined AST + REB prop line is set at 13.5 with +105 odds on the over. This one holds some real appeal given Harden’s production across the stat sheet, especially in his assist numbers. He averages 8.6 assists per game and is a threat to record 10 or more on any given night. Even if he doesn’t pull down a ton of boards tonight, this combined AST + REB prop means bettors have a bit of insurance but still retain plus-odds. The most important number to note? Harden’s gone over this line in 40 of 71 games this season, a hit rate over 56%.
