Sunday’s regular-season finale between the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors carries significant playoff implications. With a win, the Clippers can solidify their postseason position and avoid the Western Conference play-in tournament. A loss, however, could see them slide into seventh despite a 49-win campaign.
James Harden has been a steady presence during Los Angeles’ push toward 50 wins, averaging 27.0 points, 11.5 assists, and 7.5 rebounds over his last four games. As the Clippers lean on their top playmaker in a game that feels like a postseason opener, expect Harden to remain heavily involved.
Here is the featured James Harden prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Sunday’s matchup against the Warriors:

Over 31.5 Points + Assists (-110)
Harden has cleared this combined line often lately and enters Sunday averaging 17.7 points and 11.3 assists across three matchups against Golden State this season. While that production level falls under the line he’d need to clear, there is reason to believe he can get the job done.
With Kawhi Leonard and other key scorers back in the fold, Harden’s distribution duties remain central — but he’s also taken on a more significant scoring load in recent weeks. It’ll be more challenging for the Warriors to key in on Harden due to having Leonard beside him.
The Warriors may be playing on their home court, but they’ve had no answers for Harden this season. Golden State has played at a high level since acquiring Jimmy Butler, but it shouldn’t prevent Harden from producing.
With playoff seeding on the line and Clippers coach Tyronn Lue emphasizing urgency, Harden’s floor time and usage should be near their peak. In a game the Clippers cannot afford to let slip, Harden is positioned to produce at a high level once again.
