Tonight, two Western Conference contenders square off as the Denver Nuggets host the Los Angeles Clippers. However, only one squad will advance in the postseason, while the other will head to Cancun earlier than expected. Will Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets move on, or will James Harden and Kawhi Leonard steal a victory on the road to keep their dark-horse title dreams alive?
This series has provided some thrilling moments thus far, so Game 7 has the makings of an all-time classic between two very evenly matched teams. Here’s the top James Harden prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Clippers vs. Nuggets Game 7.
Best James Harden prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Harden’s prop lines on DraftKings Sportsbook currently sit at 20.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 9.5 assists, and 2.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line is currently 36.5.
The Clippers are 1.5-point underdogs tonight on DraftKings Sportsbook with a game total of 207. On the Moneyline, they’re -102 underdogs, while the Nuggets hold a slim margin as a -118 favorite.
First off, Harden’s points prop is actually a little bit lower than usual. Just a couple of games ago, this line sat at 22.5 points, so the lowered margin does make it an option for betting cards tonight. However, the star point guard has tallied totals of 32, 18, 20, 15, 11, and 28 points across the six games in this series. Having exceeded 20.5 points only twice, he’s clearly been more focused on setting the table for his teammates than putting the ball through the basket himself.
This is a Game 7, though. With the season on the line, Harden should come out more aggressively than typical as the Clippers lean more on their stars’ output to keep their season alive. With Harden’s points line at its lowest point lately and the high stakes, the over 20.5 actually does hold appeal at -125 odds. Harden’s alt line of 25+ points is also a strong option from a value perspective at +190 odds, though he only produced at that level in 25 of 85 games so far this season.
For bettors seeking another alternative, perhaps consider over 2.5 three-pointers for the star guard. Harden’s knocked down at least three shots from long distance in four of six games this series, so at -110 odds, there’s some value to be had there as he’ll continue to take a high volume of threes.
