NBA Best Bets: Top Kawhi Leonard player props for Clippers vs. Nuggets Game 7

Kawhi Leonard is a playoff monster, but he hasn’t been able to stay healthy come postseason time throughout the last several seasons. However, he’s hanging around so far in the first round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs. Tonight, the Klaw has the chance to send the Los Angeles Clippers to the next round, but it’ll take a big performance for him to keep his team’s title hopes afloat.

This Clippers vs. Nuggets series is a slugfest and it’s tough to predict a winner. With that said, here’s the top Kawhi Leonard prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for tonight’s Game 7.

Best Kawhi Leonard prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

At this moment, DraftKings Sportsbook lists Leonard’s prop betting lines at 24.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line sits at 36.5 across the board.

The Clippers are 1.5-point underdogs tonight on DraftKings Sportsbook with a game total of 208. On the Moneyline, they’re -102 underdogs, while the Nuggets hold a slim margin as a -118 favorite.

Across six playoff games during this series, the Clippers’ two-way star averages 25.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per contest. He’s shooting an impressive 54.5% from the field overall while also knocking down 39.4% of his attempts from three-point range. He’s not the All-Defense talent he used to be, but Leonard still gets his steals as well with an average of 1.3 per game as he plays the passing lanes.

While not the most exciting way to play Leonard’s lines, his rebounding prop looks like one to target tonight. The over/under sits at 7.5 even though the 6-foot-7 forward has pulled down at least nine boards in four straight games. He’s crashing the glass at a very high level right now, and with his combination of size and strength, Leonard should be positioned to come close to this line again tonight. Sure, Nikola Jokic and Ivica Zubac gobble up boards, but it seems Kawhi grabs the leftovers. With that in mind, over 7.5 rebounds holds intrigue at -120 odds, especially as a builder for the rest of a betting card.

There’s a more exciting option, though. This is a Game 7 we’re talking about, so the Clippers should lean on their stars as much as possible. With that in mind, an alt line of 40+ PTS + REB + AST for Leonard seems like a smash hit at +150 odds. He’s broken that mark in three of six games this series, and with the season on the line, there’s no better time than now for him to do it again.
