It’s only fitting that Monday night’s star-studded NBA on NBC slate ends in Hollywood, where the Los Angeles Clippers host the Golden State Warriors at the Intuit Dome.
The Warriors (19–17, 8th West) have won six of their last eight games, coming off a 123–114 home victory against the Jazz on Saturday. The Clippers (12-22, 12th West) recently won six straight — their first consecutive victories since the second and third games of the season — but are looking to rebound from a 31-point, Saturday beatdown from the Boston Celtics.
The teams first met on Oct. 28 in San Francisco, where the Warriors rolled to a 98–79 victory.
Tipoff is set for 10 p.m. ET. Golden State enters as a 2.5-point road favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook, while LA is listed as a +120 underdog. The game’s total is set at 225.5 points.
Let’s dig into the top player prop bets for Monday’s matchup between the Warriors and Clippers.
Warriors vs. Clippers Best Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Stephen Curry 5+ Threes (-116)
Calling Stephen Curry the greatest shooter of all time is about as frosty a take as there is, but that doesn’t make it any less true. Even at 37 years old, the all-time threes leader is knocking down 4.8 triples a night, the top mark in the NBA.
The two-time MVP has hit five or more threes in 13 games this season, including each of his last three.
While LA boasted the NBA’s top defensive rating during its six-game heater, the Clippers allowed Boston to shoot 24-for-51 from deep against them on Saturday — a worrying sign against the perimeter powerhouse.
James Harden Under 4.5 Rebounds (-149)
Once a triple-double machine, James Harden hasn’t shown up at the glass-cleaning department in quite some time. The former MVP, listed as questionable for Monday’s contest, is averaging just 4.8 rebounds per game this season — his lowest mark in over a decade.
Harden has pulled down just 3.2 boards a night since the calendar flipped to December, clearing 4.5 rebounds only once in that span — a five-board effort against the Timberwolves on Dec. 6. Don’t expect the trend to shift on Monday night.
Ivica Zubac 11+ Rebounds (+111)
While the Warriors boast one of the NBA’s most formidable defenses, they’ve struggled on the boards throughout the season. Golden State ranks 20th in opponent rebounding and 24th in offensive rebounds — far from ideal against Clippers big man Ivica Zubac.
The veteran seven-footer is averaging 11 rebounds per game, fourth-most in the league, with over three coming on the offensive end. Even in just 21 minutes against the Celtics in his return from injury, Zubac led LA with seven boards.
Expect him to see more minutes Monday night and dominate the glass with at least 11 rebounds.
SGP Odds: +475
