James Harden has settled into a productive role with the Los Angeles Clippers, averaging 20.9 points, 9.2 assists and 7.7 rebounds across his first nine games.
As the Clippers host the Raptors on Saturday, Harden will aim to build on his recent performance of 22 points and eight assists in a win against the Kings. With Kawhi Leonard out and Paul George in Philadelphia, Harden’s contributions are crucial for a team looking to extend its winning streak to four games.
Here are the best Harden prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Saturday’s matchup:
Best James Harden Prop Bets
Points 23.5 (Over -105 / Under -125): Harden’s scoring line is 23.5, with both sides offering attractive options. Averaging 20.9 points per game this season, he has the potential to hit the over with his increased offensive role. However, the under could be worth considering, given his tendency to distribute the ball more heavily, especially with Norman Powell producing at such an impressive level.
Rebounds 6.5 (Over +126 / Under -162): With a rebounding line of 6.5, the Over is set at +126, giving value to those expecting a well-rounded performance from Harden. Averaging 7.7 rebounds this season, he has shown consistent activity on the boards. Yet, the Under could be appealing as he may focus more on playmaking.
Assists 9.5 (Over -115 / Under -115): Harden’s assists line of 9.5 is set evenly for both the Over and Under. Given his 9.2 assists average, the Over holds value if he continues to take on a playmaking role, especially with Leonard sidelined. The Under could come into play if Powell or Ivica Zubac handle more of the offensive burden.
Threes 2.5 (Over -130 / Under +100): With his three-point line set at 2.5, the Over at -130 reflects Harden’s reliable perimeter shooting. Hitting multiple threes has been common for Harden this season, making the Over a popular choice. The Under might appeal to those expecting a more balanced approach from Harden, favoring drives and mid-range shots.
Points + Rebounds 29.5 (Over -110 / Under -120): A combined line of 29.5 for points and rebounds highlights Harden’s all-around ability. Given his current averages totaling 28.6 across these categories, the Over could appeal to those expecting a high-usage game. The Under is viable for those anticipating a balanced scoring distribution among the Clippers.
Double-Double (-150) and Triple-Double (+1000): Harden’s knack for reaching double-digits in multiple categories makes the double-double at -150 a solid choice for bettors. For those looking for a higher payout, the triple-double at +1000 is enticing. While rare, Harden’s versatility keeps this option within reach, especially if he balances his scoring, assists and rebounding.
