It’s hard to have a series as tight as this Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers showdown. Kawhi Leonard has been at the center of it.
The 33-year-old forward has been in Terminator mode since returning to the lineup in January. He’s scored 20+ points in each of the four playoff contests. After a gut-wrenching buzzer-beating loss in Game 4, Los Angeles will need everything out of its star forward to steal home-court advantage back.
The Clippers enter as 1.5-point road favorites at -130 on the moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook. The total is set at 208.5. Let’s take a look at Leonard’s best bets for tonight.
Best Kawhi Leonard Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Kawhi Leonard Under 25.5 Points Scored (-125)
Leonard has been under this mark in three of four games. His 39-point performance in Game 2 dragged his average up to 26.5 PPG. That also comes with absurd efficiency; Leonard boasts a 56/48/88 shooting line.
The combination of passivity (averaging 18.3 FGA over four games) and an overdue shooting regression will keep Leonard down tonight. This has quietly been a defensive series, and everyone is affected, even the stars. Expect Leonard to nestle in somewhere between 20 and 25 points.
