Top NBA Player Props Picks: James Harden, Clippers Under 20.5 Points (-104)

James Harden has fallen short of this line in 3 of his last 5 games while landing on 21 points in one of the other two games.

Harden has already played the Oklahoma City Thunder twice this season and he only scored 12 and 17 points, extending the streak to four straight head-to-head games with 17 points or less.

It makes sense considering the Thunder allow the 4th fewest points to opposing point guards with only 22.4 points per game. Opposing point guards have gotten the “Lou Dort treatment” as Oklahoma City has held five straight starters to 16 points or less.

The Thunder have an elite defense in general as they rank #1 in defensive rating while holding opponents to the fewest points with 103.3 per game.

I strongly considered Points + Assists, but I could see a few extra dimes from Harden as he’s forced into passing situations. With a spread of -9.5 and a total of 218, points will be at a premium with the potential for a blowout limiting minutes.

Top NBA Player Props Picks: Gary Trent Jr, Bucks Over 1.5 Three-Pointers (-130)

Gary Trent Jr has recorded 2+ three-pointers in 4 of his last 5 games and 19 of 26 games when playing 18+ minutes while averaging 2.2 made threes per game.

Trent Jr is already a perfect 3/3 in head-to-head games against the Brooklyn Nets this season with 2, 3 and 2 three-pointers. Brooklyn allows the 3rd most three-pointers (3.9/game) and the 3rd highest three-point percentage (35.2%) to opposing shooting guards.

Trent Jr hits the majority of his long-distance shots in catch & shoot scenarios and the Nets rank 28th in defending spot up shooters.

The spread is -14 but Brooklyn has been competitive against Milwaukee this season, winning 2 of 3 games and only losing by five in their lone loss.

Trent Jr played 28, 25 and 22 minutes in those three games and that should be plenty of time for him to bury 2+ shots from beyond the arc.
