James Harden Over 8.5 Assists (-150)

James Harden has been the primary facilitator for the Clippers, leading the team with an average of 8 assists per game, which places him sixth in the league. His ability to create opportunities for his teammates has been a significant factor in the Clippers’ recent success. Over the last 10 games, Harden has exceeded the assist line of 8.5 in 70% of those matchups, averaging 10 assists per game. This trend suggests that Harden is finding his rhythm in the Clippers’ offensive system, which heavily relies on his playmaking skills. Additionally, with the Suns’ defense ranking 21st in Adjusted Defensive Rating and missing key perimeter defenders, Harden is likely to exploit these weaknesses and distribute the ball effectively, leading to a high probability of him going over the assist line.

James Harden Over 26.5 Points & Assists (-105)

Combining Harden’s scoring with his playmaking gives us the ‘Points & Assists’ prop, where he has been consistently performing well. With a line set at 26.5, Harden’s last 10 games average of 30.2 and a hit rate of 60% for the over indicate that he is more than capable of surpassing this mark. The Clippers’ offense has been elite, ranking second in Offensive Rating, and Harden’s role as a scorer and facilitator will be pivotal against the Suns. Phoenix’s defense has struggled this season, and without Durant, the Suns may find it challenging to contain Harden. His ability to score in various ways, combined with his exceptional assist numbers, makes the over on this prop a compelling pick.
