Best James Harden Player Props Bets vs. the Dallas Mavericks
As the Los Angeles Clippers prepare to face the Dallas Mavericks in a crucial Game 6, all eyes are on James Harden. With Kawhi Leonard sidelined, Harden’s performance is pivotal for the Clippers’ playoff hopes. His ability to score, facilitate, and defend will be under the microscope in a game that could either extend the Clippers’ season or send them packing.
James Harden Over 0.5 Steals (-225)
James Harden’s defensive efforts often go unnoticed due to his offensive prowess, but his ability to generate steals is noteworthy, especially in high-stakes games. Statistically, Harden has averaged 1.05 steals per game this season, surpassing the over line of 0.5 steals in 71.43% of games. Moreover, his performance against Dallas specifically has been strong, with a 62.5% hit rate for this prop against them. Despite a slight dip in his last 10 games, Harden’s overall season consistency in generating steals, combined with the high-pressure context of a playoff elimination game, suggests he will be more engaged on defense, increasing the likelihood of him hitting the over for steals.
James Harden Over 0.5 Blocks (-102)
While not as prolific in blocking as in other areas, James Harden’s ability to contribute defensively with blocks should not be underestimated, particularly in a playoff scenario where every possession counts. Harden has averaged 0.81 blocks per game over the season, with a 57.14% hit rate for the over on this prop. Against the Mavericks, his average increases to 1.12 blocks per game, with a 75% hit rate. These statistics, combined with the Clippers’ desperate need for a win to stay in contention, suggest Harden will be more active in contesting shots and protecting the rim. The over on blocks is a calculated bet on Harden’s defensive engagement in a do-or-die game.
