Best James Harden Player Props Bets vs. Lakers

As the Los Angeles Clippers prepare to face off against the Los Angeles Lakers, all eyes are on James Harden, whose performance has been pivotal in the Clippers’ recent success. Harden’s ability to contribute across the board has been a key factor in the Clippers’ impressive 19-5 run over their last 24 games. With the Lakers struggling and the Clippers looking to maintain their dominance, Harden’s role as a facilitator and scorer will be crucial in this highly anticipated matchup.

James Harden Over 9.5 Assists (-125)

James Harden has been a maestro in the playmaking department, especially in recent games. Over the last 10 games, he’s averaged 10.2 assists, hitting the over on the 9.5 assists line 60% of the time. This uptrend is even more pronounced in the last 5 games, where he’s averaged 11 assists per game, with an 80% hit rate for the over. The Lakers have been defensively inconsistent, which could allow Harden to exploit gaps and set up his teammates effectively. Moreover, with the Clippers’ offense firing on all cylinders and Harden at the helm, there’s a strong likelihood that he’ll continue to rack up high assist numbers, especially in a high-stakes game where his experience and vision will be vital for the Clippers’ success.

James Harden Over 31.5 Points, Rebounds & Assists (-120)

Looking at James Harden’s recent performances, it’s clear that he’s been filling the stat sheet with impressive regularity. His last 10 games have seen him average 33.8 in points, rebounds, and assists combined, comfortably over the line set at 31.5. This is a trend that’s held steady over his last 20 games as well, with a 55% hit rate for the over. The synergy he’s developed with stars like Kawhi Leonard and Paul George means that he’s often involved in most plays, whether he’s scoring, rebounding, or dishing out assists. Against a Lakers team that has been struggling to find their rhythm and has shown defensive vulnerabilities, Harden’s all-around game should shine through, making the over on this prop a compelling pick.
