James Harden Over 3.5 three-pointers made (+158) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After going 2 of 12 from beyond the arc over his last two games, now is the time to buy low on Harden - a career 36.3% 3-point shooter.

Before Harden’s recent slump, he made four 3-pointers in three of his previous six games from Dec. 11-28. The last time Harden made two or fewer 3-pointers in back-to-back games, he responded by going 5 of 14 from beyond the arc in a win over the Atlanta Hawks on Dec. 3.

Meanwhile, our Shane Thurston breaks down why he's fading Harden with his NBA player props tonight.

Jaylen Brown Over 28.5 points (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brown continues to exceed expectations as Boston's No. 1 option on offense.

He has cashed this prop in 10 of 11 games since the beginning of December, averaging 53.8% from the field and 42.6% from beyond the arc last month. The Celtics star scored 33 points against the Clippers - despite going just 1 of 7 from 3-point range - when he faced them on Nov. 16. Brown attempted 33 field goals in that outing, and it's unlikely that he shoots that poorly from beyond the arc again today.

Kawhi Leonard Over 28.5 points (-112) ⭐⭐⭐

I hope no one was under the impression that Leonard was washed. If so, they’re in for a rude awakening. The two-time NBA Finals MVP has scored 33 or more points in three straight games, including a 55-point outing in a home win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday.

There are several ways to play Leonard tonight, with a ladder bet standing out as a strong option, as he has scored 41 or more points in three of his last five games. Leonard’s 3-pointers prop is also worth considering, as he has made five or more in three straight games.
