Clippers vs. Mavericks prop bet predictions for Friday

Luka Doncic Over 33.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Do you understand how face-meltingly talented Doncic is to be producing a subpar series by his standards and still be averaging 32.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 4.5 made 3-pointers through two games against the Clippers?

Even though he's shooting below his season averages in the series - 42.3% from the floor and 34.6% from three - Luka Legend is living up to his title while reminding four future hall of famers that retirement is near.

Heading into Game 3, Doncic is poised to continue putting up impressive numbers against a Clippers team that was just 17th in regular-season defensive rating (115.4) and allowed the eighth-most points to point guards.

This same prop is as short as -120 at our other best sportsbooks, implying a 54.55% probability it hits, according to our odds calculator. At our odds though, a $10 wager leads to a $9.26 profit.

Best odds: -108 via FanDuel

James Harden Over 25.5 points + assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nobody expected James Harden to be the glue holding the Clippers together against the Mavericks. Normally, he's the one everybody expects to look like he's playing on no sleep. While the Dallas nightlife may be a better defense for the Beard than what Jason Kidd is rolling out, we're choosing to believe that at 34 Harden will make sure he's getting at least a few hours of sleep before the game.

Sleep or no sleep, Harden has been enjoying a major uptick in his usage against Dallas. He's averaging 25 points and eight assists through two games while taking 15.5 field goals and 7.5 free throws.

Harden has been Los Angeles' best weapon against a Dallas defense that allowed a combined 32.8 points and assists to point guards during 2023-24. The -108 odds imply a 54.55% probability he hits the Over, with this wager paying out $19.26.

Best odds: -108 via DraftKings

Ivica Zubac Over 10.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐

While Paul George has been streaky and Leonard endured a less than impactful performance in Game 2 against Dallas, Ivica Zubac has been a force inside. Despite nobody ever calling him Zu Alcindor before, it's a listed nickname for him at Basketball Reference. Maybe the NBA world just needed this series against the Mavs to recognize he's the league's Cream Abdul-Jabbar. 

This Dallas team is as bad at rebounding as Mark Cuban is good at getting the NBA to fine him. The Mavericks allow the sixth-most rebounds per game to opponents (45.1), and 15.01 go to centers. Zubac has taken advantage while averaging 13.5 rebounds per game in the series.

Our +102 odds pay out $20.20 on a $10 bet. But this same prop is -115 at our other best sports betting sites, implying a 53.49% probability he hits the Over.

Best odds: +102 via DraftKings
