James Harden Over 2.5 three-pointers made (-159) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Although the -159 price tag is higher than most props I bet, Harden has cleared this total in three straight games, making it my top NBA best bet for today’s matchup.

The 11-time All-Star has made four 3-pointers in each of his last three games, attempting ten or more shots from beyond the arc twice during that span. Over a larger sample, Harden has cashed this prop in five of his last six games, with the lone outlier being a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, when an unusually large portion of his offense came from the free-throw line (15 attempts).

Kevin Durant Over 23.5 points (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Durant has scored 24 or more points in nine of his last ten games, including each of his last four.

While he only scored 16 points against the Clippers in their Dec. 11 meeting, he shot an uncharacteristically low 5-for-14 from the field (35.7%).

Durant is shooting 52.6% from the field through nine December games - including 51.1% from beyond the arc - so another poor shooting night seems unlikely, despite the strong defensive projection for the Clippers before the season began (they’re ranked 25th in defensive efficiency).

Kawhi Leonard Over 2.5 three-pointers made (+142) ⭐⭐⭐

Leonard is coming off a performance in which he drained four 3-pointers, and he has attempted 10 or more shots from deep in two of his last four games.

The Clippers forward went 3-for-10 from beyond the arc against the Rockets on Dec. 11. While 30% is underwhelming for a 39.1% career 3-point shooter, it shows he was getting plenty of good looks from deep - something that should happen again today.
