Under 10.5 Assists (-106, FanDuel)
The Nets’ Christmas Day matchup marked Harden’s return to the court for the first time in 15 days after he was forced to sit out due to health and safety protocols. “The Running Beard” certainly was impressive in posting a triple-double line. That said Harden still fell just short of eclipsing tonight’s NBA player props line of 10.5 assists. While his playmaking figures to be vital again tonight, the Clippers have been a much tougher defensive team than their crosstown rivals this season. Furthermore, the betting line is nearly one full assist more than the 9.6 Harden has averaged per game this season.
Awesemo’s projections peg Harden for 9.42 assists in this tough matchup. OddsShopper currently shows that the optimal -106 odds offer 14 cents better value than all other competing sportsbooks. At that price point, this under prediction has a healthy expected ROI of 28%.

Under 28.5 Points (-106, FanDuel)
While Harden did just pile up 36 points on Christmas against the Lakers, the tough defense of the Clippers once again factors into projecting him under 28.5 points tonight. Los Angeles comes into Monday’s matchup allowing just 104.7 points per game, the fifth fewest in the NBA. The absence of fellow Nets scoring threats figures to translate to more shot attempts for Harden. Then again, exceeding his own per-game scoring average by the 7.6 points needed to clear the NBA player props line will not be easy.
Adding to the intrigue on this under prediction is the fact that OddsShopper shows the majority of the NBA betting market listing this prop 1 full point lower at 27.5 With a projection for 26.57 points, Awesemo gives this Harden prop bet a favorable expected ROI of 19%.
Under 8.5 Rebounds (+100, DraftKings)
We round out a trifecta of under predictions for tonight’s Harden NBA player props by looking at the rebounding total of 8.5. Of course, Harden had double-digit boards in his first game back on Saturday. However, he only comes in averaging 8.0 per game on the full season. One of the intriguing factors about betting the under are the even-money odds displayed by OddsShopper. Not only does this price offer up to 25 cents better value than those at other sportsbooks, but it provides a greater potential return as well. While Awesemo only gives the under a 53% chance of winning, the favorable price results in a small positive ROI of 6%.
