How to Bet Nets vs. Clippers Tonight: Expert Betting Picks & NBA Player Props 12/27/21

No Kevin Durant, no Kyrie Irving, no Paul George — this game just got interesting. Both the Nets and Clippers are down a bunch of players due to injury and COVID, so there is no better place than OddsShopper to take advantage of smaller market player props. The tool is 100% free and easy to use, and bettors can sort by expected win rate or expected ROI — which is huge for building your own parlay, or simply figuring out which role player has the best chance of hitting their prop. Nicolas Claxton and Eric Bledsoe should thrive in extended roles thanks to starters like LaMarcus Aldridge and Reggie Jackson sitting out tonight. Both teams have also seen starters sit out for extended periods of time, so there is not a huge learning curve for any role-player.

Nets vs. Clippers NBA Betting Picks + Odds Shopping

The easiest place to find the best bets in the NBA is on the one-stop shop for value and where to place a wager. The best part is the tool is free and easy to use. Simply filter, sort the page and find the best return available across all books.

Nets -3.5 (-110 BetMGM)

Thankfully OddsShopper gives us the ability to shop the best game lines and totals, as well as halves and other plays on the game itself. The best return and play is laying the 3.5-points on the road against a decimated Clippers team. The difference Monday night could easily come down to one team has a superstar — Harden — on the floor, and the other team does not. Everyone from OddsShopper to the books have Harden dropping a little in his assists number, which would easily correlate into more scoring. Not having George and Jackson is one thing, but adding Marcus Morris to the COVID list destroys their front court.

Nicolas Claxton Over 6.5 Rebounds (+100 FanDuel)

OddsShopper just found you a glitch in the matrix. There’s just no way Claxton’s rebound number should be this low — especially with multiple guys around him out for the game — and for an even money return. Claxton has an easy matchup against the Clippers and Ivica Zubac and should benefit from not having Aldridge and Durant on the floor. Awesemo agrees as Awesemo has Claxton projected for just under 10 rebounds. This bet has an expected win rate of 83%, the strongest play for this game. This is a great set of circumstances that may not work in Claxton’s favor for the rest of the season; from COVID to the matchup, let’s take advantage of it.

Nicolas Claxton Single-Game Parlay Over 7.5 rebounds/Over .5 assists (+295 DraftKings)

Claxton’s rebound prop going over the 6.5 is great, so push it one more based on the Awesemo projection of 9.2 boards. The next play is taking the second-highest expected win rate in this game for a single-game parlay. Claxton will be out there an extended amount of time which will put him in more positions to get an assist. The solo assist prop has an expected win rate of 74% for over the 0.5 assists. The problem is laying north of -200 at any book for this to hit. Here is the good news, thanks to OddsShopper you have the ability to combine two separate bets — 1 at 83% and the other at 74% — into a convenient single-game parlay that is nearly a 3-to-1 payout.

Luke Kennard Under 15.5 points (+100 FanDuel)

This is the place to use the depths of OddsShopper combined with Awesemo’s projections to see who truly benefits from not having starters in the rotation. People may rush to slam the over on Luke Kennard’s scoring prop mainly because of no George, Jackson, and even Morris. But that may not be the case according to our own projections, as Awesemo has Kennard finishing in 13.7 range of points. It has a 65% expected win rate but with a solid expected ROI of 27% and the even money return. Kennard is not going to take over a game unless someone gets him involved — like pass him the ball, so this bet fits in nicely with his recent game log. Kennard failed to hit 16 points in 6 of 11 games played so far in December and has not hit double-digit points in two straight games.

Four-Leg Nets Single-Game Parlay (+700 DraftKings)

This bet keeps the two legs from the Claxton parlay from earlier, which plays on his rebounds and assists going over. The Nets moneyline does not require laying the 3.5 points to gain any significant value. The Nets should win this game no matter if they cover by a bucket or not, so it makes sense to add them winning the game. Lastly, OddsShopper has James Harden projected for 26.5 points against the Clippers, using the slider drops the line to 25.5 points without sacrificing any real value. The game flow all makes sense, as the Nets win behind a good scoring night from Harden and a monster night from Claxton on the boards.
