Clippers vs Hawks Player Prop Bets – Trae Young Over 26.5 Points (-110)
Trae Young has been in stellar form lately, which is the biggest reason for Atlanta’s four-game winning streak. Young scored 30+ points in four of the last five games, and the only time he failed to score 30+ he dropped 26.
Additionally, in three of the previous four outings, Young logged around 42 minutes. I expect him to have a massive workload tonight against the Clippers as well. Trae has been deadly from the perimeter in the last three games; he made even 20 three-pointers in that stretch!
His direct matchup is James Harden, who is not a good defender, so Young has another strong chance to go for 30+ points. The Clippers allow 23.7 ppg to the opposing point guards this season, but Atlanta has one of the best offenses in the NBA, so I expect a lot of points from the Hawks and Young to lead them in scoring.
James Harden Over 9.5 Assists (+100)
For the second pick in the Clippers vs Hawks Player Prop Bets, I have another point guard. I love backing James Harden this season. Last night, I backed him to combine for over 24.5 points and assists, and he fully delivered with 32 PTS and AST combined. Harden is the team’s best assist-maker with 8.5 apg this season, so I usually back him in that segment instead of points.
That’s because Harden had some duds recently. He finished two of the last five games with single-digit points, so it’s better to focus on the assists. When it comes to dimes, The Beard registered 10+ in five of the previous eight outings.
The Hawks allow 28.7 apg this season, while they allow 9.5 apg to the opposing point guards. Considering that Harden was hot and cold in scoring recently, I believe he will score below 20 tonight, but his assists should come, as usual.
