We begin the NBA action on Sunday, February 4, with an interesting inter-conference tilt, so make sure to check out the Clippers vs Heat Player Prop Bets. The Los Angeles Clippers are searching for the eighth win in nine games, while the Miami Heat look to secure the third consecutive victory.
Clippers vs Heat Player Prop Bets – Bam Adebayo Over 32.5 Points, Assists, and Rebounds (-120)
Bam Adebayo averages 20.5 ppg, 10.6 rpg, and 4.1 apg this season. He also averages a team-high 34.8 minutes per game. After going through a rough four-game stretch, during which he failed to combine for more than 31 PTS, AST, and REB, Adebayo registered 35 PTS, AST, and REB in a most recent win against the Wizards.
The last time he met the Clippers, Adebayo had 21 points, 15 rebounds, and four assists, and I am hoping for a similar outcome on Sunday. The Clippers allow 20.8 ppg, 14.2 rpg, and 4.7 apg to the opposing centers this year.
Both the Clippers and Heat have top-10 defenses, so I expect a lot of strong D and missed shots in this one. That would give Adebayo a solid opportunity for 10+ rebounds; he had 11+ boards in six of the previous seven games. In 13 career games against the Clippers, Adebayo averaged 18.8 ppg, 9.6 rpg, and 3.8 apg. Adebayo’s 18.8 ppg vs. Clippers is his best record against any team in the NBA.
James Harden Over 24.5 Points and Assists (-110)
James Harden is coming off his worst game in the Clippers uniform and one of the worst of his career. Although Los Angeles met the weakest team in the NBA, Detroit, Harden finished with four points (1-10 from the field) and six assists in 34 minutes on the floor.
I fully expect The Beard to bounce back in this game and return to his usual production on offense. For the season, Harden averages 16.9 ppg and a team-high 8.5 apg. He combined for 25+ PTS and AST in four of the last seven games, registering 10+ dishes in each of those four.
In the latest H2H against Miami, Harden posted 15 points and 10 assists. In 43 career games against the Heat, Harden averaged 22.3 ppg and 7.1 apg. The Heat allows 23.5 ppg and 9.1 apg to the opposing point guards this season.
I strongly believe both of the Clippers vs Heat Player Prop Bets will be winners. We have more NBA prop picks for Sunday, February 4, so make sure to read the Rockets vs Timberwolves Player Prop Bets.
