76ers Player Prop: James Harden OVER 10.5 Assists (-126)
Joel Embiid has been dominant all season, especially in January, averaging 34.6 points and 10 rebounds in the five games he has played this month. And while James Harden hasn’t been grabbing as many headlines as his star teammate, he has also been playing great, averaging 26.3 points over his last three games.
Harden has also been racking up assists with 12.6 per game over his last six outings. He has recorded at least 11 assists in each of his last six games and recorded a season-high 21 in Philadelphia’s last game against the Clippers. All signs point to another game of 11 assists or more for Harden in this spot.
Clippers Player Prop: Ivica Zubac UNDER 8.5 Rebounds (-113)
Ivica Zubac leads the Clippers in rebounds and ranks eighth in the NBA, averaging 10.3 boards per game. The 25-year-old center is a beast on the glass when he’s on his game, but he can be a bit streaky. And he’s currently in a bit of a rebounding slump with seven rebounds or less in seven of his last eight games.
The 76ers aren’t a strong rebounding team, but they also don’t give up many rebounds, ranking ninth in the NBA in rebounds allowed at 42.8 per game. Zubac is always capable of going off for a big game on the boards, but his recent form suggests he’ll land UNDER this posted total.
