Friday Best Prop
Week 1-1 (30-21)
Been a couple of days since we had a Best Bet with Zion ruled out late and then nothing I liked last night. Nice 10-game slate tonight to make it two wins in a row.
Clippers @ Pistons
James Harden Over 8.5 Assists
Harden gets an absolute smash spot tonight against a Pistons defense allowing the most assists in the league to point guards. They're giving up over 10.5 per game to PGs over the last 15 games and Harden is averaging 9.6 assists per game in the past month. Harden's role is amazing on this Clippers team. He leads the team in touch time with 7.2 minutes per game, miles ahead of Kawhi in second at 3.3 minutes per game. That role has propelled Harden to 5th in the league for assists this season, averaging 8.5 per game from 13.7 potential assists. In Harden's last two games against the Pistons he had 15 and 11 assists in just 26 and 28 minutes. He's playing over 34 minutes per game this month and if this game stays relatively close I am very confident he covers 8.5 assists.
Summary:
James Harden Over 8.5 Assists
Odds are currently -145 on bet365. If you don't want to take the juice, I still like him for 10+/ Over 9.5 assists at +115.
