The Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Clippers are both in the play-in tournament picture in their respective conferences heading into Wednesday’s matchup.
There are a bunch of stars in action for this game and plenty of prop bets to consider placing because of it. With the Clippers losing seven of their last 10, I’d much rather attack this game from the player prop market anyway, so let’s dive into the best picks for Wednesday night:
Raptors vs. Clippers best NBA prop bets
- OG Anunoby UNDER 19.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists
- Kawhi Leonard OVER 3.5 Assists
- Gary Trent Jr. OVER 13.5 Points
OG Anunoby UNDER 19.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists
OG Anunoby was one of the hottest names at the trade deadline, but he’s cooled off considerably as the season has gone on after a really solid start.
Anunoby has failed to score OVER 13.5 points in eight of his last 10 games, and he’s also gone UNDER 4.5 rebounds in eight of his last 10. That leads me to the UNDER on his PRA prop against Los Angeles.
The Raptors forward has failed to clear this line in four of his last seven games, and if he has a low-scoring night, he’s almost guaranteed to go UNDER. There are a lot of mouths to feed in Toronto, and OG isn’t one of the primary options, taking just 10.6 shots per game since returning from injury.
Fade him tonight.
Kawhi Leonard OVER 3.5 Assists
This is a sneaky prop for Kawhi Leonard, who isn’t exactly looked at as a playmaker. However, he’s been that and then some for the Clippers as of late.
Over his last 14 games, Leonard has at least four assists in 11 of them, averaging 4.1 dimes per game.
The Raptors are likely going to throw Anunoby (a very solid defender) on Leonard, so he may be inclined to get his teammates involved early and often on Wednesday night.
Gary Trent Jr. OVER 13.5 Points
There may not be a more volatile Raptor to bet on than Gary Trent Jr., especially since he’s been moved to the bench.
Over his last four games off the bench, Trent is averaging 15.5 points per game, scoring 19, four, 26 and 13 points.
He’s all over the map, but he’s also averaging 18.2 points per game for the season. This is a low enough number for me to take the OVER, especially since Trent Jr.’s shots haven’t taken too much of a hit (11.8 per game over his last four).
