The Phoenix Suns can close out the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the playoffs in Game 5 in Phoenix.
With Kawhi Leonard’s status still up in the air for this game, I have two player props that I’m considering instead of betting a side.
Let’s break them down:
Clippers vs. Suns best NBA prop bets
- Ivica Zubac UNDER 18.5 Points and Rebounds
- Kevin Durant OVER 41.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists
Ivica Zubac UNDER 18.5 Points and Rebounds
Other than a strong Game 1 where he grabbed 15 rebounds and scored 12 points, Ivican Zubac has struggled to clear this number against the Suns.
Since that matchup Zubac has just 14, 14 and 13 points and rebounds, and he’s seen his minutes decrease as well.
I can’t trust him to to over this number on the road, especially if Leonard does come back, as there will be less shots to go around.
Kevin Durant OVER 41.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists
Kevin Durant has cleared this line in just two of the four games in this series, but he’s been stuffing the stat sheet overall.
KD has at least 25 points, six rebounds and five assists in every game in this series, and he’s averaging 27.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 6.8 dimes for the series.
The Clippers lack options to defend KD’s size with Leonard out, and the former MVP has shown he can be a willing and effective passer when doubled this series.
Since it’s hard to predict where he thrives exactly each night, I’ll take the OVER for him to do it all on Tuesday.
