Recent performance might give some hope to Clippers' fans.

The Thunder, fresh off a 113-105 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, will look to continue their impressive run.

For those interested in player prop markets, James Harden's Points and Assists are drawing attention and may be worth considering. This prop is currently popular among bettors, especially with its price set at Under 28.5 Points and Assists (-120). Sharp bettors seem to believe there’s value in the Under, suggesting that this line might be mispriced given Harden’s recent performance.
