Mavericks vs. Clippers prop bet predictions for Sunday
Luka Doncic Over 32.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Doncic scores points like he acquires absurd nicknames, especially ones no soul has ever uttered. About as many people call the Mavericks star "El Niño Maravilla" as people do Tom Brady "The Pharaoh."
But call him whatever you want, he put up an NBA-leading 33.9 points during the regular season, and that should carry over against the Clippers.
L.A. is 17th in defensive rating during 2023-24 (115.4), and the team allows the eighth-most points per game to point guards (25.45) and the eighth-most 3-pointers (3.36). Doncic is also playing some of the best basketball of his career, which has put him in the NBA MVP odds race after scoring 33-plus points in 41 of 70 games.
With odds as short as -115, there's a 53.49% implied probability Doncic hits the Over, according to our odds calculator. But the -109 via Caesars leads to a $9.17 profit if he does score at least 33 points.
Best odds: -109 via Caesars

Paul George Over 32.5 points + rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Usually giving yourself a nickname backfires. And while it initially did for Paul George, we're backing "Playoff P" to live up to the hype he created for himself and embrace his alter ego against the Mavericks.
Like the NFL franchise the Mavericks share a city with, it's been a while since Dallas has won anything that matters. And while Jason Kidd's team is favored, its defense - which allows the 11th-most points in the NBA (115.6) - could be an issue against the plethora of All-Stars the Clippers deploy.
No player is in better shape to bring his best than Playoff P with the Mavericks allowing the seventh-most points (24.77), the seventh-most rebounds (10.69), and the sixth-most assists to power forwards (4.64). Even at 33, George averaged 31.3 points, rebounds, and assists during 2023-24.
The -104 odds from FanDuel imply a 50.98% probability he hits the Over with this prop paying out $19.62.
Best odds: -104 via FanDuel

James Harden Over 9.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐
This is a bit of a swing, and not just because the odds only imply a 46.73% probability James Harden hits the Over. You never know what version of Harden you're going to get heading into the playoffs, nor if he's logged a wink of sleep. Still, at 34 "The Beard" continues to dazzle as a playmaker.
While he's a reformed free-throw merchant at this point in his career, Harden is still a capable passer and able to rack up assists. He led the Clippers with 8.5 per game during the regular season, and this Dallas defense allows the ninth-most assists per contest in the NBA (27.5) and the 10th-most to point guards (8.79).
A $10 bet brings in an $11.40 profit At these odds from DraftKings.
