Mavericks vs. Clippers prop bet predictions for Wednesday

James Harden Over 29.5 points + assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Did Harden acquire a pair of old sneakers inscribed with the initials "MJ"? Or did he just stop spending evenings before playoff games at local establishments? Either way, he's been the catalyst for the Clippers' offense against Dallas, and the main reason this series is tied heading into Game 5.

Harden is playing over 40 minutes per game and has been an assassin from deep, going 17-for-34 (50%) while averaging 26 points and seven assists. The 2018 MVP has topped 29.5 combined points and assists in three of four games while exposing a lackluster Mavs defense.

With Dallas allowing 32.72 regular-season points and assists per game to point guards and with Harden's play thus far, we're jumping on this price from DraftKings. These odds imply a 51.92% probability he hits the Over, according to our odds calculator, with a $10 bet paying out $19.26.

Luka Doncic to record a triple-double ⭐⭐⭐

As Harden does a Michael Jordan impression, Doncic has looked more like Jordan Poole with his 3-point shooting against the Clippers. But Doncic is still managing to put up ridiculous numbers even while shooting just 26.3% from distance. Maybe he's been wearing a pair of Russell Westbrook's old sneakers?

Shooting woes aside, Doncic is playing an absurd amount of minutes (43.3). Coming off his first triple-double of the series, we're siding with him logging another. He was just one assist shy of a triple-double during Game 3, and Doncic is averaging 29 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 8.5 assists through four games.

Doncic posted 21 triple-doubles over 70 regular-season games (30%) while nearly averaging one for the season (33.9/9.8/9.2). These odds only imply a 26.32% probability he records a triple-double, and a $10 wager would net a $28 profit.

Kyrie Irving Over 3.5 made 3-pointers ⭐⭐⭐

Just when it looked like the Mavericks would turn in a playoff performance similar to the football team they share a city with, Kyrie Irving snapped. He saved the Mavs from the Clippers walking over them, even if it was a losing effort.

Irving was spectacular in Game 4 with 40 points and six made 3-pointers. This Clippers defense can't slow him down from behind the arc, where he's going 4-for-8.3 (48.5%) per game in the series. Los Angeles allowed 6.64 made threes per contest to guards during the regular season. Doncic isn't taking advantage, but Irving sure is so far.

This same prop is as short as +106 at our other best sportsbooks, implying a 48.54% probability Irving makes at least four 3-pointers. But at our price, a $10 bet pays out $22.

Best odds: +120 via DraftKings
