The Oklahoma City Thunder are one win away from sweeping their season series with the Los Angeles Clippers, and they have a favorable matchup with Paul George now out with a knee injury.
George’s injury has shaken up the prop market for this game, but there are still a few ways to take advantage of the Clippers on Thursday.
Let’s jump into my favorite prop plays for this matchup:
Thunder vs. Clippers best NBA prop bets
- Marcus Morris Sr. UNDER 1.5 3-Pointers Made
- Isaiah Joe OVER 10.5 Points
- Russell Westbrook UNDER 31.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists
Marcus Morris Sr. UNDER 1.5 3-Pointers Made
Marcus Morris Sr. should see a bigger role with PG sitting, but I’m still fading him on this prop.
Over his last 11 games, Morris is averaging just 6.4 points per game while shooting 24.2 percent from beyond the arc, making multiple shots from deep in just one of those 11 games.
Morris is still taking three shots from deep per game over that stretch, and he went 1-for-6 from 3 against OKC on Tuesday night. Even with increased volume, Morris is in a slump and is a prime candidate to fade.
Isaiah Joe OVER 10.5 Points
Speaking of shooting slumps, Thunder wing Isaiah Joe may have broken out of his, clearing this line in three straight games while shooting 8-for-20 from beyond the arc (40.0 percent).
A sharpshooter. Joe’s points are going to depend on his 3-point stroke, but he’s seen some solid volume as of late, taking double-digit shots in two consecutive games.
Joe could have a night where he scored five points or one where he goes for 20. When he’s shooting well, he’s a value at anything around 10 points.
Russell Westbrook UNDER 31.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists
Russell Westbrook should have the ball a little more on Thursday night with George sidelined, but I think this line is a bit of an overreaction.
Russ has cleared this number just twice in his time with the Clippers, one in a game where he scored 27 points and the other in a 176-175 loss to the Sacramento Kings in overtime.
Since coming to the Clippers, Westbrook is averaging 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game. This jump for his PRA prop with George out is just too much for me to take the OVER.
