Advice and prediction
Can’t blame anyone for trying their luck with Nets moneyline on Sunday. The Nets are hot, and seldom will you find that kind of a payout for a Brooklyn win on BetMGM.
However, that’s not the safest bet in this game.
Nba Point Spread
Believe it or not, it’s the over on James Harden’s assists. He’s hit Sunday’s over on BetMGM seven out of nine times this month, including Brooklyn’s with over the Clippers at the start of February. If you’re looking for a better payout, Harden’s rebounds plus assists total is set at 18.5 with the juice on the over set at -115 on BetMGM.
This is a first: the over on Jeff Green’s scoring prop (10.5, -110 O/-115 U) may be worth your time. Whichever one of Patrick Beverley, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard isn’t charged with Harden and Kyrie Irving will have Joe Harris. Green is getting the opportunities on offense (9.7 shots per game, 4.7 of which are from deep) and hit Sunday’s over on BetMGM in three consecutive games before his very quiet night against the Lakers.
Prediction: Clippers 121, Nets 117
