You can thank Harden for this bet because his presence in the Clippers' lineup for the first time is being felt in the player props for George, Kawhi Leonard, and Russell Westbrook as our best sports betting apps try to adjust their props while these players are on the court together for the first time.
George typically trades with an assists prop of 4.5, and if it's at 5.5, it's usually at plus money. Not only did we see George's total drop down to 3.5 because of Harden, but the Over is trading at +135. That's a significant move, especially for a player who will still be one of the focal points for the Clippers' offense. The Clippers aren't going to make George stand in the corner just because they have Harden on the team now.
George is projected to have 3.8 assists on Monday against the Knicks, which allows us to price the Over 3.5 assists at -108, but it is available at bet365 at +135. You can see how the projection for George is also lower with Harden in the lineup, but the key here is the +135 we are being offered on the Over. This number provides us with a nice edge that we should exploit.
