The Los Angeles Clippers and the San Antonio Spurs face off in Thursday’s NBA action. Several player props are drawing attention, with Underdog Fantasy highlighting some potentially valuable plays.
Wembanyama’s Scoring Prop
Victor Wembanyama of the Spurs is coming off two impressive scoring performances, both of 41 points against the Golden State Warriors and the Chicago Bulls. Despite these performances, taking the under on his 25.5 points prop on Thursday could be a strong play.
The Clippers have been defensively sound this season, allowing the 10th fewest points per game, at 112.5. Wembanyama has only exceeded 26 points once in his last three games against the Clippers.
Garland’s Scoring Potential
Darius Garland of the Clippers has been scoring well recently, hitting 20 or more points in three of his last four games. However, similar to Wembanyama, the under on his scoring prop might be the right move on Thursday.
The Spurs have been a strong defensive team this season, allowing the eighth fewest points per game in the league, at 111.5. Over their last three games, they have given up just 107.3 points per game. Garland has only scored 20 or more points once in his last seven games against the Spurs.
Leonard’s Rebounding Prospects
Kawhi Leonard has secured seven or more rebounds in each of his last three games. However, given the Spurs’ strength on the boards, he might struggle to reach the over on his 6.5 rebounding prop line on Thursday.
San Antonio is allowing the ninth fewest rebounds per game this season, at 51.5. In their last three games, they are giving up just 44.0. Leonard has recorded seven or more rebounds in one of two games against the Spurs this season. Across his last eight career games against them, he has only reached that mark once.
Fox’s Assist Opportunity
De’Aaron Fox of the Spurs should be able to cover the over on his 5.5 assists line with ease.
The Clippers have been relatively stingy in allowing assists, with an average of 26.2 per game, the 11th lowest in the NBA. However, Fox has been effective as a playmaker against them this season, recording six and nine assists in two games.
Champagne’s 3-Point Shooting
Julian Champagne of the Spurs has made three or more 3-pointers in four of his last five games. His consistency in covering the over on his 2.5 made 3-pointers prop could continue against the Clippers.
Los Angeles has struggled to defend the 3-point line in their last three games. Over this stretch, they are tied for allowing the second-most made threes per game in the NBA, at 17.0. Champagne has made three or more 3-pointers in one of two games against the Clippers this season.
Thursday’s game between the Clippers and Spurs presents several intriguing player prop opportunities for fans and fantasy players alike.
