Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Clippers vs. Blazers (Fade Amir Coffey, Trust Anfernee Simons)
By Peter Dewey
There won’t be many stars on the floor in Tuesday night’s Los Angeles Clippers-Portland Trail Blazers matchup, as Damian Lillard, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are all expected to be out.
Despite that, there is a ton of value in the prop market with these players out, and I have three picks that I’m considering for this primetime matchup:
Clippers vs. Blazers Best NBA Prop Bets
- Anfernee Simons OVER 23.5 Points
- Amir Coffey UNDER 10.5 Points
- Josh Hart UNDER 7.5 Rebounds
Anfernee Simons OVER 23.5 Points
Anfernee Simons has been dominant without Damian Lillard in the lineup this season.
Simons is averaging 26.6 points per game in his seven games without Dame, and he’s cleared this line four of those games.
The volume is going to be there for Simons, as he’s taken 18 or more shots in six of the seven games that Dame has missed. Even against a tough Clippers defense, the only way to play this prop is by taking the OVER.
Amir Coffey UNDER 10.5 Points
Amir Coffey has seen an expanded role with Leonard and George out of the lineup, but he’s scored more than nine points in just one game all season long.
Coffey hasn’t attempted more than eight shots in a game all season, and now he gets a matchup with a Blazers team that plays at a slow pace (28th in the NBA).
I think there’s some value in taking the UNDER here, as the Clippers still have several wings to get the ball to including Norman Powell, Marcus Morris, Robert Covington and Terance Mann.
Josh Hart UNDER 7.5 Rebounds
Josh Hart has cleared this line in three of his last seven games, but I’m not sold on him getting on the glass against the Clippers tonight.
The Clippers rank 13th in the NBA in rebounding percentage, and both of these teams are in the bottom 11 in the league in pace, meaning there won’t be as many possessions for him to rebound.
Hart can have a good game and grab seven boards, but he’s played 32-plus minutes in each of his last three games and had two games with four or less boards.
