Clippers vs. Mavericks prop bet predictions for Friday

Luka Doncic Over 33.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Can you believe how incredibly talented Doncic is, even though he is having a below-average series by his standards, he is still averaging 32.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 4.5 made 3-pointers in the first two games against the Clippers?

Despite his shooting percentages in the series being below his season averages – 42.3% from the field and 34.6% from beyond the arc – Luka Legend is proving why he deserves his title, while also serving as a reminder to four future hall of famers that retirement may be on the horizon.

As Game 3 approaches, Doncic is ready to maintain his impressive performance against a Clippers team that ranked 17th in regular-season defensive rating (115.4) and gave up the eighth-most points to point guards.

This particular prop bet is also available at -120 odds at our other top sportsbooks, indicating a 54.55% chance of winning based on our odds calculator. With our odds, a $10 bet would result in a $9.26 profit.

The most favorable odds are -108 on FanDuel.

James Harden Over 25.5 points + assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐

James Harden was unexpectedly the key player keeping the Clippers united against the Mavericks. Typically known for appearing tired on the court, Harden may find better defense in the Dallas nightlife than what Jason Kidd’s team has to offer. Despite being 34, we hope Harden will prioritize getting some rest before the game.

Regardless of whether he’s well-rested or sleep-deprived, Harden has seen a significant increase in his usage against Dallas. In the past two games, he has been averaging 25 points and eight assists, while attempting an average of 15.5 field goals and 7.5 free throws.

Harden has proven to be Los Angeles’ most effective weapon against a Dallas defense that gave up an average of 32.8 points and assists to point guards in the 2026-24 season. The odds of -108 suggest a 54.55% chance that he will surpass this mark, with a potential payout of $19.26.

DraftKings offers the best odds at -108.

Ivica Zubac Over 10.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐

Paul George has had inconsistent performances and Leonard struggled in Game 2 against Dallas, but Ivica Zubac has been dominating in the paint. Even though he was never referred to as Zu Alcindor before, it is now a listed nickname for him on Basketball Reference. Perhaps it took this series against the Mavs for the NBA world to realize he is the league’s version of Cream Abdul-Jabbar.

The Dallas team’s rebounding performance is comparable to Mark Cuban’s talent for drawing fines from the NBA. They rank sixth in rebounds allowed per game to opponents (45.1), with centers grabbing 15.01 of those rebounds. Zubac has capitalized on this weakness, averaging 13.5 rebounds per game in the series.

At +102 odds, a $10 bet would pay out $20.20. However, the same proposition is listed at -115 on other top sports betting sites, suggesting a 53.49% chance of hitting the Over.

DraftKings is offering the best odds at +102.
