Devin Booker fell short of his assist prop in his first game against the Clippers this year, recording 7 assists out of 13 potential assists. The Suns were heavily defeated in that game, losing by 27 points which limited his playing time to 26 minutes. Despite that, Booker nearly met the prop under difficult circumstances.
The Clippers have proven to be a favorable matchup for point guards in assist props this season. They allow the fourth-most assists specifically to point guards and rank fifth overall in assists allowed. Except for Booker, all five other point guards facing the Clippers have exceeded their assist props.
"The Clippers are a bottom nine defense defending spot ups and off-screen play types, which are both assisted plays."
Since missing his prop in the first three games, Booker has surpassed it in three of the last five games with totals of 10, 9, and 13 assists. He is forecasted to reach 8 assists tonight.
With James Harden and Kawhi Leonard absent, the Clippers will rely on others to step up. John Collins is expected to take on a larger role tonight. However, this comes with risk as Collins has yet to meet his prop in any game this season.
"It is an entirely different situation without two of the Clippers highest usage players not playing tonight."
Devin Booker has a strong chance to meet his assist prop tonight against the Clippers, who struggle defending point guards, while John Collins faces pressure to fill the gap left by missing Clippers stars.
Author’s note: Booker's evolving performance and the Clippers’ lineup changes are key factors shaping tonight’s NBA prop bets.
