Devin Booker and Assist Props
Devin Booker went under his assist prop in his first game against the Clippers this season, recording 7 assists on 13 potential assists. The Suns were blown out by 27 points, limiting Booker's playing time to 26 minutes, yet he nearly hit his assist number despite these conditions.
Clippers' Matchup for Point Guard Assists
The Clippers have been favorable matchups for point guard assist props this year. They rank fourth in allowing assists specifically to point guards and fifth overall for assists allowed. Excluding Booker’s missed prop, every other point guard has gone over their assist prop against the Clippers this season.
"The Clippers are a bottom nine defense defending spot ups and off-screen play types, which are both assisted plays."
Booker’s Recent Performance
Booker missed his assist prop in the first three games but has exceeded it in three of the last five, including games with 10, 9, and 13 assists. He is expected to reach 8 assists tonight.
Key Clippers Player Absences and Impact
With James Harden and Kawhi Leonard absent, the Clippers need someone to step up, likely John Collins. Though Collins has not met his prop this season yet, the absence of two key players changes the dynamics for tonight’s game.
"This play is not without risks, as Collins has yet to hit this prop in any game this season, but it is an entirely different situation without two of the Clippers highest usage players not playing tonight."
Author's summary: The Clippers’ matchup favors point guard assist props, with Booker expected to bounce back and John Collins potentially stepping up amid key player absences tonight.
