Chris Paul Over 4.5 Rebounds (SugarHouse, DraftKings)

All signs point to Suns point guard Chris Paul making his return to the lineup after a two-game absence tonight. It’s hard to doubt that Paul will hold anything back in Game 3. After all, Phoenix has a chance to all but claim their spot in the NBA Finals with a victory tonight. The line for Paul’s total rebounds matches his season-long average of 4.5 exactly. With plus-money odds being offered on the over, that is the direction to go.

Paul’s monster series against the Nuggets in Round 2 stretched far beyond his scoring. With the lone exception being the Game 4 clincher, Paul exceeded tonight’s prop line of 4.5 boards in each of the other three games. At 36 years of age, he knows as well as anyone that his hopes of winning a title may very well come down to this very season. After being sidelined for the last two games, look for Paul to come back with a vengeance.

Paul George Over 5.5 Assists (FanDuel)

Paul George has had a phenomenal postseason from a statistical standpoint. With Kawhi Leonard sidelined, George has been forced to carry an even greater burden in each of the last four games, particularly on offense. Such will remain the case tonight, as the Clippers find themselves in a virtual must-win situation. The NBA betting odds have George’s assist total set at 5.5 ahead of Game 3. With plus-money odds to the over, bettors should strongly consider including it among their picks.

The Awesemo NBA Player Props Tool projects George to finish with exactly 5.83 assists tonight. While that’s not a huge advantage over the line, it is still a positive discrepancy. In the last four games in which the Clippers have been without Leonard, George has either exceeded or fallen just shy of this total every time. He has gone over twice, including Game 2 of this series, in which he dished out six assists. In the two games he fell short, he finished with five dimes exactly. If Los Angeles is going to climb back in this series tonight, George is going to have to go off. While scoring is certainly priority No. 1, he will also have to be a facilitator. A plus-money profit could be in store by betting this prop over.

Luke Kennard Under 6.5 Points (FanDuel)

After playing just eight total minutes in Game 1, Luke Kennard saw 19 on Tuesday night. He rounded out the shortlist of four Clippers players who scored in double figures, finishing with 10 points. Although his season-long scoring average sits at 8.3 points per game, it is also worth noting that he played just shy of 20 minutes on average this year. It has been a very different story throughout the playoffs. Most nights, Kennard hasn’t topped more than 12 minutes of game action. Assuming his minutes revert to that level tonight, exceeding the NBA player props line of 6.5 total points will be a challenge. Bettors should look to include a prediction that he finishes under among their betting picks.
