Best NBA Players Props Tonight – OKC vs. HOU

James Harden Prop Bets: 37+ Points (+112)

With the series on the line, Harden isn’t going to play around anymore. He only hit 3-of-11 three-pointers in Game 6. In fact, he really hasn’t shot that well from three-point range in the series. Harden is just shooting just 34.1 percent from behind the arc.

That is going to change tonight. In a deciding Game 7, Harden is going to take command of the Rockets offense and put up more than 37. Remember, he scored 37 in Game 1 and 38 in Game 3.

James Harden Prop Bets: 6+ 3-Point FGs Made (+154)

Sticking with the theory that Harden is going to go off in Game 7, he’s going to bury a bunch of threes. He made six three-pointers each in Games 1 and 4. Again, with the series on the line, Harden comes up big and hits a bunch – six or more – three-pointers in Game 7.

Player Performance Double Props at BetOnline

So, if we’re betting on a big game from Harden, we might as well double down. Harden is going to put on a show and score a lot. His scoring comes from the number of three-pointers that he attempts in each game.

Therefore, we will take a crack at this NBA player performance prop: Harden will have 5+ three-point field goals and Houston will win. With Harden leading the charge, this bet pays out at +135.

Chris Paul Prop Bets: 37+ Pts+Reb+Ast (+110)

Not to be outdone by Harden, OKC’s Paul will do his best to keep the Thunder in Game 7. Paul has kept his team in the series by averaging 21.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game.

In this NBA player prop prediction, we’re betting Paul comes through with a huge game and totals 37 or more combined points, rebounds, and assists. He did so in Game 6 when he scored 28 points, had seven rebounds, and three assists.

He has hit 37+ three times during this series. Like Harden, Paul doesn’t want to go home and will fight to the end. That’s good news for bettors betting this player prop.

Eric Gordon Prop Bets: 23+ Pts+Reb+Ast (-110)

Yes, the odds are -110, but Gordon is good for 23 points, rebounds, and assists combined. He has hit at least 23 in all but Game 6. Gordon was just off in the Rockets’ loss to the Thunder on Monday.

He made just one three-pointer and shot 3-of-12 from the field to finish with nine points. Gordon played 35 minutes and was just bad. That isn’t going to happen again given what Gordon accomplished in the first five games of the series.

There will also be a bunch of NBA game props, such as the Race to 20 Points prop, to bet on tonight at BetOnline.
