James Harden player analysis
Based on statistics and information about James Harden’s game last season, we can conclude that Harden was a significant player for the Los Angeles Clippers. He scored an average of 16.6 points per game, making him one of the team’s main offensive players. His solid two-point (42.8%) and three-point (38.1%) shooting percentages, as well as his high free-throw shooting percentage (87.8%), indicate that he was a reliable performer on offense.
In the defensive segment, Harden was also significant, averaging 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. His assist/turnover ratio of 3.27 suggests he was a reliable and effective playmaker.
However, it should be noted that Harden’s game in the first game showed some changes. He scored 28 points, his highest since 29 on March 4, and his third-highest total of the season. Before this game, Harden had scored 20 or more points just three times in 17 previous games, averaging 16.6 points per game on 11.4 field goal attempts. With the return of Kawhi Leonard, it is unlikely that Harden will have the same number of shots as before. Projections for Harden’s points vary between 15.8 and 17.5, while the estimate is 16.9 points. Some traders have already moved the margins by less than 19.5 from -106 to -135, suggesting that there is a trend for Leonard to return. These data indicate a change in the game and expectations of Harden in light of the return of Leonard and his last season. Given these factors, there is a tendency for Harden’s production to decrease, so it would be possible to predict that he will score less than 29.5 points in the next game.
Betting proposal
18.5 points/under (18.5-)
With the return of Kawhi Leonard, who is likely to take on more of the responsibilities on offense, Harden is unlikely to get the same amount of shots as before. The projected number of points for Harden varies between 15.8 and 17.5, while he is estimated at 16.9 points. In addition, some operators have already adjusted the margins to less than 18.5 points from -106 to -135, which indicates a trend towards the return of Leonard and a possible decrease in Harden’s role in the offense.
Given these changes in the game and expectations of Harden, as well as the return of a key player of the team like Leonard, there is a tendency for Harden to score less in the next game. Therefore, my betting suggestion would be for Harden to score less than 18.5 points in the next game.
