I’m fading James Harden and Ochai Agbaji when the Toronto Raptors play the Los Angeles Clippers tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> L.A. is on the second leg of a back-to-back and that’s part of the reason I expect Harden to go under his 3-point total. Agbaji, meanwhile, has carved out an interesting role for himself but gets a tough matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet: Harden under 2.5 threes (+100)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A decade ago, taking the under on a Harden 3-point line like this would be crazy. Now, not so much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The veteran’s 35.2% usage rate is his highest since the 2019-20 season but he’s shooting a horrible 30.1% from deep, which is on pace to be the worst mark of his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toronto isn’t a great defensive team and allows opponents to shoot a middling 35.8% from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But most of the damage done against the Raptors from deep comes from the corner. According to Cleaning the Glass, Toronto allows opponents to shoot 46.2% on corner threes (29th in the NBA) and 33.0% from non-corner threes (fifth in the NBA). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harden absolutely hates taking corner threes and has only attempted one all season compared to 70 non-corner threes. Last year he shot 40 corner threes and 444 non-corner threes. That’s staggering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to mention the veteran played 35 minutes in a road win yesterday and will probably get a bit of a breather tonight back at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Harden has gone under this mark in five of nine games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Agbaji under 10.5 points (-120):<\/strong> Toronto doesn’t have a true power forward and often rolls with a four-guard lineup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immanuel Quickley is in line to return, meaning Agbaji will see some time at power forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 6-foot-5 Kansas product is taking more threes but less will be available tonight. Without Quickley he is 6-2 against this line but had just three points in 25 minutes in the one game they’ve played together this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dating back to last season, Agbaji is averaging 5.8 PPG with Quickley in the lineup and has fallen under this line in 10 straight games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Clippers also allow the fewest points per game to power forwards, according to Fantasy Pros. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
