That&#8217;s his highest monthly scoring average since November by nearly five points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harden has averaged at least 20.0 PPG in every month this season, though, so this would be an attainable ask even in those &#8220;down&#8221; months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OKC is a great defensive team, which is baked into this price point. But if Harden keeps firing at his current volume (17.0 shots\/game in March), I like his chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Holmgren 15+ points<\/strong> (<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>-159):<\/strong> I anticipate this to be a dogfight, meaning Holmgren will likely play big minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Thunder have understandably treated their big man with kid gloves after a concerning injury to start the year, but Mark Daigneault isn&#8217;t afraid to give him some run when it matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the past two weeks, Holmgren played north of 30 minutes against the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks. He scored 23 and 16 points, respectively, in those matchups.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Holmgren is 6-2 against this line when playing 30+ minutes this season. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The power forward has also taken 10-plus shots in six of seven games this month, giving us a solid baseline volume to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Thunder vs. Clippers predictions made at 1:30 p.m. ET 03\/23\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Western Conference stalwarts close Sunday&#8217;s NBA slate when the Los Angeles Clippers host the Oklahoma City Thunder.
