James Harden Assists vs Warriors
Still the betting favorites in the NBA Eastern Conference odds, there’s a chance Brooklyn could slip into the play-in section, depending on how they hold up on a brutal 5-game West coast trek.
Save for the Kings in the middle game, all the heavy hitters are on the docket: Denver, Utah, Phoenix, and Saturday night’s opponent, the Golden State Warriors.

Kyrie Irving and James Harden haven’t exactly co-starred in their five games together. They have combined for 50+ points in just one game.
Harden’s right at his season average of 23 points per game when running with Irving, with Kyrie averaging 27.8 points, if you remove his 9-point dud against the Bulls.
Milestone on the horizon: James Harden (6,111) is only four assists away from passing John Havlicek (6,114) for 36th place in the league’s all-time assists list.
Harden needs 15 assists to pass Clyde Drexler (6,125) for 35th place and Scottie Pippen (6,135) is 34th.

The Beard’s assist numbers spike though, averaging 11.8 per game, and finishing in double-digits in four of those five starts. Even if the Dubs surrender the 2nd-fewest assists per game in the league, Harden should be able to keep his teammates well fed.
- Pick: Harden OVER 9.5 Assists (-132)
Tobias Harris Points vs Kings
Joel Embiid has vaulted to the top of the latest 2022 NBA MVP odds, passing both Steph Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
His torrid streak doesn’t make him a great wager, however, with a scoring line set at 32.5 against the Kings Saturday night. Such is the curse of going for at least 31 in 16 of his last 19 games.

Looking for another option? Try running mate Tobias Harris, who’s quietly stringing together great wingman totals for a Sixers’ team that’s playing pressure-free with Embiid wrecking defenses on a nightly basis.
Harris went for 23 points, five rebounds and four assists last time out in a win over the Lakers. It’s the fifth time in seven games he’s gone for 20+.
Harris has clearly established himself as the next-best option, averaging the second-most field goals per game on the team, while shooting 47.2% from the field this season.
with a new season-high of 33 points, @Tobias31 looked TOUGH last night. 😤 pic.twitter.com/pE6wyy2lYL
— Philadelphia 76ers (@sixers) January 26, 2022
Sacramento isn’t exactly a defensive juggernaut — they’re giving up 114.9 points a game this season, second to only the Houston Rockets for the worst scoring D in the league.
While a major blowout could be on the horizon, look for Harris to extend his current streak of stellar play.
- Pick: Harris Over 19.5 Points (-108)
