NBA player props from DraftKings Sportsbook on Oct. 31. Read SBD’s DraftKings review.
Thursday’s Suns vs Clippers props list Durant with the highest point total at 25.5. Durant leads the Suns in scoring in the early going at 29.0 PPG and has hit at least 30 in his last three.
Harden (23.5 PPG) has the highest total on the Clippers side at 23.5. Since dropping 29 against the Suns in the first game of the season, The Beard has been held to 23 or fewer in each of the last three. Harden scored just 19 points on an ugly 6-of-18 performance from the field last time out in a disappointing 106-105 home loss to Portland as 8.5-point favorites.
Suns vs Clippers Prediction
Without Paul George, who’s now in Philly, and Kawhi Leonard, who’s still injured, the Clippers are struggling to score. Their O-Rating of 108.4 is a lowly 24th in the NBA. Their D-Rating of 105.1 is a stunning third at the moment (I say “stunning” because they finished 16th last season) and it won’t stay there for long based on the personnel coach Ty Lue is working with.
I’m not prepared to bet the Clippers to win over the full 48 minutes. But coming off a brutal home loss to the Blazers, I do expect a huge push right off the jump from LAC.
PHX vs LAC picks:
- Clippers first quarter moneyline (+124) – 2.0 units
- Harden over 23.5 points (-120)
Sascha Paruk’s 2024-25 NBA betting record: 7-8 (-1.02 units). All wagers 1 unit unless stated otherwise.

The Phoenix Suns will face off against the LA Clippers on October 31 in what promises to be an exciting matchup between two talented teams. As fans gear up for the game, many are turning their attention to betting odds, player props, and predictions for this highly anticipated showdown.
When it comes to betting odds, the Clippers are currently favored to win this game. According to sportsbooks, the Clippers have a -3.5 point spread, meaning they are expected to win by at least 4 points. The over/under for total points scored in the game is set at 218.5, indicating that oddsmakers are expecting a relatively high-scoring affair.
In terms of player props, there are several options to consider for this game. For the Suns, Devin Booker is always a popular choice for prop bets. Booker is known for his scoring ability and could be a good bet to go over his points total for the game. Deandre Ayton is another player to keep an eye on, as he could have a big impact in the paint against the Clippers’ frontcourt.
On the Clippers side, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are the players to watch. Both players are capable of putting up big numbers on any given night and could be good bets to hit their points totals or other prop bets. Additionally, Montrezl Harrell could be a dark horse pick for player props, as he provides energy and scoring off the bench for the Clippers.
As for predictions, this game could go either way. The Suns have shown flashes of potential this season, with Booker leading the way as one of the league’s top scorers. However, the Clippers are a deep and talented team with two superstars in Leonard and George. Ultimately, the outcome of this game may come down to which team can execute better on both ends of the court.
In conclusion, the Phoenix Suns vs LA Clippers game on October 31 is shaping up to be a competitive and entertaining matchup.
