Suns vs. Clippers: The best player prop bets for Game 4

The Los Angeles Clippers battled their way back into the Western Conference Finals with an authoritative 106-92 victory over the Phoenix Suns in Game 3. The Clippers held Suns All-Stars Devin Booker and Chris Paul to a combined 10-for-40 (25%) shooting, while L.A. frontman Paul George led the way on offense with 27 points.

What will change and what will stay the same in Game 4 (9:00 p.m. ET, ESPN) on Saturday night? Let’s start finding out as we highlight our favorite player props for the evening.

Chris Paul Over/Under 18.5 pts

Chris Paul had an awful shooting night in Game 3 – his first action since hitting the COVID list after the semifinal sweep of the Denver Nuggets – as he went 5-for-19 (26.3%) from the floor. But the fact that he wasn’t discouraged from shooting, even as he continued to find open men in the passing game (12 assists), should encourage prop players to take the Over on this relatively-low points total.

Paul averaged 25.5 points per game against the Nuggets, eclipsing 18.5 points in three of four games. That includes his 37-point explosion in the series-clincher, in which he shot 14-of-19 (73.7%) from the floor.

NBA pick: Over

Reggie Jackson Over/Under 19.5 pts

Reggie Jackson has stepped up to the plate for the Clippers in this postseason, and he should have another fine game on Saturday night.

Jackson has averaged 23 points over his last five playoff games, exceeding 19.5 points on all but one occasion. He’s hit at least three 3-pointers in that stretch while shooting 53.7% from the floor.

Count on Jackson to have another outstanding outing at home in Game 4.

Terance Mann Over/Under 11.5 pts

Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue rewarded Terance Mann with starters’ minutes in Games 1 and 3 of this series following his huge 39-point effort in the deciding Game 6 of the semifinals against the Utah Jazz. So far, Mann hasn’t been able to recapture that form.

Mann mustered a mere 12 points in 32 minutes in Game 3. He shot 6-of-8, missing his only 3-point attempt of the night. His assist and rebound numbers don’t impress either. Don’t be shocked if Mann is brought back to the bench for the start of this one and struggles to crack double-digits.
