You can bet traditional markets like the spread or the total, but we've also got tons of player-prop markets to sift through.

Which bets stand out today as the Los Angeles Clippers face the Utah Jazz?

Let's dig into the best bets in FanDuel Sportsbook's NBA betting odds and NBA player props, utilizing FanDuel Research's NBA projections to try to find value.

Clippers at Jazz Prediction and Picks

James Harden to Score 25+ Points (-125)

This game sets up well for James Harden to have a big scoring night.

Over the past 10 games, the Jazz own the league's worst defensive rating. For the full season, they're also last in defensive rating.

In addition to that, Utah permits a lot of three-point attempts. The Jazz surrender a 45.3% three-point attempt rate, the highest in the NBA. That includes allowing the most made triples per game to point guards (4.0) as well as the second-most points per game to PGs (27.9).

Enter Harden.

The Clips' star guard can cook in this matchup. He's been a much better scorer this year on the road (27.9 points per game) than at home (23.4) and is averaging 30.3 points per game over his last three road contests.

Facing a defense that struggles versus PGs and also allows a bunch of threes, Harden is in a sublime spot today.

Kyle Filipowski Under 21.5 Points + Rebounds (-118)

Even with Jusuf Nurkic listed as doubtful, I like this under for Kyle Filipowski.

Here are Filipowski's points-plus-rebounds (PR) totals across the last seven games where Nurkic has sat -- 26, 12, 25, 14, 12, 10 and 8. He's been held under 15 PR in five of the seven games.

One of those games -- 10 PR -- came against the Clippers. Filipowski hasn't started all of those games, but he started that Clips contest and played 28 minutes.

LA is a tough matchup for bigs as they give up the ninth-fewest points per game to centers (20.8) as well as the 13th-fewest boards per game (13.8) to the position.

While Filipowski should get more minutes and opportunity tonight sans Nurkic, I still like the under on his PR line.
