NBA betting: James Harden struggles set to continue against Raptors

Managed to get a 4-1 result on a one-game slate to end last week, which is a huge positive.

Now, we look to Monday's action.

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Orlando Magic

Neither team is super-keen to win this one and we don’t have Shai Gilgeous-Alexander suiting up for OKC.

It makes choosing a side tough, but given the lack of offensive talent, the game total is a little safer.

I think we can go under the 224.5.

Best bet: Game total - Under 224.5

Toronto Raptors @ Philadelphia 76ers

James Harden hasn’t completely spread his wings as a scorer in Philadelphia and going up against a slow, defensive team like Toronto, it may be a little harder to fully explode there.

His scoring line is 24.5 and the under is $1.85 on TAB.

Best bet: Player points - Harden under 24.5

Boston Celtics @ Denver Nuggets

Bones Hyland has been increasing his playing time of late, and his role in the offence.

Boston is a good defensive team, but Bones should be able to exceed 11.5 points if his role remains similar. Over pays $1.79 on Sportsbet.

Best bet: Player points - Hyland over 11.5

San Antonio Spurs @ Golden State Warriors

I was looking at Devin Vassell’s rebound number, and it was set at 3.5, which was a great line to go over.

But, it quickly changed to 4.5, which is tougher. I would still use the alternate line, which you can find on Sportsbet, of 3.5 and go over for $1.62.

I’m doing it again, but this time going under for Klay Thompson's assists.

He’s currently allergic to setting up teammates, so under 2.5 is the go. On Sportsbet, the odds are juiced to $2.05.

Best bet: Player rebounds - Vassell over 3.5

Best bet: Player assists - Thompson under 2.5
