NBA Best Bets Today (May 3, 2025)

Christian Braun Over 10.5 Points 

-128, FanDuel

Christian Braun has scored at least 11 points in 68 out of 85 (80%) games, averaging 15.1 points on 10.4 shots. He’s been even better at home, scoring 11-plus points on 35 out of 43 (81.4%) games, averaging 15.4 points on 10.3 shots in Denver. Although the Clippers allow the second-fewest points to opposing shooting guards, after a quiet start, Braun has found his rhythm offensively, scoring no less than 11 points in each of the last three games, averaging 14.0 points on 11.3 shots during that span.

Aaron Gordon Under 8.5 Assists + Rebounds 

-145, DraftKings

Aaron Gordon has eight or fewer assists and rebounds in 31 out of 57 (54.4%) games, averaging 3.1 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game. He’s been significantly worse with Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Christian Braun and Russell Westbrook all available, recording no more than eight assists and rebounds in 24 out of 37 (64.9%) games, including each of the last four, averaging 2.2 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game. Against the Clippers, Gordon has exceeded seven assists and rebounds only once in the last five head-to-head meetings, failing to clear that mark in all four games alongside Westbrook, averaging 1.8 assists on 4.4 potential assists and 5.6 rebounds on 11.0 chances. The Clippers have been locked down defensively, especially at full strength, allowing the third-fewest rebounds and seventh-fewest rebounds plus assists to opposing power forwards.

Aaron Gordon Over 13.5 Points 

-144, FanDuel

Aaron Gordon has scored at least 14 points in 30 out of 57 (52.6%) games, including each of the last nine, averaging 15.1 points on 10.1 shots. Although the Clippers allow the second-fewest points to opposing power forwards, Gordon has scored no less than 14 points in each of the last seven head-to-head meetings, including all six this postseason, averaging 17.7 points on 12.3 shots during that span.
