Best Clippers-Suns NBA Player Prop | Terance Mann
Terance Mann Prop O/U 2.5 Assists
We hit the over on this prop back on Tuesday, and we’re headed back to the well this evening. Although the matchup is not quite as favorable, the situation is — Terance Mann remains the starting point guard for the Los Angeles Clippers. Although the team added Bones Hyland and Eric Gordon after parting ways with Reggie Jackson and John Wall, Mann stuck in the starting five at point guard with both Hyland and Gordon active on Tuesday.
Although he isn’t a high-volume shooter, Mann plays a high-volume role for the Clippers. He made the second-most passes on Tuesday (48) and recorded six potential assists, all of which led to points. Although a 100% conversion rate for potential assists isn’t sustainable, his assist prop slots in at half that number. Mann will also keep playing with the efficient shooters that make up Los Angeles’ top unit, something neither Gordon nor Hyland can say.

The Clippers won’t have Norman Powell tonight, which won’t affect the starting five but will move things around for the bench. Powell is the team’s highest-usage bench player. Without him, starters Paul George and Kawhi Leonard will have to play larger roles, possibly leading head coach Tyronn Lue to leave the entire starting lineup out for extra minutes — especially since they’ll get several days off due to the All-Star break.
The matchup isn’t perfect, but the Phoenix Suns have allowed the seventh-most assists to point guards over the last 15 games (9), and the over is priced at a generous +120.
