Plumlee came off the bench in both of his first two games with the Clippers, logging 17 and 18 minutes, respectively. Still, he registered three assists in both games. Now he is set to start and play significantly more minutes with Ivica Zubac (calf) out. Plumlee averaged 3.6 assists per game as a starter with the Hornets, so a starting role against a Kings team that has one of the worst defenses in the league sets up Plumlee to go over this total.

Leonard has been on a heater, averaging 27.6 points and shooting 51.5 percent from the field over his last 17 games. During that span, he scored at least 25 points 12 times. The Kings ranks inside the top-10 in the league in pace of play and inside the bottom-10 in defensive rating, so even though the addition of Russell Westbrook muddies things a bit, I still like Leonard’s chances of going over this total.
