LA will let Kawhi Leonard play the second of a back-to-back after he was limited to 18 minutes Friday but realistically how many minutes will he be good for tonight considering he hasn't played a B2B in so long? Eric Gordon joins Paul George and Marcus Morris as out for LA.
Incentive to qualify for the postseason has trumped point spreads the past several days. The Pelicans have been one of the best examples, as they have won six of their past seven games, and they surrendered a 20-point lead to the Warriors in the loss. Yet, this is a spot where I believe the veteran Clippers will rise to the occasion after a poor showing Friday against the Grizzlies. Take the points here in a close game.
Listen, I know we got burnt last night on Kawhi after the team inexplicably decided to bench him in order to preserve him for this game. While that was an ugly beat, the books are trying to make up for it, by offering a significant discount on all of Kawhi's props. I'll bite as these numbers are way too low. I like all of his props today as theyre all significantly discounted. Barring a blow out or unprecedented benching, I expect Kawhi to blow past these numbers. We ride.
This is the second game of a back-to-back set for the Clippers, who will be playing their third straight game on the road. They are a respectable 20-19 on the road, but the difference for this game could be how well the Pelicans have played in New Orleans. They are an ugly 15-25 on the road, but they are 24-13 at home. The Pelicans have been hot in general, winning six of their last seven games, overall. Look for them to continue their surge for a playoff spot with another win Saturday.
