FanDuel. The Charlotte Hornets will be without Lamelo Ball, Brandon Miller and Mark Williams tonight against the Clippers. That’s almost 65 points per game between the three and a lot of shots to go around. Josh Green figures to be a beneficiary of some added opportunities. Green has cleared this line in 9 of 12 games without Ball this season. Mainly a spot up shooter, Green gets a Clippers defense that allows the playtype at the 8th highest frequency. And while this is a highly variable points line for a low usage player, Green has been money at home this season, shooting 46% from long range.

Stop me if you've heard this one before, but Melo Ball is injured again and the Hornets are in a free fall. They can't defend and can't score enough without their point guard to keep pace. The Clippers are a legit defensive operation and they destroy bad teams: 6-0 ATS when a favorite of 8.5 or more. Clip Joint is 10-3 ATS vs the East and have covered 8 of their last 10 games overall. Hornets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5.
