DraftKings. John Collins is under this line in 6/8 games without Kawhi Leonard this season. And as a starter, he has yet to exceed this total in five outings. This should be a very tough matchup for him, as the Magic are very stingy with limiting action outside of the pick and roll. Orlando is third best at allowing spot up points and baskets in transition, which represent 47% of Collins’ points. And the Magic are sixth in rebounds allowed. After an uncharacteristically fast start to the season, Orlando has also slowed down, ranking 27th in pace over the last 8 games (Clippers are 30th in that span). I’d bet this down to under 19.5.
Problems for the Clips, still minus Kawhi Leonard and already losing contact with the leaders in the Pacific Division. It's not just no Kawhi, but all of a sudden the roster looks old, and losing Norman Powell to the Heat appears a larger negative than first realized. The Clips might be the slowest team in the NBA, and James Harden is shooting the Clips out of as many games (such as his 7 for 25 FGs on Monday at Philly) as he is helping them win...which they aren't doing much (1-8 SU their last nine). The Magic are down a key cog, too (Paolo Banchero), but can win a fourth straight at Kia Center if Desmond Bane (23 ppg last five) keeps firing. Play Magic
