The LA Clippers continue to be the struggling team that the market values off of prior seasons. That can be tough to find a spot to back, as they are just 2-8 on the road and have dropped seven out of their last eight games. Still, tonight will mark Kawhi Leonard’s fifth game back in the lineup. He has scored 30 or more in consecutive games, and the first matchup against Miami was just a one point loss on November 3rd. Back the Clippers.

FanDuel. Kawhi Leonard is averaging 25.4 points per game this season. He’s coming off two 30 point performances in a back to back set, while only playing 29 minutes in each. He’s publicly stated he wants off his minutes restrictions to help this team win, and I wouldn’t be shocked if he was to play 34 minutes tonight. Even if he doesn’t, Kawhi is averaging 24 points per 30 minutes this season - and this should be a suitable matchup for him. Miami continues to play at the league’s fastest pace - and they push the action off of the pick and roll. Kawhi should benefit off of James Harden’s initial action - he scored 27 points in their first meeting against Miami.

Ivica Zubac has hauled in at least 12 rebounds in five of his last eight games. He is averaging 11.5 rebounds for the season after hauling in 12.6 boards a night last season. This is a great matchup for him against the Heat, who have played at the fastest pace and allowed the second-most rebounds per game in the league. When he faced them earlier in the season, he finished with 18 rebounds over 33 minutes. This is a big number, but I still like the over.
