FanDuel. Demar DeRozan is under this line in 13 of his last 14 games. The one miss, however, is the cause of the spike of this line, as DDR went for 49 PRA in the Kings last game against Charlotte. Now facing a hot Clippers team, I’m counting on a more muted performance, especially with Russell Westbrook back. The Clippers play at the fifth slowest pace, and are very stingy with the peripheral stats. The likes of Derrick Jones Jr., Kris Dunn, and even Kawhi Leonard will contribute to what should be a tough matchup for DeRozan. And like we’ve seen many a time with the floundering Kings, Derozan’s minutes can completely fall off in the second half.

Darius Garland was rested on the first night of a back-to-back Friday. He should be all-systems-go for Saturday's home game against the lowly Kings, who rank third-worst in defensive rating. Garland has scored 20-plus points in three straight games and six of the past eight. Go Over.

Darius Garland did not play Friday against the Bulls as the Clippers continue to hold him out for one game of back-to-back sets. He will return Saturday in what is a great matchup against the Kings, who have the third-worst defensive rating in the league. There is some blowout risk here, but Garland has scored at least 21 points in three straight games despite logging 26 or fewer minutes in two of them. He made 13 three-pointers over that span, which is noteworthy because the Kings allow the third-highest three-point shooting percentage. I won’t be surprised if Garland reaches at least 20 points again, let alone the 18 needed to hit this over.
