Previous to his last two games, John Collins had gone 20+ games scoring in double figures. This likes a good spot to back the veteran in a game projected to be high scoring with a total just shy of 240 points. I have the big man projected to score 14.7 points.

Darius Garland has scored at least 19 points in seven of his last nine games. During that span, he averaged 23.1 points in 29 minutes per game. The last time he faced the Pacers, he was still on a minute restriction in his return from injury. He only played 24 minutes, but still scored 12 points. The Pacers might be able to keep this game somewhat close with Pascal Siakam and Andrew Nembhard expected to play. That means Garland could log around 30 minutes against a team that has the fourth-worst defensive rating in the league. Take this over.

We won taking Indiana at home plus a bunch of points vs. the other L.A. team on Wednesday. In their past five roadies, the Clippers nearly and should have lost in Dallas (went to OT), lost twice in New Orleans, barely won at tanking Memphis and lost in San Antonio. Our model has the Clippers only by three as Indiana is apparently playing everyone not already shut down (like former Clipper Ivica Zubac). This might have to be a backdoor cover like Wednesday was, but that money spends the same.
