Kawhi has been really good for the Clippers the last month and there’s no reason why his form won’t continue against the Hornets.
Best Bet
Phoenix Suns @ LA Lakers (6:40am)
No LeBron for the Lakers as a he still recovers from a groin injury, which means it’s the Luka / Reaves double-act.
Austin Reaves averages 28.5 points in six games without LeBron this season – while only three of those have been with Luka, he still averages 27.3 points alongside the Slovenian which has included covering this line easily in the last two with Doncic.
The Suns have been poor defensively all season, and with Reaves getting the secondary defender he shouldn’t have any trouble covering in this.
SGM – Lakers -3.5 / Reaves Over 22.5 Points / Beal 4+ Assists = $4.50
Next Best
Charlotte Hornets @ LA Clippers (10:10am)
We’ve seen Kawhi’s points line drop quite aggressively with Norman Powell questionable to return, but it appears too low.
Leonard averages 23.3 points from his last 10 games, covering this line in seven of those games.
The Hornets are a great match-up for small forwards, as they concede points 12% above average over the last month, so even if Powell plays we should see Kawhi cover this line.
SGM – Kawhi 20+ Points / Williams 10+ Rebounds / LaMelo 6+ Assists = $3.50
Value Bet
Philadelphia 76ers @ PJ Washington (4:10am)
Off the injury report for Dallas which is a huge relief as they struggle to put a team together.
PJ Washington is averaging 10.8 rebounds per 36 minutes without AD, Gafford, Lively and Luka on the floor this season.
Prior to injury he produced some big games – 22 & 13 against the Pistons, 25 & 14 against New Orleans and 22 & 19 facing the Thunder. It’s a big ask in his first game back, but they can’t afford to give Washington a significant minutes restriction – they’re likely to only have eight fit players so he’ll need to play!
SGM – Christie Under 13.5 Points / Washington Over 6.5 Rebounds / Yabusele Under 8.5 Rebounds = $5.00
