Backing L.A. with points should be a no-brainer then, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think so, though tonight&#8217;s rematch will include Irving on Dallas&#8217; side, which should be a boon for the Mavs. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve tacked on a couple of extra points with the visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this number, I feel great about the Clippers. They&#8217;ve been one of the best ATS teams in the league, per Team Rankings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>18-10 ATS on the season (64.3%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>8-4 ATS as the road team<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And remember, the Clippers beat the Mavericks on the road by 23 points just two nights ago. I don&#8217;t expect Irving to make enough of a difference for this pick to be a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-89a1765e-b418-46d4-b497-651bc59723d9\">SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Irving over 19.5 points (-385):<\/strong> It&#8217;s fair to expect Irving to make <em>some<\/em> difference tonight, though, and a 20-point effort is perfectly attainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The eight-time all-star is averaging 23.9 PPG this season and has cashed this bet in 17 of 24 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, Irving surpassed the 25-point threshold in both matchups against the Clippers \u2014 and that was with Doncic on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without Doncic, Irving is averaging 25.7 PPG in six games. He finished with 19 points once and cashed this bet the other five times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Powell over 3.5 threes<\/strong> (+114):<\/strong> Now for the riskiest pick of the bunch, which could also be a logical wager on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Powell has arguably been the best 3-point shooter in the league this season, scoring at a 48.5% clip. That&#8217;s the highest 3PT% among all players averaging at least 5.0 attempts per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over his past eight games, Powell has gone over 3.5 threes six times. He went 4-for-8 against Dallas on Thursday and should be encouraged to continue letting it fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-049eee7c-fa25-40b8-b13d-7bb92000f313\"><em>Picks made at 10:20 a.m. on 12\/21\/24.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luka Doncic will miss another matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night.
