More or Less 2/2 – Los Angeles Clippers/Dallas Mavericks
Luka Doncic has cooled off a bit recently. He’s only averaging 24.8 points in 32.0 minutes per game over the last 10 days. With that being said, Doncic is coming off of a 35 point performance against the Portland Blazers. He gets a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers tonight, but he could see extra opportunities to score because of the pace they play at. In their only matchup, Doncic scored only 22 points in 34.3 minutes. He shot only 28.6% from the field without making a single three-pointer, though. I expect him to find more efficiency in this game, and he comes with tremendous scoring potential on a nightly basis.
Kawhi Leonard has been an elite scorer over his last five games. Over that span, he’s averaging 36.0 points per game. He also saw 20+ shot attempts in each of those games. Leonard will continue to be the focal point of the offense with Paul George out once again tonight. He gets a plus matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, who feature a below average defense this season. In their only matchup, Leonard needed only 28.3 minutes to score 28 points. He’s expected to find minutes in the mid-30s tonight, making him an elite scoring option. Leonard seems to be the safer option of the duo.
Play 1 unit on Luka Doncic OVER 30.5 points and Kawhi Leonard OVER 30.5 points to win 3 units (3x)
