Kings @ Clippers 10:30pm
Kings +3 (-110)
For the second night in a row, we are betting against the LA Clippers. The Kings and Clippers have managed comparable efforts on the offensive end thus far, being ranked 12th and 13th in offensive efficiency respectively. The Clippers have put together the 5th ranked defense in the league, compared to the Kings 22nd. However, the main question for tonight is who can recover from last night’s games more effectively? Both teams played and won last night. The Kings beat Brooklyn at home in Sacramento, and the Clippers edged out the Blazers in LA. The Clippers big three (Leonard, Harden and George) played an average of 38 minutes last night on heavy usage. The Kings most used players (Fox, Sabonis, and Murray) averaged only 33 minutes. This 5 minute difference might seem relatively small. However, the Clippers starters represent a disproportionately high amount of their offense, at 82.5 points per game, compared to a bench that scores only 30. The Kings get around 8 more points per game out of their bench, with only 4 less points from the starters. Tonight, each teams’ bench rotations can expect more play. The Kings should maintain the advantage of depth. Our wager is a half unit on the Kings +3.
