1 Picks (3 Units).

10PM: Clippers/Trailblazers Under 220.5 (3 Units).

Injury report is big for this one. Kawhi Leonard's sitting this one out on a back-to-back since he's played just 4 games this season and Center Robert Williams has a good chance of suiting up for Portland. The Clippers are 22nd in offensive rating, 4th in defensive rating, 4th in defensive rebounding %, and 21st in Pace. The loss of Kawhi hurts on both ends but primarily on offense. Clippers have also lost each of their last 4 road games while averaging just 98.3 points per game. Portland isn't good on either end of the floor, ranking 26th and 28th in offensive and rating. Robert Williams is one of the better rim protecting bigs in the game and LA's ranked 8th in 2-PT Rate. The Clippers defense is the one constant here and they should dictate the flow of this game as they try to end the road losing streak.
