Parlay odds: +1468
LA Clippers 1–10 win margin (+190)
The Clippers are coming off a 111-109 win over Sacramento last night, so tonight’s game will be the second of a back-to-back, but I wouldn’t worry too much about fatigue as the season is still young. Both Kawhi Leonard and John Wall sat out last night’s game, they’ll be fresh and ready to go tonight. The Clippers are 7-2 SU in their last 9 games and have 5 wins in their last 6 at Crypto.com Arena.
Teams generally do well in season home openers, and after 2 wins on the road it’s time for the Clippers to show their home fans they are title contenders this season. Each team won their home games last year in the 4 regular-season meetings. It won’t be easy for the Clippers, but they can keep that trend going tonight. They have Kawhi to neutralize Booker and Zubac to slow down Ayton. Paul George was also red-hot last night as he scored 40 points in the win over Sacramento, and I’m looking forward to seeing how he follows it up tonight. It should be a close game, but the Clippers can edge it at home.

Chris Paul to score 20+ points (+370)
We are yet to see Chris Paul go crazy this season on the offensive end and tonight against his former team is a perfect opportunity for that to happen. As he enters his 18th season at the age of 37, many people are doubting whether he still has it and after a slow start in the season opener against Dallas in which he made only 1 field goal, he improved in the game at Portland, scoring 10 points on 5-for-11 shooting and also dished out 12 assists with 5 steals.
The Suns will need much more than that tonight if they want to end the Clippers’ unbeaten run. CP3 has played well against his former team, averaging 17.3 points per game over the last 10 meetings. Against a much younger Reggie Jackson and a John Wall who is just coming back after a long layoff from injury, I think Paul can turn back the clock here and have a solid scoring night.
