Parlay odds: +1083
Paul George To Score 30+ Points (+190)
With Kawhi Leonard out, it is up to George to provide the offense for the Clippers now. George has proven to be a reliable second fiddle for the Clippers averaging 23.3 points per game last year in the regular season. During the playoffs, he upped that to 26.9 points and after Leonard went down in the Utah series he scored 29.6 points per game the rest of the way. During that stretch, he averaged 22 shots per game, including almost nine attempts from deep with 9.8 free-throw attempts as well. If he comes out aggressive out of the gate tonight we can expect a big game from PG13.

Stephen Curry to Score 35+ Points (+116)
Although he had a sub-par shooting night against the Lakers on Tuesday, Curry still managed to lead his team to victory and notch a triple-double in the proceedings as well. He ended the game as the team’s leading scorer despite going only 5-for-21 from the field. His free-throws were on point as he went 9-for-9 on the night. I’m expecting a bounce-back game from him, after all, he is the greatest shooter of all time and has had some really impressive performances against the Clippers over the years. And let’s face it, LA doesn’t really have anyone on their roster who can stay in front of Curry, especially now that Patrick Beverley is no longer on the team.
Reggie Jackson Over 3.5 Assists (-112)
Similar to George, Reggie Jackson’s numbers also went up after Leonard’s injury. In the eight playoff games without Kawhi, Jackson upped his assist total to 4.4 per game from 2.7 prior to that. More ball-handling responsibilities results in more assists, that’s just how it goes. The Clippers did add Eric Bledsoe into the mix to back up Jackson, but I still expect Reggie to get 30+ minutes a night so getting to four assists shouldn’t be an issue for LA’s main point guard this season. It is also encouraging that he was able to get to four assists in two of his last four games against the Warriors.
