Norman Powell (LAC) Over 21.5 points (-110)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing
The biggest concern when backing Norman Powell on Friday night is if the Charlotte Hornets can keep this duel close. The Clippers come in as 13-point road favorites and Powell has scored 22+ points in 17 of 23 wins this season. Since the return of Kawhi Leonard, Powell hasn’t missed a beat. He has topped 22 points in 7 of 9 games, including the last 2 with Leonard playing in the fourth quarter. Prior to that, Leonard had not appeared in any fourth quarter all season long due to his injury restriction.
Barring a massive blowout in the first half or third quarter, I expect Powell to see at least 5 minutes in the fourth; he is averaging more than 7 mins in the fourth this season. Look for some extra juice from Powell on Friday, as he was snubbed from the Western Conference all-star team.

Immanuel Quickley (TOR) Under 5.5 assists (-130)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing
Immanuel Quickley is expected to return to the court after being out since January 11. He has played in 9 games this season and 4 with Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett joining him. In those 4 games, Quickley has stayed under 6 assists in 3 of 4 while averaging 31 minutes. In his first return to action in nearly 3 weeks, a minutes restriction is likely — even with Gradey Dick and Jamal Shead questionable heading into tonight’s contest.
