Seven games feature on Sunday’s NBA slate, including the Hornets travelling to San Antonio in a matchup worth watching. Meanwhile the Clippers continue their playoff push behind the strong play of Kawhi Leonard.
Sacramento Kings @ LA Clippers
The Clippers are making a serious push toward the playoffs with their new-look rotation following the trade deadline, with Bennedict Mathurin and Darius Garland making an immediate impact.
They host a Kings team firmly in tank mode with the second-worst record in the NBA. That said, Sacramento still has several young players producing strong performances, along with a veteran presence guiding the group.
LEG 1 - Maxime Raynaud Over 21.5 PR
The rookie is playing solid minutes for Sacramento and producing strong numbers of late.
Without Sabonis, Murray and LaVine, Raynaud is averaging 15.5 points and 8.5 rebounds across 13 games, a PR average of 24.
He has cleared this line in eight of those 13 games, including five of his last seven. With the Clippers conceding points to centres 14% above league average over the last month, Raynaud has another strong opportunity here.
LEG 2 - Russell Westbrook 6+ Assists
While many Kings players have faded as the season winds down, Westbrook has continued to produce strong numbers.
He is averaging 9.5 assists across his last four games leading into this matchup, and without Murray, Sabonis and LaVine he is averaging 7.7 assists across a 10-game stretch.
LEG 3 - Bennedict Mathurin 15+ Points
Mathurin has been producing excellent numbers in his bench role for the Clippers.
Since the All Star break he is averaging 21.1 points per game and has cleared 15+ points in nine of those 12 games.
He is averaging 24.3 points across his last four games and should comfortably reach the 15-point mark again here.
Same Game Multi
Raynaud Over 21.5 PR / Westbrook 6+ Assists / Mathurin 15+ Points = $3.60
VALUE BET - Maxime Raynaud 20+ Points @ $5
Raynaud has scored 20+ points in three of his last seven games, including strong performances against teams that defend centres well.
One of those outings came against Dallas, who concede points to centres 18% above league average over the last month.
The Clippers allow points to centres 14% above average across the same period, creating another strong opportunity for Raynaud to produce a big scoring game.
