Kawhi Leonard (LA Clippers) Under 44.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-233)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Clippers gear up to face the Warriors, the spotlight is on Kawhi Leonard, but a closer look suggests we might want to bet against his total combined points, rebounds, and assists landing over 44.5. While Kawhi's averaged a solid 25.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in his last five games, those numbers don't quite add up to the lofty total we're considering here. Historically, he's averaged just 22.4 points against the Warriors, a team that tends to tighten the screws defensively. Moreover, with his recent form showing a perfect 14-for-14 hit rate on this under, the signs are all pointing towards a more subdued performance. When you factor in his declining assists and the Warriors' ability to limit production, betting the under seems not just wise, but almost inevitable.

Kawhi Leonard (LA Clippers) Under 9.5 Rebounds (-357)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we look ahead to the Clippers' matchup against the Warriors, targeting Kawhi Leonard for under 9.5 rebounds makes a lot of sense. Despite his superstar status, Kawhi's recent performances have shown a trend leaning towards fewer boards. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 6.4 rebounds, a figure that becomes even more telling when you consider he's faced the Warriors recently, pulling down only 8.4 per game against them. The Clippers will be at home, but it hasn't translated into a rebound surge for Kawhi; he's still at 6.4 on his home turf. With Leonard's hit rate firmly at 100% for this under in his last 20 outings, the odds appear stacked in our favor. As he continues to focus on scoring and playmaking, we can confidently back the under for what looks to be a smart play in this matchup.

Brandin Podziemski (Golden State Warriors) Over 11.5 Points (-185)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

In the upcoming clash between the Clippers and the Warriors, targeting Brandin Podziemski for over 11.5 points is a savvy move. He's been a scoring machine lately, averaging almost 19 points over his last five games, and even when taking his road performances into account, he's hitting nearly 17.6 points per game away from home. Podziemski has a strong track record against the Warriors, having recently averaged 12 points in their matchups-though that figure jumps to 6.2 when competing on their turf. With a dazzling success rate of 10 out of his last 11 games hitting this mark, he's clearly found his rhythm. Considering the Clippers' need for offensive firepower against a potent Warriors lineup, it's hard to see Podziemski not surpassing this modest threshold. Expect him to capitalize on his opportunities and deliver a solid performance.
