Paolo Banchero (Orlando Magic) Over 11.5 Points (-3333)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Look, it's no secret that Paolo Banchero has been on a tear recently. The guy's been lighting up the court with an average of - mind you - 29.4 points per game over the last five matchups. That's overall, home and away. Now take this into account: he's been equally unstoppable on the road, chalking up an impressive 28.2 points average. Heading into Los Angeles to battle the Clippers, Banchero's track record speaks volumes - he's been consistently punching above the 11.5-point mark against this same opponent, even when playing in their backyard. And if you're still not convinced, here's the clincher: Banchero has hit this over in 20 straight games, and in his last 14 on the road. So, putting your money on Paolo Banchero to score over 11.5 points? Seems like a safe bet in my book, folks.

Kawhi Leonard (LA Clippers) Under 1.5 Blocks (-500)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Let's talk about Kawhi Leonard and his propensity for blocks in this upcoming match-up against the Orlando Magic. Now, Kawhi is a phenomenal player, no doubt, but there's a trend here that we can't ignore. Over his last five outings, Leonard’s been averaging just 0.8 blocks per game. Even more telling, when we zoom in on his games at home, his block numbers drop to zero. That's right, he's not swatting any balls at home. And against the Magic? He’s got just a 0.7 block average. The reality is, Leonard's been staying under that 1.5 block line consistently, hitting that in a whopping 18 out of his last 20 games and in every single one of the last 11 home games. So even though Kawhi is a beast on the court, when it comes to blocks, the under 1.5 seems like a solid bet.

Kris Dunn (LA Clippers) Under 9.5 Points (-154)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

If you've been keeping tabs on Kris Dunn's recent performances, you'll know that he's been struggling to consistently hit high numbers. He's averaged a mere 5.8 points overall in his last five games, and it doesn't get much better when he's away from home, with an average of 5.6 points. Even against this particular opponent, the Los Angeles Clippers, Dunn's record isn't stellar – his average drops to 4.5 points. His under 9.5 points bet has a solid hit rate: 5 out of his last 6 games overall, and a perfect 4 out of 4 when he's on the road. So, it's not really a leap of faith to expect Dunn to fall short of 10 points in the upcoming game against the Clippers. The stats simply support the narrative of a player in a scoring slump, making this bet an enticing proposition.
