Yesterday, Patrick Beverley made sure to let Lebron know that he’s too small.
Tonight the Bulls are staying in LA to face the Clippers at Crypto.com Arena in the second night of a back-to-back for Chicago. Is Pat Bev going to bring that same energy against Kawhi Leonard and another one of his former teams? Let’s take a look at the prop market and see if we can find some value tonight.
Bulls vs. Clippers best NBA prop bets
DeMar DeRozan OVER 22.5 points (-105)
Patrick Beverley OVER 6.5 points (-104)
Kawhi Leonard OVER 31.5 points + assits (-110)
DeMar DeRozan OVER 22.5 points (-105)
DeMar is an LA native and there have been rumors about him joining the other LA team at different points in his career. Last night he didn’t exactly show out back home with just 17 points in the win, though he did have 10 assists. Instead, it was Zach LaVine who shouldered the scoring load with 32, but I expect DeRozan to have the big game tonight.
Patrick Beverley OVER 6.5 points (-104)
Okay, how can we not ride with Beverley after last night. Love him or hate him, that was a hilarious move to pull against Lebron in a game where Pat Bev only had 10 points all night. The Bulls have been playing well with Beverley in the starting lineup and I think he’ll be feeling himself a little bit tonight. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a few more times where he decides to do it himself.
Kawhi Leonard OVER 31.5 points + assists (-110)
With no Paul George, Kawhi is going to need to do everything for the Clippers and lately that’s exactly what he’s done. In March he’s averaging over 26 points a game on over 50% shooting from the field and over 40% shooting from three. The Clippers don’t have a lot of playmaking other than Russell Westbrook, so I think Kawhi’s assists will go up more than his points in George’s extended absence. He had 32 points and six assists in the first game without George, but was not good last time out.
