It looks like Kawhi Leonard (load management) will give it a rest for the Clippers after last night's 128-114 win over the Grizzlies...but it's not as if LA hasn't played minus Kawhi before. Besides, Kawhi was only marginally effective in last Saturday's 130-110 win over the Jazz at Intuit Dome, as he scored just 10 points in 31 minutes of court time. Norman Powell and Ivica Zubac took care of the scoring with 26 points each, while James Harden added 23. The Clippers, who are 6-1 over their last seven), earlier scored 144 in a romp past the Jazz on December 16. Defense not a strong suit for Utah, also trending over (five straight), allowing 129 pg the past five. Play Clippers-Jazz Over

John Collins is having a nice February, but the Clippers are a good defensive team. Our model has Collins at 16.3 points. He has scored exactly 17 in back-to-back games and perhaps doesn't play major minutes tonight in the second of a B2B. JC is averaging 13.5 points in two games vs. LA this year.
