James Harden has had two monster games against the Pelicans this season, going for 25 points and 17 assists in the most recent meeting and 27 points with four assists in the first matchup. Depleted New Orleans sports the NBA's worst defensive rating. Even though this has massive blowout potential, I bet Harden to record at least 30 combined points and assists. (And I would still play it Over at 30.5). In March, Harden averaged 36.9 minutes, 25.3 points and 8.7 assists.

For those who like to lay big prices in the NBA, Wednesday is for you, with a collection of hefty favorites. Worth a look might be the Clippers, who've been winning (11 of 14) and covering (9 of 10) as they fight for improved playoff seeding. Better news is that most of the Clips (including Kawhi Leonard) should make the post tonight. Then there's the Pels, whose recent announcement that Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum (neither of whom active recently) are being shut down for the season is a kind of final confirmation of a campaign that has gone wrong from the start. 'Nawlins now officially down its top four scorers (Zion, McCollum, Trey Murphy hurt; Brandon Ingram also hurt but now Toronto). Play Clippers

The Clip Joint isn't just about defense anymore. They are a dominant three-points shooting team and they have great inside-outside balance these days. They are over this total in 10 of the last 14 games. They are averaging 118.5/G over their last 14, and facing a tanking opponent here. The Clippers are tied with OKC making 42.3% of their threes in that span. Pels have allowed 119+ in 11 of their last 14 on the road allowing a staggering 129/G in that span. They've allowed 134+ in 4 of their last 6 on the road. The Pels shutting down two of their best players shouldn't hurt here, either.
