NBC Sports Best Bet
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is looking at the Clippers for tonight’s play in this games: Norman Powell Over 20.5 Points (-130)
“I’m going back to Powell in what should be a better situation. With Kawahi injured and PG gone his usage is the highest of his career. He’s averging 23.6 ppg and over 30 minutes per game. Both career highs. His three-point shooting and field goal percentages are up this season. This should be a fast paced game with a lot of points. The Jazz give up the most points and second most threes to shooting guards per game.”
