Player trends to watch
Rudy Gobert has been quiet against the Clippers in two matchups this season, averaging 7. 0 points and 7. 0 rebounds, a mark dragged down by a four-point, seven-rebound game on Dec. 6 when Ivica Zubac was in the lineup. With Zubac gone, the Clippers are viewed as a friendlier matchup for bigs; Gobert put up 10 points and seven rebounds versus a Zubac-less Los Angeles on Feb. 8 but played only 29 minutes in that contest due to a blowout. Tonight’s spread was listed at 5. 5 points in pregame markets.
Shooting guards have been finding room against the Clippers recently. Over the last seven games, the Clippers were surrendering the fifth-most points per night to shooting guards (25. 2). Edwards has been in strong form, averaging 30. 3 points per game this month, reaching at least 30 points in six of 10 games, and averaging 34. 0 points over his last three contests. He has scored more on the road (32. 9 PPG) than at home (26. 7 PPG) and had at least 30 points in four consecutive road games. Based on recent form and the matchup, projections suggested Edwards could go over 28. 5 points in this game.
