Rotation # 527-528
Clippers/Mavericks Over 208.5 (win)
The Clippers have struggled without Kawhi Leonard, but they are a veteran team and will fight to stay alive in an elimination game. Terance Mann is questionable tonight, but even if he plays, he won’t be 100 percent. Mann is a great defender, and Luka Doncic will score 40 plus tonight if Mann isn’t at full strength. Mann is struggling to shoot, so another player off the bench might give us more points tonight. Dallas is a great three-point shooting team, and they should shoot many of them tonight. The veteran play of the Clippers will keep them in the game for a while before the Mavs put them away. The eight-point spread is a little high for my liking, so the total is the better option. Take the Over.

Rotation #916
Royals -115 over Ranges
Singer/Lorenzen
The Royals hit the ball well at home and have the better of the two pitchers on the mound tonight. Both teams hit right-handed pitching well, but Brady Singer has limited opposing players to hit the ball this season. Rangers starter Michael Lorenzen isn’t a strikeout pitcher, so I expect Kansas City to take advantage. KC is playing great at home and should perform well tonight. Take the Royals.
