Rotation # 535
Clippers +4.5 over Mavericks (loss)
The question mark for the Clippers tonight is whether Kawhi Leonard will play. LA has played so many games without him, so I am not too concerned if he doesn’t play. The Mavericks are a young, beat-up team that will get younger without Tim Hardaway tonight. The Mavs can only rely on Luka Doncic to be a hero so much, and they need to get better on defense and generate easy buckets around the paint area before they become a dangerous team. Veteran leadership will win on the road. Take the Clippers.

Rotation #967-968
Dodgers/Blue Jays Over 9 runs (win)
Stone/Bassitt
The Dodgers, known for their impressive slugging percentages, will be worried tonight about their starting pitching. Gavin Stone’s performance in his short career has been a concern. While Los Angeles is likely to score, Stone’s presence on the mound should allow the Blue Jays to score significantly early in the game. We should be in for a high-scoring game. Take the Over.
