Lakers vs Clippers NBA Preview
Action PRO projects Clippers center Ivica Zubac for 15.58 points tonight, a nice 15.3% edge against the market when compared to his 17.5 line.
Zubac has scored fewer than 17.5 points in six out of his last seven games and 11 of his past 15.
Even against a Lakers defense that ranks 20th in points allowed, this should be another under for Zubac.
Except for a couple of exceptional 33-point games in the last two months, the Clippers center is usually a steady performer, with a 16.0 average for the season.
Fade him tonight in this LA matchup.
