The final tip off of the night could very easily be a preview of this years NBA Finals. Both the Los Angeles Clippers and the Milwaukee Bucks are currently in position to have home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. They are also led by superstar talents that know what it takes to win a championship. Tonight should serve as a great opportunity for both sides to test their strengths.

Brook Lopez 3+ made threes (+310)
Kawhi Leonard will remember all too well from his Toronto Raptors days on how to slow down Giannis Antetokounmpo. They key is to pack the paint with bodies, making it as difficult as possible for him to finish on the inside. One player that will play a key part in preventing that from happening will be Brook Lopez. With his ability to knock down the 3-point shot, he should be able to punish Ivica Zubac if he cheats off of him, looking to act as the help defender. With the Bucks center making 37.6% of his 3-pointers this season, I expect him to be able to do some damage tonight.
Lopez was able to his at least 3 shots from beyond the arc in 6 games in January. He done so against Myles Turner, Onyeka Okongwu and Mitchell Robinson. All of these centers rank in the top 20 in the NBA in blocks per game. Zubac too falls within this category, ranking 17th in the league. That should make the game plan clear for the Lopez, hang around on the perimeter and be ready to knock down kick outs. That will give him a great chance to hit several triples tonight.

Kawhi Leonard to record 10+ rebounds (+270)
Over the last 5 games, Leonard has come just a rebound shy from hitting this line on 2 occasions, coming 2 shy on another. With the Clippers leading rebounder in Zubac having to concern himself with closing down Lopez, there could be more rebounds to go around for the rest of the team. Leonard, who will likely spend some time matched up against Antetokounmpo, could be one to benefit. With the Greek superstars insistence to attack on the inside, Leonard could continuously be pushed back into the paint. That would put him in a great position to rebound.
The Bucks are also leading the league in 3-point attempts per game. That should lead to an increase in the number of long rebounds available. Over the last 5 Bucks games, LaMelo Ball, Bennedict Mathurin and Bruce Brown Jr. have all taken advantage of this to record 8 or more rebounds. I expect a player with Leonard’s ability to be able to improve on that tonight.
