It’s a perfect situation for the Clippers to finally end their 5-game losing streak as they take on a shorthanded Grizzlies team. You can watch the game live on ESPN at 10:00 pm ET, and I’ve prepared a Same Game Parlay which is available below.

LA Clippers 11+ win margin (+150)
The Grizzlies don’t inspire any confidence even at full strength these days. And they certainly won’t be at full strength on Sunday. Whatever is going on with Ja Morant, he is out for at least the next 2 games. Since being 31-13 on January 20, Memphis is 7-11. The Grizzlies are still #2 in the Western Conference behind Denver, but Sacramento is now just 1 game back. The Clippers aren’t playing well, either, but if not for a couple of heartbreakers against the Kings a week apart they would be in better shape. Kawhi Leonard was held out of Friday’s loss on the second leg of a back-to-back situation, so he will be well-rested for today. I think the Clippers will roll.

Russell Westbrook over 6.5 assists (-128)
Despite shooting over 50% from the field and averaging 16.6 points and 8.8 assists per game since getting signed by the Clippers, Russell Westbrook is still receiving a lot of criticism for his team’s play. The Clippers have lost 5 in a row, but they’ve actually played well for parts of those games and it’s only a matter of time until they figure things out. Westbrook has taken a lot of load off PG13 and Kawhi, and with the Clippers potentially blowing out the Grizzlies in this game I think Russ will get around 30 minutes or so of play, as head coach Ty Lue wants to build chemistry. LA is one of the deepest teams in the NBA, so it shouldn’t be a problem collecting assists for Russ even with the reserves in play. Memphis allows the 26th-highest number of assists per game this season at 26.2, and on the road that goes up to 27.1.
Desmond Bane 3+ made threes (-270)
The key to the Grizzlies’ offense will be Desmond Bane. Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks are both out of the lineup, so Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. will have to keep the team afloat somehow. Bane has the ability to create his own shots and he’s actually 2nd on the team in scoring with an average of 21.3 points per game. His efficiency has been really solid over the past 10 games at 50.3% from the field and 37.1% from three. He had a 30-point game against Houston a couple of nights ago while knocking down 6 of 9 threes. He’s known to be a streaky shooter, but with a lack of options on offense I wouldn’t be surprised if he got 23-25 shots tonight. The Clippers aren’t all that special in defending the 3-ball this season, with teams averaging 36.2% makes against them. I think scoring 3 threes here is a realistic expectation for Bane.
