Lakers computer picks
Ziaire Williams Over 9.5 points (51%)
Projection: 10.54 points
Ziaire Williams scored 14 points on 5-for-7 shooting in about 31 minutes when the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Los Angeles Clippers 125-117 last week, showing he can produce in a rotation built around Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. Our model projects 10.54 points, just above the 9.5-point line. That is a modest edge, and it depends on Williams holding a similar role tonight.
Luka Doncic Under 4.5 threes (46%)
Projection: 3.44 threes
Luka Doncic is a high-volume shooter, but he went 2-for-8 from 3-point range in last week's win over the Clippers while still finishing with 23 points and seven assists. Our model projects 3.44 threes, more than a full make below the 4.5 line. That leaves room for the Under even if Doncic keeps firing from deep.
Ziaire Williams Over 1.5 threes (44%)
Projection: 1.72 threes
Williams went 1-for-3 from beyond the arc in the first meeting between these teams, so he's getting looks from deep in this Lakers offense. Our model projects 1.72 threes, a slim 0.22 above the 1.5 line. Polymarket's 44% price shows this is a close call rather than a lock, and it's one of the tighter margins on the board.
Austin Reaves Over 3.5 rebounds (55%)
Projection: 4.65 rebounds
Austin Reaves grabbed only two rebounds in last week's win over the Clippers, even while scoring 28 points with nine assists in more than 38 minutes. His heavy workload keeps him in position for boards, though, and our model projects 4.65 rebounds, over a full rebound above the 3.5 line.
Clippers computer picks
Darius Garland Over 24.5 points (53%)
Projection: 26.31 points
With Bradley Beal, Brandon Ingram and Max Strus all listed out, the Clippers' offense runs through Darius Garland. He scored 26 points on 9-for-19 shooting, including 4-for-10 from three, in last week's loss to the Lakers. Our model projects 26.31 points, about 1.8 above the 24.5-point line.
Kris Dunn Under 9.5 points (49%)
Projection: 8.73 points
Kris Dunn played more than 33 minutes against the Lakers last week but scored only seven points on 3-for-6 shooting, as his value comes more from defense and playmaking than scoring. Our model projects 8.73 points, under the 9.5 line. The gap is narrow, so this is a lean rather than a strong play.
Kris Dunn Under 1.5 threes (65%)
Projection: 1.22 threes
Dunn hit one of his three 3-point attempts against the Lakers last week, which fits a profile built around attacking the rim and defending rather than volume from deep. Our model projects 1.22 threes, comfortably below the 1.5 line. Polymarket's 65% is the highest price among the eight picks.
Isaiah Jackson Over 7.5 rebounds (46%)
Projection: 7.7 rebounds
Isaiah Jackson was named the Clippers' starting center for the season and grabbed six rebounds in roughly 28 minutes against the Lakers last week. His season average of 5.7 rebounds sits below this line, but Rui Hachimura is out, which thins the Clippers' frontcourt. Our model projects 7.7 rebounds, only slightly above 7.5, so this is the thinnest margin of the eight picks.
