Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed out (knee), and there’s no reason for him to play considering the Bucks are 2-8 over their last 10 and out of the play-in race. Take the Clippers to pull away at Fiserv Forum.

The Indiana Pacers check in as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).

Jamal Murray is averaging a career-high 25.5 points per game, but he’s in the midst of a major heater right now. Murray has averaged 27.1 points across his last 16 outings, including 84 points across his last two games.

Murray’s been a versatile scorer over his last 16, knocking down 3.4 triples and hitting 5.9 of 6.6 free throws. He’s scored 23+ in nine of his last 16 overall and six of his last nine at home. Denver’s star point guard has reached 23 points in 44 of 70 games, including 20 of 33 at home.

In three matchups with the Warriors, Murray scored 21, 23, and 25 points, and Golden State’s defense presents a favorable matchup on Sunday. Over the last 10 games, the Warriors have allowed the 10th-most points (120.8), and they sport the 19th-ranked defensive rating (117.1). 

Murray should have no problem reaching the Over on such a modest scoring line given his recent offensive success and exploitable defensive matchup.
