Clippers First Quarter Moneyline (+115)

I'm already on board to bet the Los Angeles Clippers tonight; evidenced by my best bet on today's episode of "Bet & Breakfast," but I also love the opportunity to back them early at plus odds in New Orleans as well.

The New Orleans Pelicans have been a disaster at starting off games well this year at home; going just 6-14 ATS in first quarters this season. The Clippers aren't anything special; 7-7-2 ATS in first quarters away from home, but they're also coming off a huge comeback win and have their atrocious first half play fresh in their mind. They also face a Pelicans squad ranked bottom seven in total offense and L.A. comes in with the fourth-best defensive rating in the league.

You can get this play at +1 at WynnBET at -110 odds, but I'm confident the Clippers will take advantage early on, especially after digging themselves out of a 25-point hole on Tuesday. -- Ben Heisler

Reggie Jackson OVER 16.5 Points (-130)

Paul George is out of the lineup for the Clippers, so now someone else is going to have to score. It's time for Reggie Jackson to step up and be that guy, at least for tonight. Los Angeles is set to take on the Pelicans, who rank 28th in opponent effective field goal percentage, so it's a good time for Jackson to rack up some points.

He hit 13 points on just 33.3% shooting in his last game against the Denver Nuggets, but I expect a better shooting performance tonight against a much weaker defense. What's promising from his last game is that he played over 31 minutes. If he hits that number again tonight, I suspect he'll hit over the mark of 16.5 points. – Iain MacMillan

Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 30.5 Points (-120)

Giannis Antetokounmpo has cleared this line in five of his last six games and is now facing a Golden State Warriors team that will be without Draymond Green. Antetokounmpo has had several 30-point games against the Warriors before and tonight will be another. 

Although the Warriors have the best defensive rating in the league, they – like many other teams –  don’t have much to match up with the Greek Freak. Jrue Holiday is still out which means the scoring load still falls heavily on Antetokounmpo. Ja Morant was able to score with ease on the interior and Antetokounmpo will have the same type of success. – Donnavan Smoot

Jonas Valanciunas OVER 11.5 Rebounds (-125)

This number is incredibly mispriced. For starters, the Pelicans big man has gone OVER in four straight games, cleaning the glass for a New Orleans team that is third in the NBA in rebound percentage.

Now, they face a Clippers team that is bottom three in rebounding percentage and will be undersized against the bruising Lithuanian. I like Valanciunas to keep up the good work on the boards and go over this total. – Reed Wallach

Khris Middleton OVER 20.5 Points (-130)

Khris Middleton has been on fire as of late, averaging 24.8 points per game on 50.7 percent from the field and 52.0 percent from beyond the arc over his last four games. 

Middleton has cleared this number in three of those four games, and he’s going to be called upon against a tough Warriors team without Jrue Holiday. 

This season, Middleton is averaging 20.9 points per game in seven games with Holiday out of the lineup, and I think he continues his strong scoring performances on Thursday with Draymond Green out for the Warriors. – Peter Dewey
