Both of these teams have yet to be consistent in winning the tipoff. That makes this matchup more difficult in picking the player to score the first basket. That means lower the number of units you bet, but know there is still value in this matchup. 

Luke Kennard, Paul George, and Kawhi Leonard are all out for the Clippers. That gives Portland the most consistency in player scoring tonight. The two players that score the most for the Trailblazers are Jerami Grant and Anfernee Simons. Jerami Grant has had the hot hand lately, which means Grant will get the most looks tonight.
