Away: Milwaukee Bucks (25-17/8-10 Away)
Projected Starting Five:
- Damian Lillard
- Andre Jackson Jr.
- Taurean Prince
- Giannis Antetokounmpo (DTD)
- Brook Lopez
Doc Rivers has been sleeping with a smile on his face lately, as the Bucks are on a surge. Milwaukee has gone undefeated in its last five games after dismantling the Miami Heat at home on Friday, 125-96. Damian Lillard nearly had a triple-double against Miami, scoring 29 points and adding 11 assists and nine rebounds. Giannis Antetokoumpo mustard 25 points and 12 boards.
Milwaukee’s offense has been popping during its hot stretch. On the season, the Bucks are averaging 113.9 points per game but over their last five games, they have manufactured 126.0 points while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 41.8 percent from behind the arc. There could be additional firepower for Milwaukee this Sunday, with Khris Middleton labeled probable for the LA game after missing the date with the Heat.
Milwaukee is 5-0 against the spread in its last five outings overall.

Home: Los Angeles Clippers (25-19/16-8 Home)
Projected Starting Five:
- James Harden
- Norman Powell
- Kawhi Leonard
- Derrick Jones Jr.
- Ivica Zubac
The Clippers are coming off a 110-93 win over the Washington Wizards at home to move on from nearly pulling off a huge upset win during Thursday’s meeting with the Boston Celtics. Missing Kawhi Leonard, James Harden and Ivica Zubac, the Clippers took the fight to the Celtics and pushed them to the edge before ultimately picking up a 117-113 loss. With Harden, Leonard and Zubac back, the Clippers throttled the going-nowhere Wizards to gain some momentum again.
The three players don’t carry injury labels at the time of this writing, so expect them to suit up versus the Bucks. With Leonard and Zubac, the Clippers will have two defensive stalwarts to help them take care of business on that end of the floor against the surging Bucks. While he continues to get overlooked, Zubac leads the Clippers with 2.6 defensive win shares (and offensive win shares at 2.7). Despite not having Leonard healthy for most of the season, the Clippers are third in the NBA with 106.6 points allowed per game and fourth with a 14.0 percent defensive turnover rate.
The Clippers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games.
