Lillard having an off night could affect CJ McCollum’s totals as he may have more opportunities to score against LA.
Total Points – C.J. McCollum (POR) (NBA) 21.5
- Over -120
- Under -110
Unlike Lillard’s odds, the Over for CJ is slightly favored. CJ is averaging 22.1 PPG this season and is the Blazers’ leading scorer so far this year.
CJ simply hitting his season average would cover the Over. Only averaging 17 PPG against the Clippers defense this season, McCollum put up 14 and 20 points in their two matchups.
CJ is also coming off of a 7-point outing where he went 3-15 from the field and 1-10 from behind the arc against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Regardless, CJ has been more consistent this season than Dame has with hitting his Over, scoring more than 21 points in five of their 10 games compared to Lillard scoring more than 25 points only once.
The backcourt is also unlikely to both cover their totals as this has not happened so far this NBA betting season. It has been either one player covers the total points or neither does.
This matchup tips off at 10 p.m. EST and can be watched on TNT.
