Hawks vs. Clippers Odds & Betting Predictions - March 18, 2024

He is over this line in 14/L18 with 18+ minutes. No Powell, so he will be the first wing off the bench. Should be able to damage as a spot up shooter and in transition (Hawks are a bottom two team against both). 20 mins should be his floor today, with upside for more if the Clips want to go small, or in a blowout.

The Hawks head to LA to take on the Clippers and I’m targeting a matchup on the interior. Capela has thrived during his career against Ivica Zubac. In 12 games H2H he has averaged 13.8 points and 13.5 rebounds. He has recorded a double double in 9 of those 12 games and four consecutive games. When these teams played earlier this season, Zubac logged 37 minutes and the Hawks ran Capela for 28 minutes and that was with John Collins (traded to Jazz) and Onyeka Okongwu (injury) both seeing 20+ minutes. While Jalen Johnson will certainly play more than the 7 minutes he logged in that game, the point is that the Hawks need Capela out there to align with the Zubac minutes. 
Capela has four consecutive double doubles and is averaging 10.3 Points and 10.5 Rebounds since the break.

Over in three straight games overall (7/4/5). Finished with 5 and 8 assists in his last two games without Saddiq Bey, including 12 potential assists last game. Over the last 30 days, Clippers are giving up the third-most assists per game to opposing forwards.
