Clippers vs. Trail Blazers Game Info
Los Angeles Clippers (40-19, 17-11 Away) vs. Portland Trail Blazers (32-24, 16-12 Home)
Date: Tuesday, April 20, 2021
Time: 10 p.m. EST
Venue: Moda Center — Portland, Ore.
Coverage: TNT
Despite their top two stars coming in and out of the lineup, the Clippers enter this game winning nine of their last 10 games. This includes winning four of their past five road games. With Kawhi Leonard returning to the lineup last game, the Clippers coasted to an easy win over the Timberwolves. Leonard nearly finished with a triple-double, putting up 15 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists. Tonight, Awesemo projects Leonard to be second on the team in scoring. It’s Paul George who Awesemo expects to lead the Clippers in scoring, projected for over 25 points. The Clippers have been great with both of their stars in the lineup, so it makes sense why they are clear favorites tonight.
On the other side, Portland has lost three of their past four games. A big reason for this has been the injury to Damian Lillard, who is the clear leader. He remains out tonight, and he is joined by Jusuf Nurkic. Last time Nurkic was held out, Enes Kanter started and pulled down 30 rebounds to go along with his 24 points and two blocks. Tonight Awesemo is projecting Kanter to grab over 12 rebounds and finish with a double-double. With Lillard out, C.J. McCollum has been asked to step up in a big way. He has scored 29 and 22 over the past two games without Lillard, respectively, and Awesemo projects McCollum to score somewhere between those two totals tonight, leading the Blazers in scoring.

Clippers vs. Trail Blazers Prediction
The Clippers are 30-20-1 against the spread as a favorite and 16-11-1 as a road team this season. Portland is 3-5 against the spread as a home underdog this season. Despite it being April 20, I have to go against the Blazers. No Lillard or Nurkic is too much to overcome. This game could get out of hand early.
Prediction: Clippers -7
