Serge Ibaka Over 9.5 Points

Ibaka is expected to start at center for the Clippers against the Nets tonight, with Ivica Zubac (health and safety) and Isaiah Hartenstein (ankle) being ruled out. While Ibaka has struggled shooting the ball this year, he has scored at least nine points in five of the seven contests that he has seen at least 19 minutes of playing time. This includes reaching double figures on three occasions. Furthermore, Ibaka has a usage rate of 18.7%, and the Nets are a pretty good matchup for him. Opposing centers have had a field day against Brooklyn over the last five games, registering 27.6 points along with 15.4 rebounds.

Ibaka tallied six points in 14 minutes off the bench against Brooklyn, while Zubac contributed nine points and nine rebounds in the December 27 meeting. Ibaka is projected for 12.24 points. OddsShopper gives the over a 73% chance of hitting with an expected ROI of 39%.

Luka Garza Over 12.5 Points

The Pistons have 13 players listed as out for tonight’s game against San Antonio. As a result, Garza is slated to make his third straight start at center and fifth overall. He registered career-highs in minutes (39) and rebounds (9) in his last outing against the Knicks, which came a few days after scoring a personal-best 20 points versus the Spurs on Sunday. Garza has totaled 24 points, on 33% (8-24) shooting from the field and 33% (3-9) from long distance, along with 15 caroms and four assists in 59 minutes of action over the last two contests. He is projected for 14.95 points in a good matchup as the Spurs have given up the fifth-most points to opposing centers for the year. OddsShopper gives the over a 69% chance of hitting with an expected ROI of 34%.
