While it’s not worth looking at Powell’s numbers against the Indiana Pacers last season because he started just three games, it is important to note that Indiana is 20th in defensive rating and allows 24.9 points per contest to point guards. Their perimeter defense is nothing to write home about.

The basketball world is still shocked, reverberating from the Luka Doncic trade that sapped the Lakers roster of depth and role players. That is obviously correlated to the spread you’ll see Tuesday, where even with LeBron James expected to play, the Clippers are 8.5-point favorites at FanDuel for the 10 p.m. ET game.
