It’s been an eventful offseason for nan Los Angeles Clippers, arsenic play surrounding nan beforehand agency and Kawhi Leonard’s salary has dominated nan news cycle.

Clippers vs. Jazz Best NBA Prop Bets

Clippers Best NBA Prop Bet

John Collins is apt going to travel disconnected nan chair to commencement nan play for Los Angeles, but I deliberation he’s a small undervalued successful his rebound prop.

Collins averages 8.1 rebounds per crippled for his career, and he’s vanished each NBA play pinch astatine slightest 6.5 rebounds per game. While he whitethorn not play starter minutes, Collins is going to beryllium a cardinal portion of nan Clippers 2nd unit, and he should find himself playing alongside a weaker rebounding halfway successful Lopez.

Lopez averaged conscionable 5.0 rebounds successful 31.8 minutes per crippled past season, and I wouldn’t beryllium shocked if nan Clippers usage Collins successful immoderate closing lineups this season. Against a Utah discourtesy that should beryllium beautiful shaky, Collins is simply a coagulated stake to decorativeness pinch six aliases much rebounds connected opening night. 

If you’re going to stake connected nan Clippers and laic a large number, it mightiness arsenic good beryllium early successful nan play erstwhile nan squad is healthy.

The Clippers person a ton of veterans – and a ton of extent – successful nan 2025-26 season, and they were elite pinch Kawhi Leonard successful nan lineup (26-11) successful nan 2024-25 campaign.

L.A. fundamentally swapped Powell for Beal, Lopez and Collins, and I deliberation it’s successful a premier spot to rustle retired a young Utah Jazz squad that has questions astatine conscionable astir each position but astatine powerfulness guardant (Lauri Markkanen) and halfway (Walker Kessler). 

The Jazz person a ton of young guards that they’re trying to get a look at, and that’s a look for a batch of ups and downs, particularly erstwhile nan remainder of nan roster has been gutted of contributing veterans.

The Clippers had nan fourth-best against nan dispersed grounds successful nan NBA past play (50-38-1), and I expect them to rotation connected nan roadworthy connected opening night.

Pick: Clippers -9.5 (-108 astatine DraftKings)
