Paul George could sit for Clippers' second leg Wednesday
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George is uncertain for Wednesday versus the Los Angeles Lakers, per head coach Ty Lue.
What It Means:
Lue said George and Kawhi Leonard are both uncertain for the second leg of the Clippers' back-to-back. George scored 27 points (8-17 field goals, 6-9 3-pointers, 5-6 free throws) with 7 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals on Tuesday in a 118-102 victory over the Orlando Magic. Bones Hyland, Norman Powell, and Russell Westbrook will play larger roles on offense if George is sidelined. There would also be more minutes for Kobe Brown and Amir Coffey.
numberFire's models project George ($8,400) for 35.0 minutes and 37.8 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Clippers' implied total is 110.0 and the game total is 226.0. Kawhi is third on the Clippers this season with a 26.1% usage rate.
