Here's why we're backing the Over.
Kawhi Leonard Stats & Recent Form
Leonard is averaging 29.2 points per game over his last five contests, with multiple games exceeding 32 points. He's operating at near 50% from the field and 40% from three, a pace that projects well for a 28.5-point line.

Matchup Analysis: Los Angeles Clippers vs New Orleans Pelicans
New Orleans ranks 22nd in perimeter defense efficiency and has struggled containing opposing wings, particularly against elite shot-makers. The Pelicans' defensive scheme leaves Leonard room to operate in transition and in isolation situations. With no major injuries affecting Leonard's availability, and the Clippers likely to control pace and tempo, expect plenty of scoring opportunities for the Clippers' alpha scorer.

Over 28.5 Points — Leonard's current form, the Pelicans' defensive vulnerabilities, and his role as the primary offensive engine for Los Angeles make this Over a confident play.
