Betting on the Los Angeles Clippers
- Regular Season Record: 25-24
As we said, the Los Angeles Clippers are in the Play-In zone. Still, they are only one game behind the Mavericks, so if they win they can get into the top six, which would be the seeds that qualify directly to the postseason.
The only problem is that they are not consistent. The team has only attained two wins in the last 5 games it has played, and, obviously, it is unable to climb up positions. The Clippers seem to win one game, and lose three. What’s more, they have already gone a long time without attaining two wins in a row (12 games to be exact).
Kawhi Leonard is playing at a good level, and that’s good news for the Clippers. He has been averaging 26.4 points in 10 games, and he is performing well. The problem with the Clippers is that they cannot hold leads, and they find themselves chasing after their opponents almost at every game, which wears them down.
Betting on the Los Angeles Lakers
- Regular Season Record: 21-25
The Los Angeles Lakers are eliminated, for now. Let us explain. The Lakers are currently outside the Play-In zone, but they are only two games away from it, so if they get their act together, they could manage to hit a good run and get in. The problem is that injuries are not helping them at all.
Because of those, the Lakers cannot have their best players on the court. For this game, they will probably play without Anthony Davis, who has been playing very well, and LeBron James, who has not had his best season and has missed about 30% of the games this campaign.
In the meantime, Russell Westbrook is in charge of the team’s offense. On the last game the team played, it ended the Grizzlies’ winning streak by a 122-121 win, in which Westbrook scored 29 points.
JefeBet Prediction
This Clippers vs Lakers clash is the third game of the series between the two teams. The Clippers have a 2-0 record, winning the first encounter against the Lakers 103-97, and the second one 114-101. That is why we believe that they will win the third encounter and come close to sweeping their regional rival. Los Angeles will be painted red, white and blue for this clash.
Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers Moneyline.
