Betting on the Los Angeles Clippers
Thanks to Kawhi Leonard’s comeback and Paul George, who has not only recovered from his physical discomfort but also demonstrated a great level by arriving here with seven victories in his past nine outings, the Clippers have begun to play like it was expected of them.
The Clippers are in the fourth game of a five-game road trip that started with a loss in Philadelphia but has since been followed by two straight victories, the most recent of which was against the Toronto Raptors by a score of 124-113, in a game in which they had four players with at least 20 points.
Although they once were more productive, the Clippers boast a rather poor offensive average: 109.2 points scored per game, second worst in the league. For the contrary, they have been very strong on defense, registering the third-fewest points allowed per game, 108.6 points.
Betting on the Boston Celtics
The Celtics, who currently lead the Eastern Conference and have a 2.0-game advantage over their nearest challenger due to having the best record in the NBA, have been the best team in the league thus far. They enter this game on a strong run of three straight victories after overcoming an unexpected losing streak.
The Celtics’ offense was once again outstanding in all three victories, scoring more than 120 points each time. They also appeared to play strong defense in their most recent game against the Houston Rockets, whom they defeated by a score of 102-126, improving their home record to 14 wins and 5 losses.
The Celtics’ offense has been stellar this campaign, and comes into this one as the best in the league, with an average of 118.9 points scored per game. The defense has not been the best of them all, averaging 112.1 points allowed per game.
JefeBet Prediction
The Clippers are entering the game on a high note, but they have already been traveling for a number of days, and weariness may start to catch up to them. Additionally, their offense is quite unpredictable. The Celtics might not be the finest defensive team, but they are a team that knows when to put in the defensive effort when it’s needed.
While the Clippers’ defense is among the best in the league, they will have to dig deep to be effective against a Celtics’ offense that is among the best in the NBA and has proven it can harm anyone, especially at home, where it averages 122.9 points scored per game.
We anticipate that the Celtics will dominate the game right away and secure a comfortable victory because they have returned the offensive strength that they had previously lost and shouldn’t have to worry much about a constrained visiting attack this time.
Prediction: Boston Celtics Spread.
