Betting on the Los Angeles Clippers
- Regular Season Record: 26-24
Being able to count on Kawhi Leonard and Paul George at the same time once again is starting to give the Los Angeles Clippers the expected results, as the team has looked much more solid in the last week, arriving here with four consecutive wins behind them.
Three of those four wins have come away from home, where they have posted a 13-13 record despite the constant injuries that have plagued them throughout the campaign. And even as visitors they have been much more effective on offense, averaging 113.0 points scored per game, while at home they average just 106.3 points.
However, not everything is rosy for the Clippers, as they have lost 13 of the 26 games on the road for a reason mainly due to their defense, which is the third best in the league. However, when away from home, they average a disappointing 115.0 points allowed per game..
Betting on the Atlanta Hawks
- Regular Season Record: 25-24
The Atlanta Hawks have had an even more interesting turnaround than the Clippers, winning seven of their last ten games to put their record back above .500 after a long time, with Clint Capela’s return from a few weeks of injury being key in that process.
After two defeats in a row, the team led by Nate McMillan managed to avoid going back to the bad days by achieving an outstanding win at home to the Oklahoma City Thunder by a score of 137-132 last Wednesday. In the game, the stellar performance went to their star player, Trae Young, who recorded 33 points and 11 assists, being one of five players on the team to score at least 18 points.
Although he has perhaps been more inconsistent than in previous seasons, Young has continued to lead the Hawks in several offensive metrics with 27.1 points and 9.9 assists per game. In addition, he now has more solid help in the form of Dejounte Murray, who averages 20.9 points and 6.0 assists per game.
JefeBet Prediction
The Clippers have shown their great quality recently; however, their defensive problems away from home are worrisome, even more so against a team like the Hawks who come in inspired and have two players with a lot of offensive power (Young and Murray).
However, let’s do not forget that the Hawks are no defensive eminence either, and they will probably have a hard time stopping Leonard and Paul, who are healthy and improving.
The Clippers are at a very good level and are capable of giving any team a fight right now, but the Hawks are no slouch and have looked very solid at home in recent weeks, and will also be coming in with an extra day of rest. For this reason, we expect Atlanta to prevail in what will be a tough match.
Prediction: Atlanta Hawks Moneyline.
