Betting on the Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers are still playing without Paul George, and adapting to that situation has been difficult. Although they have won games, they have not been able tomantain a significant streak of games with good results, and that keeps them in mid-table position in the West. They are still chasing the leaders, but they can no longer afford to lose any more games, as they are 3.5 games behind the top.
Ivica Zubac and John Wall have really carried the team on their shoulders, and in recent games, they have contributed offensively and defensively. The Clippers have only won two of their last five games, and that is not good for the goals they have.
The team has good away numbers, as they have won more than they have lost (6-5), but the idea is not to lose so many games, as they have four away games coming up, and if they want to think about the playoffs, they need to win more games, especially away from Los Angeles.
Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
MJ’s team falls short of His Air Majesty’s expectations. They experienced eight consecutive losses at some point during the season, and although they have improved a bit, they are still a weak team in all its lines. Of the last five games they won three, and that is already something quite positive.
Kelly Oubre Jr is their leading scorer with 19.8 points per game, which is a very low average for the NBA, but this speaks a little bit about the team’s reality, which at the moment is not good at all. Lately, it has been Terry Rozier who has been the most important palyer, and against the Wizards he scored 25 points and dished out eight assists.
The Hornets have some tough games coming up, but their animic state is better because of the 117-116 win over Washington. Against the Clippers are expected to find a more in shape team that doesn’t play bad away from home, so there will not be easy times ahead for Charlotte.
JefeBet Prediction
At home, Charlotte is not doing so well. They have lost more than they have won, and they will be facing a team that performs well as visitors. That is why we believe that the Clippers will take the win and continue to be going after the leaders in the West .
Collectively, the Clippers are a much better team than the weaker Hornets who are still rebuilding. Better times will come for MJ’s team, but this time around, I don’t see how they can beat the Clippers, who are even aiming for the Finals if their star players recover for it.
