Betting on the Atlanta Hawks
- Regular Season Record: 18-21
The Atlanta Hawks have just one win in the last five games played, which is a warning sign that, although they are now in Playoff positions, they are having a hard time getting positive results. They just lost their 21st game of the season by a score of 130-114 against the Los Angeles Lakers.
In that game, the team had a forgettable first half, and although it tried to recover in the second half, the team’s efforts were not enough. This game is not expected to be much easier for the Atlanta franchise, despite the fact that their opponents are not going through their best moment either.
Betting on the Los Angeles Clippers
- Regular Season Record: 21-20
The Los Angeles Clippers‘ current situation is a constant concern for their those who sorround the team, as their last victory was attained on December 27. That loss came against the Toronto Raptors by a score of 124-113, and ever since then, the Los Angeles franchise has recorded five losses in a row. Their last loss was to the Minnesota Timberwolves by 128-115 score.
The Clippers are among the teams that has already passed the 40 games, and with a 21-20 record, it is clear how inconsistent their season has been. They have a .512 winning percentage. Moreover, along with the Phoenix Suns, they are the team with the worst performance in the last five games in the Pacific Division.
JefeBet Prediction
This Hawks vs Clippers game is the first time that these teams have faced each other in the 2022-23 season, and their current performance isn’t living up to the expectations. However, considering that the Clippers will be playing at home, and that they have attained three wins in a row against their current opponent, a win for the Los Angeles franchise can be expected by a minimal difference in points.
Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers win by 3 points.
