Betting on the Los Angeles Clippers
- Season record: 27-24
The combination of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George has given the Clippers the expected result, at least for now. Both players are healthy and have led the California team to five consecutive victories. This streak has moved them up to fifth place in the Western Conference, occupying a direct spot in the playoffs.
Most notably during that stretch, four of those wins came on the road, and they will need to maintain that performance if they are to come out of an ongoing Eastern road trip that began last night against the Atlanta Hawks.
The Clippers continue to have poor overall offensive numbers, but things have not been that way recently, as they have given up an average of 123.4 points scored in their last five games.
Betting on the Cleveland Cavaliers
- Season record: 30-21
The Cavaliers’ season continues to be good, but they have been very inconsistent in the last weeks. To make matters worse, they have not been able to strung together consecutive victories since January 4, something that has been relegating them from the fight for the top of the East.
The Cavs will return home after a three-game road trip in which they lost two games. The last of those losses came last Friday by a score of 100-112 to the Oklahoma City Thunder, a game in which they played without Donovan Mitchell.
The Cavaliers’ offense has never been very productive, averaging a mere 111.3 points scored per game, so Mitchell’s absence would be a big loss for the team, considering that the 26-year-old guard is the team’s offensive leader with 28.3 points and 4.8 assists per game.
JefeBet Prediction
The moment the Clippers are going through is simply spectacular, however, things will not be in their favor here as they will be playing this matchup without days of rest, a condition that does not suit them at all given that they have a 3-7 record and usually rest Leonard.
Making matters worse for the Clippers is the fact that the Cavaliers have been terrific at home this campaign, being owners of a 20-5 record and covering the spread 16 times in the process.
Even without Mitchell, the Cavaliers have quality players like Caris LeVert and Darius Garland, in addition to being the best defensive team in the league. Therefore, we expect the Cavaliers to take control of this match and come away with a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers Spread.
