The Californians are losing distance against their rivals in the West, while those from Mickey Mouse’s home are already last in the East and are playing worse every day.

Betting on the Los Angeles Clippers
After two consecutive wins, we all thought that the Clippers would rebound and climb up the standings, but they lost against Utah by 125-112 and against the Kings by 123-96. In the game against Sacramento, they did not play particularly well, and they seemed to be very distrustful.
Their main problem is injuries. Norman Powell, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Luke Kennard will be out for this game. So, they are relying on what Ivica Zubac can do, but the Bosnian can’t do it all alone and the secondary isn’t helping him at all.
They start a 4-game road trip away from home, and it is important not to lose any more games because the Warriors, who have already woken up, are starting to slip away from them, while the Kings and the Trail Blazers are getting dangerously close.
Betting on the Orlando Magic
Say hello to the new king of the bottom of the East. They have a record of 8 consecutive losses, including a pair of thrashings against Philadelphia by 133-103 and against Atlanta by 125-108. They are playing for absolutely nothing, and confidence is at rock bottom. They look like Gerardo Martino’s team.
Paolo Banchero’s intermittency has been noticeable. When they are connected they compete more, but the team defends very poorly and they also have the problem of injuries. Jalen Suggs, Gary Harris, Mo Bamba, and Wendall Carter will be out, and the subs are not responding.
It could be a good time for the Magic because they will play 4 games at home and maybe winning a couple of games will help them to get out of the basement and catch the Pistons to sign a more presentable season. Or, who knows, if they get into a rhythm, why not think about a wild card—it’s worth dreaming about it.
JefeBet Prediction
Both are bad, and as we said in the beginning, bad against bad is good. Besides, both need to win, so some negative streak will end and bless God there are no draws because they are capable of equalizing.
We think the Clippers will sink more a Magic that is not getting up and that is suffering much more with the amount of injuries they have. Los Angeles also has some injured, but they also count on better elements in the secondary that can respond against the Magic.
Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers Moneyline.
