Betting on the Los Angeles Clippers

- BetMGM Spread: [Por definir]

Despite having to deal with the constant absences of their two star players, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the Clippers have managed to keep their record in positive numbers, and now that these two players are recovering from their respective injuries, they are expected to start moving up in the Western Conference.
To do so, they need to improve as soon as possible the poor performance they have had on offense so far, given that they are currently the worst team in the NBA in that aspect with an average of just 107.3 points scored per game, however, it is worth noting how solid their defense has been, which is the fifth best in the league with an average of 109.1 points allowed per game..
Betting on the Washington Wizards
- Season record: 11-14
- BetMGM Spread: [Por definir]
- BetMGM Moneyline: [Por definir]
- BetMGM Over/Under: [Por definir]
For their part, the Wizards have shown some interesting things this campaign, but have not been consistent enough to even have a positive record, something that could be associated to how different they look playing at home, where they have an 8-5 record, to when they play as visitors, where they have a 3-9 record.
The Wizards’ numbers are also not the flashiest of all, with a defense that has given up an average of 112.6 points allowed per game and an offense that averages 111.0 points, and which yearns for the return of Bradley Beal, who is expected to be out of action until mid-December..
JefeBet Prediction
Despite Leonard’s return to action, he is still lacking rhythm, so for now we shouldn’t expect an offensive explosion from a Clippers team that has struggled in that area all year. However, we can expect them to continue to be solid on defense, especially against a team like the Wizards that hasn’t been solid on offense either.
To make matters worse for the capital city team, the fact that they will also play without their star offensive player, Bradley Beal, is something to take into account. Although Kyle Kuzma and Kristaps Porzingis are doing well, it’s not enough to propel the team, so they will have to focus on their defense to try to get good results from now on.
Both teams are clearly struggling to score, however, they have looked decent on their side of the court, especially the Clippers, who have covered the Under in 17 of the 26 games they have played this year. We expect the defenses to be the protagonists here and leave us with a low-scoring game.
Prediction: Under.
