76ers at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Clippers 118, 76ers 107
Moneyline
The Clippers (-450) will cost you 4 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward.
PASS, and look to the spread instead.
Against the spread
The CLIPPERS -9.5 (-110) are a strong play to get the job done against the 76ers +9.5 (-110) by at least double digits.
LA has had some trouble lately, winning just 3 of the past 7 games. However, when it comes to facing teams from the Eastern Conference, the Clippers are 9-6 ATS in the past 15 games against the East.
Philadelphia has struggled lately when it is supposed to. In other words, as an underdog of 8 or more points it is 0-2-1 ATS since Feb. 27. This is just a different team without C Joel Embiid in the middle, and that’s obviously not a good thing.
Over/Under
OVER 215 (-110) is worth a look, even though the trends for the 76ers might suggest otherwise.
Yes, Philly has seen the total go low at a 7-0-1 clip in the past 8 games. But the Over has connected at a 5-2 run in the past 7 contests. Look for LA to keep up the good work offensively against the shorthanded Sixers.
