Cavaliers at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Clippers 117, Cavaliers 112
Moneyline
PASS.
I expect LA (-168) to pick up the win, but the Clippers are slightly too expensive to risk betting on. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
LEAN CLIPPERS -4 (-110).
The Clippers have covered the spread in back-to-back games and are 3-2 ATS in their last 5. They also hold a narrow 6-4 ATS lead in the last 6 meetings with Cleveland and are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 vs. the Cavaliers in LA.
This is a risky bet, as Cleveland is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 vs. LA.
Over/Under
BET OVER 220 (-110).
The Over has hit in 3 of LA’s last 4 home games and is 7-3 in the Clippers’ last 10 overall.
For Cleveland, the Over is 7-3 in its last 10 games. The Over has also hit in 3 of the last 4 Cleveland-LA matchups and is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.
