Season series: Clippers lead 1-0; LA won 110-98 as 2-point favorites Nov. 6 at home as the Under (212.5) cashed
The Clippers enter on a 4-game win and cover streak since a 125-104 setback to the Rockets in Houston on Nov. 15. The Under has cashed in each of the past 4 games, too, with Los Angeles allowing 99 or fewer points in the previous 3 outings.
The 76ers picked up a 113-98 win as 3-point favorites over the Brooklyn Nets at home Friday as the Under (214.5) cashed. That halted a 5-game losing streak. Philly is also just 2-7 against the spread (ATS) in the past 9 games despite Friday’s cover.
Philly is banged up, with C Joel Embiid (knee), F Paul George (knee) and G Kyle Lowry (hip) each nursing injuries.

Clippers at 76ers picks and predictions
Prediction
Clippers 105, 76ers 97
Moneyline
The Clippers (-115) are only worth playing over the spread, if you like Los Angeles, but feel it will only win this game by a single point.
PASS.
Against the spread
Back CLIPPERS -1.5 (-105) for the cheaper price. They need to cash by 2 or more points, and you save a little bit on the juice vs. just betting the moneyline.
Los Angeles has been red-hot lately, going for 4 consecutive wins and covers. The 76ers +1.5 (-115) are showing no signs of pulling out of their nosedive, and it will be especially difficult Sunday without PG13, Embiid and potentially Lowry.
Over/Under
UNDER 209.5 (-110) is worth a look, as the Clippers have been all about defense lately.
The Clips have cashed low in 4 straight games, while going 8-2 across the past previous 10 contest. This L.A. defense has limited teams to 105 or fewer points in 9 of the past 12 outings.
The 76ers have cashed low in 3 of the past 4 outings, while going 7-2 in the past 9 games. And, again, Philly will be missing several offensive stars, so points will be at a premium against a tough Clippers D.
