Prediction
Clippers 118, Grizzlies 108
Moneyline (ML)
The Clippers (-455) are on a bit of a cold streak as they have lost four of their last five games. They are still one of the best home teams in the NBA, winning seven of their last nine games at Staples Center. PASS on this moneyline in favor of better value on the point spread.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Clippers to win outright returns a profit of just $2.20.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The CLIPPERS (-9.5, -110) have not fared well against the spread as of late, as they have failed to cover in five of their last seven contests. On the other hand, the Grizzlies (+9.5, -110) have been much better against the spread, going 8-4 in their last 12 games. Memphis has several injuries to important players and could be overwhelmed against a longer Clippers’ team. Take Los Angeles to cover the spread and win by at least 10 points Monday night.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this Western Conference matchup is set at 232.5 points, which feels a bit high considering the injuries to both sides. While both defenses are currently struggling, Memphis has scored over 112 points only once in its last five games. Expect this to be a fairly high scoring affair, but for the UNDER 232.5 (-106) to hit in Los Angeles.
