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.

The Los Angeles Clippers (36-38) host the Philadelphia 76ers (45-27) Friday at Crypto.com Arena for a 10:30 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we look at the 76ers vs. Clippers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

L.A. has lost 5 of the last 6 games (2-4 ATS) with the latest being a 127-115 loss at the Denver Nuggets Tuesday. However, the Clippers upset the Sixers 102-101 in Philly Jan. 21 despite Sixers  C Joel Embiid scoring a game-high 40 points on 60.0% shooting (including 3-for-3 from behind the arc).

76ers at Clippers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 116, Clippers 114

Money line

SPRINKLE on CLIPPERS (+170) because I’m very confident in L.A.’s spread and the Clippers have coaching and continuity edges over the 76ers.

L.A. moved on from former head coach Doc Rivers to current head coach Tyronn Lue and have been better off from the change. Also, I’m looking to fade Philly when it plays well-coached teams that can defend.

According to CleaningTheGlass.com, the Sixers are 10-11 SU when playing teams in the top 10 of defensive rating with a minus-4.6 adjusted net rating (ranked 17th).

We are seeing reverse-line movement (RLM) in L.A.’s direction since nearly 90% of the action is on Philly’s ML, but that number is shrinking, according to Pregame.com. It’s a red flag whenever sportsbooks make the more popular side cheaper.

Again, my preferred play is L.A. plus the points, but there’s value on the CLIPPERS (+170).

Against the spread

BET CLIPPERS +5.5 (-120) instead of or heavier than their ML because we are seeing the same RLM in the ATS market and the 76ers are 28th in ATS margin versus top-10 defenses at minus-5.1, per CTG.

Furthermore, the Clippers have a lot more depth than the Sixers and are better in close games. L.A.’s bench is fourth in points per game (PPG) and Philly’s bench is 28th in PPG.

Plus, the Clippers are fourth in “clutch” net rating whereas the Sixers are 10th in “clutch” net rating. “Clutch” is defined by games within a 5-point margin inside of five minutes to play.

L.A.’s proficiency in close games gives me more confidence it’s the right side. The CLIPPERS PLUS THE POINTS is my favorite wager in this game.

Over/Under

Slight LEAN OVER 218.5 (-110) because L.A.’s spread is my best bet in this game. L.A. can get hot from behind the arc, but the previous 76ers-Clippers game went 11 points Under the total, so I think this meeting ping pongs Over the total.
