Clippers at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 119, Nets 107

Moneyline

PASS.

At 2.9 times the risk as the return, the moneyline odds are not playable for the Clippers.

Against the spread

BET CLIPPERS -7.5 (-105).

Brooklyn is facing too many injuries to back in this one, including the recent trade of Kyrie Irving to the Mavericks. With their top shooters in Curry and Durant sidelined and Irving no longer with the team, the Clippers should take a road victory by a solid margin in this game.

LA is 7-0 ATS in its last 7 games playing on 1 day’s rest and 7-1 ATS in its last 8 games.

Brooklyn has the 16th-best offense in the league, but that was before All-Star Irving departed for Dallas. Brooklyn will need to rely on its lights-out shooting (50.7%; 2nd) to hang around at home.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 220.5 (-108).

While Brooklyn is facing a lot of absences, this will be a good opportunity for it to show it is more than just Irving and can still be a good team. While their style of play may not look the same, the Nets are still capable of scoring at a high level.

The Over is 5-1-1 in the Nets last 7 games overall and the Over is 5-1-1 in their last 7 games when their opponent scores and allows 100 or more points in their previous game.

For LA, the Over is 6-1 in its last 7 games following a ATS win and 6-1 in its last 7 against a team with a winning straight up record.

Los Angeles Clippers at Brooklyn Nets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Los Angeles Clippers at Brooklyn Nets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Clippers (18-18) travel to Barclays Center to take on the Brooklyn Nets (23-10). Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Clippers vs. Nets odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

With Kawhi Leonard having yet to play this season and now Paul George having torn a ligament in his elbow, the Clippers’ season is in limbo. They’ve lost three of their last four games which includes a 16-point beatdown by the Nets Dec. 27.

With that in mind, neither team has done a great job of covering. The Clippers are just 16-20 ATS while the Nets are 15-19 ATS. The Clippers did not cover as 3.5-point underdogs the last time these two teams met.

As for the Nets, both Kevin Durant and James Harden are expected to play. Nearing full strength, Brooklyn has won seven of its last 10 games. The Nets are coming off an 8-point home loss to the Joel Embiid-led 76ers.

Clippers at Nets odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 112, Clippers 102

Money line

PASS on the money line.

The Clippers have played too well without George which makes the Nets at -1000 unplayable. A -1000 regular-season NBA favorite is never a good play. Similarly, the Clippers to win at +600 isn’t great odds without their star.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the CLIPPERS +12.5 (-112).

While they’ll be without their best player, the Clippers still have one of the best defenses in the NBA. The Clippers rank fourth in defensive rating with the Nets sitting right after them at fifth.

The Clippers also don’t turn the ball over.

They rank in the bottom third of the league in turnover rate. Being down George is huge and I don’t expect them to win, but their defense should be able to hold this one within 13 points.

The Nets have only won by 13 or more once in the past 12 games. It’s a large spread, and with Clippers F Marcus Morris set to guard Kevin Durant, the Clippers should hold it close.

Over/Under

“LEAN” on the UNDER 218.5 (-107).

This is going to be a clash of two top-five defenses, so I’d suggest nothing else than to lay a bet on the Under. At the same time, both teams rank in the bottom half of the league in turnover rate, and the Clippers rank 16th in pace.

Durant and Harden will get points on the board, but Nets big LaMarcus Aldridge and PG Patty Mills have been drastically inconsistent with their production the past few weeks.

With the Clippers short-handed, I’ll side with a few points.

Los Angeles Clippers at Brooklyn Nets odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Tuesday’s Los Angeles Clippers at Brooklyn Nets NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Brooklyn Nets (13-9) host the Los Angeles Clippers (16-5) Tuesday at Barclays Center for a 7:30 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we analyze the Clippers-Nets NBA odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

The only disturbance the Clippers have dealt with recently was when their dynamic duo of SF Kawhi Leonard and SG Paul George missed two games. Los Angeles actually split those games (losing at the Atlanta Hawks 108-99 Jan. 26 and winning at the Miami Heat 109-105 Jan. 28). That was the Clippers’ only loss in their last 11 games.

Brooklyn lost a stunner 149-146 Sunday to the Washington Wizards after blowing a 5-point lead with under 10 seconds remaining by allowing both Wizards PG Russell Westbrook and SG Bradley Beal to sink threes.

The story of Brooklyn’s new era continues to be its ability to get buckets and inability to stop anyone. Since SG James Harden joined the Nets Jan. 14, Brooklyn is outscoring opponents 123.7 to 124.6, both of which are the most in the NBA over the last nine games.

Clippers at Nets: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Clippers 121, Nets 118

Money line (ML)

The CLIPPERS (-120) are flying way under the radar compared to last season for several reasons. They shouldn’t be overlooked, as they’ve had an extra season’s worth of continuity with one of the few rosters nearly as talented as Brooklyn’s.

Over the past nine games, Los Angeles quietly has the best net rating in the league and this includes a red-hot Utah Jazz team that just had an 11-game winning streak snapped and the Nets, who are setting the world on fire with their offense.

Leonard has shot better than Nets SF Kevin Durant in their head-to-head history and his teams have a 7-6 record. Harden commits 4.6 turnovers per game and shoots 38.7% from the field and 31.4% on threes in his 20 career games vs. George, and PG’s teams are 14-6 vs. Harden’s.

I’d feel a little better about Los Angeles if Beverley was active so he could pester Nets PG Kyrie Irving on the defensive end but I’ll still TAKE CLIPPERS (-120).

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS. Don’t be cheap, just pay the extra vig so you don’t have to fuss with the spread.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Nets have been as exciting as everyone hoped and eight of their nine games since Jan. 16 have gone Over the projected total.

Los Angeles can fill it up almost as well as Brooklyn and the Clippers are third in offensive rating behind only the Jazz and Nets in the last nine games.

While everything points to this being an awesome game, full of great offense, it’s just too big of a number for a primetime game. Also, we’ve seen too many NBA games turn into routs and the Over is in peril should a team have the game secured midway through the fourth quarter.

I lean UNDER 241.5 (-110) for a tiny wager.
