Bucks at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 115, Bucks 106

Moneyline

PASS.

The Clippers (-130) should win, but there is no need to buy the 2.5 points when Los Angeles would likely cover its short spread with a win. Lay the points and/or bet the total instead.

Against the spread

BET CLIPPERS -2.5 (-105).

The Clippers will be extra focused Friday to get revenge vs. the Bucks, who came back from a 21-point deficit to stun Los Angeles on national television Feb. 2. The Clippers have played well vs. Milwaukee in recent years and are 7-3-1 ATS vs. the Bucks in the last 11 meetings. Milwaukee had to rally late to pull off the improbable cover vs. the Lakers Thursday and may be due for a letdown after such an impressive 4th quarter.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 227.5 (-112).

The Under is 6-1 in Milwaukee’s last 7 road games vs. teams with a winning record at home and 5-1 in the Bucks’ last 6 after covering in their previous contest. The Under has hit in 7 of Los Angeles’ last 8 games after failing to cover in its previous contest and is 21-5 in the Clippers’ last 26 home games.

The Clippers have won their last four home contests. Three of them were by six points or fewer.

The Bucks are 8-5 against Western Conference teams this season.

Bucks at Clippers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Bucks 117, Clippers 112

Money line (ML)

Slight LEAN toward BUCKS (+115) for a quarter-unit only because Milwaukee plus the points is a far better play.

Both teams are playing great lately—the Clippers and Bucks are second and third, respectively, in net rating post-All-Star break—but, Milwaukee was without Antetokounmpo, SF Khris Middleton and PG Jrue Holiday in its previous game against the Knicks.

Also, Los Angeles is still without two starters in Beverley and Ibaka, both of whom have a plus on-off court net rating and both played in the first Bucks-Clippers game this year.

Again, it’s only a lean but the BUCKS (+115) are the right side.

Against the spread (ATS)

Definitely BET the BUCKS +2.5 (-110) instead of or heavier than Milwaukee’s money line.

The Bucks have won all three meetings (2-1 ATS) with the Clippers since L.A. acquired Kawhi Leonard and Paul George in 2019.

Also, this is the biggest game on the NBA’s Monday slate and is getting the most betting action.

According to Pregame.com, nearly three-fourths of the market is betting the Clippers to cover and it’s generally a profitable gambling strategy to fade this one-sided of a market.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS since my predicted score is aligned with BetMGM‘s projected total.

If anything, I lean Under 231.5 (-110) because the past two Bucks-Clippers games went Under the total and each team’s defense should tighten up since this is a high-profile matchup.

However, these teams have a combined 54-36-2 O/U record this season and the Clippers score more points and allow more points at home compared to on the road.
