The Nets have shown some signs of life lately, winning 3 of their last 4 games while going 3-0-1 ATS. Defensive play has been a huge reason for the turnaround, as Brooklyn has allowed 96 or fewer points in each of the past 4 outings, and the Under has cashed in 6 in a row for the Nets.
The Clippers have also been hot lately, going for 5 wins in their last 6 contests, while cashing at a 4-1 ATS clip in the previous 5 outings. Like Brooklyn, it’s been all about the Under lately, too, going 10-2 in 12 games overall.

Nets at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Clippers 106, Nets 103
Moneyline
The CLIPPERS (-120) are a solid play straight up, as this one should be close. Both of these teams are playing well lately, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see this game decided by one score, perhaps going down to the last possession.
Against the spread
CLIPPERS -1.5 (-110) is the lean here.
Los Angeles has covered 4 of its past 5 games overall, while Brooklyn is 3-0-1 ATS in the previous 4 outings. The Clips are 5-2 ATS in the past 7 home games against teams with a losing road record.
While the Nets have shown some signs of life lately, the turnaround has occurred against the likes of the New York Knicks, Dallas Mavericks, Charlotte Hornets and Washington Wizards — teams with a combined 21-27 SU record.
Over/Under
Play the UNDER 213.5 (-115) is the best play on the board in this one.
The Nets have hit the Under in each of the past 6 outings and the Under is 4-0 in their last 4 games on the road.
For the Clips, the Under has cashed at a 13-3 clip across the past 16 games dating back to last season, while going 5-1 in the past 6 at home.
