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.
