Cavaliers vs Clippers prediction
The Cavs are as healthy as they’ve been in a while, and they need to win if they hope to hold onto the third seed in the East. However, the Cavaliers have lost 7 of their last 10 games, and being on the end of a back to back doesn’t help much. Kawhi Leonard is questionable with a knee injury, so the Clippers have issues of their own. However, the Clippers are at home with the rest advantage, and they’ve won 7 of their last 10 games. The Clippers are a win or two away from clinching a top-4 seed in the West. I’ll lay the reasonable line with the Clippers.
