76ers vs Clippers Injury Report

The Clippers will be without Bradley Beal and Kawhi Leonard. Derrick Jones Jr. and Jordan Miller are questionable.
76ers vs Clippers Prediction
The Clippers still aren’t winning, and they’re just 4-10 ATS on the season. They’re also down two of their top players and saw Jones and Miller leave yesterday. On the end of a back-to-back, it’s hard to like the Clippers in this spot.
The 76ers are not only 9-2-1 ATS on the season, but they have the rest advantage and there’s a chance Paul George returns, as he’s listed as questionable at the time of this writing. You can argue the 76ers should be bigger favorites given the Clippers current form and injury report. Give me Philly and the reasonable line.
