Bucks vs Clippers Prediction
As I mentioned yesterday, the Bucks just don’t have the bodies to compete night to night. The Bucks are coming off blowout losses to the Clippers, Trail Blazers and Spurs. Playing last night doesn’t help. The Bucks are in tank mode and a good chunk of their rotation is out. The Clippers beat the Bucks a week ago by 33 points and they need to take advantage of games like this to keep that eighth seed in the west. Big number, but the Bucks have shown you this week how things are going to play out the rest of the way. This team is cooked, like the kids say. Give me the Clippers in a beatdown victory.
