Los Angeles Clippers Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Clippers have been in a real slump, as they’ve lost six of their last nine games overall. They will be hoping to snap a three-game skid after getting beaten by the Pistons in a 106-97 road defeat on Monday. James Harden led the team with 18 points, 12 rebounds, and five assists on five of 22 shooting, Derrick Jones Jr added 15 points off the bench while Ivica Zubac chipped in with 13 points, 15 rebounds, and five assists. As a team, the Clippers shot just 40 percent from the field and 11 of 41 from the 3-point line as they struggled to get going and managed just 17 points in the first quarter. However, they started to fall behind once the Pistons started to take over at the end of the third quarter.
Chicago Bulls Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been in a major slump as they were on a six-game losing streak before they snapped out of it with an impressive 142-110 road win over the 76ers on Monday. Josh Giddey led the team with 25 points, 16 rebounds, and six assists, Kevin Huerter drained seven 3-pointers to add 23 points while Zach Collins chipped in with 19 points. As a team, the Bulls shot 50 percent from the field and 18 of 40 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 39 points in the first quarter. They didn’t take their foot off the gas until they led by an incredible 50 points to come away with their most dominant win of the season.

Bulls vs Clippers Prediction
The Clippers are still playing without Norman Powell, while the Bulls have ruled out Jalen Smith and they have Ayo Dosunmu listed as questionable. The Clippers have gone cold lately as they’ve struggled to compete with so many key players injured, but Kawhi Leonard isn’t listed on the injury report. This could be handy against this Bulls team who were ice-cold before they beat the 76ers for their best win of the season. I think the Clippers snap out of their funk with a much-needed win here, but with the line so high, I can’t help but lean toward the Bulls with the points in what should be a close contest.
