Cavaliers vs Clippers Prediction
The Clippers finally won a game, but they’re still banged up, rely on Harden to do everything, and they’re on the end of a back-to-back. The Clippers are also just 5-11 ATS on the season. The Cavs aren’t covering numbers in their own right, as they’re 5-12 ATS on the season, but I’m still going to back them here. The Clippers have a lot going on, from the sluggish play to the injuries, and a win over a bottom feeder doesn’t move the needle. Assuming the line isn’t anything nuts, I’ll be on the Cavs, but there are better options out there on Sunday.
