Cavaliers vs Clippers Prediction
The Clippers won’t have Kawhi Leonard for this one, but I’m grabbing the points anyway. The Cavs are giving off weird vibes as of late, as they’ve split their last 10 games and just lost to the Pistons without Cade Cunningham. While still profitable on the season, the Cavs have failed to cover seven of their last 10 games.
The Clippers are fighting to stay out of the play-in tournament, and they’ve been rolling lately, which includes an 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS records in their last 10 games. The Clippers beat up on the Cavs a couple of weeks ago, scoring 132 points. Give me the Clippers and the buckets.
