Los Angeles Clippers vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction

The Cleveland Cavaliers have played well enough over the last couple of weeks to where free points at home is hard to turn down. With that said, the Clippers continue to flex their muscle as possibly the best team in the league, and they’re not a team I’m eager to jump in front of. The Clippers continue to rack up the wins, and they’ve covered 7 of their last 10 games. And while the Cavs are doing similar things, we can’t forget they’re undermanned. I’ll lay the bucket with a stacked and red-hot Clippers side.
