The Milwaukee Bucks invade the Intuit Dome to battle the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night. Here’s a Clippers vs Bucks Prediction. This article will include a Clippers vs Bucks Pick.

Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks have been a team on the rise as they’ve won eight of their last nine games overall and they will be gunning for a sixth straight victory after blowing past the Heat in a 125-96 home win on Thursday. Damian Lillard led the team with 29 points, nine rebounds, and 11 assists, Giannis Antetokounmpo added 25 points with 12 rebounds and four assists while Gary Trent Jr drained seven 3-pointers to finish with 21 points off the bench. As a team, the Bucks shot 46 percent from the field and 18 of 40 from the 3-point line as they took control of the contest with a 44-point explosion in the second quarter, allowing them to cruise in the second half to win big at home.

Los Angeles Clippers

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers have been in fine form as they’ve won five of their last seven games overall and they will be eager to stay hot after making light work of the lowly Wizards in a 110-93 home win on Thursday. Norman Powell led the team with 22 points on nine of 18 shooting, Derrick Jones Jr added 19 points while James Harden tallied a triple-double of 17 points with 12 rebounds and 13 assists. As a team, the Clippers shot 45 percent from the field and 13 of 38 from the 3-point line, but this win was set up by their effort on defense as they always led by double digits after restricting the Wizards to just 41 points in the first half.

Why the Los Angeles Clippers will win

  • The home team has won each of the Bucks’ last six games.
  • The Bucks have lost four of their last five night games against Pacific Division opponents.
  • The favorites have covered the spread in each of the Bucks’ last six games.
  • The Bucks have failed to cover the spread in eight of their last nine games as road underdogs against Pacific Division opponents.

Why the Milwaukee Bucks will win

  • The Bucks have won eight of their last nine games.
  • The Clippers have lost six of their last 10 games as favorites against Central Division opponents following a win.
  • The Bucks have covered the spread in each of their last five games.
  • The Clippers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last five games against Central Division opponents that held a winning record.

Matchup/League Facts

  • The Clippers rank 2nd in the league for opponent three-point percentage this season (33.8%).
  • The Clippers rank 2nd in the league for Q1 opponent points per game this season (26.1).
  • The Bucks rank 2nd in the league for three-point percentage this season (39.0%).
  • The Bucks rank 29th in the league for free throw percentage this season (73.3%).

Clippers vs Bucks Prediction

The Bucks are still missing AJ Green, while the Clippers have ruled out Kris Dunn and they have Jordan Miller listed as questionable. The Bucks come into this meeting with plenty of momentum, so I am a little surprised to see them as underdogs in this one, but the Clippers are also playing great basketball at the moment so this one could go either way. It’s hard to split these two teams right now, but I think the Bucks are being slightly disrespected as underdogs in this spot.
