Trail Blazers and Clippers picks and predictions

forecast

Clippers 116, Trail Blazers 105

Money line

HAPPEN.

The Clippers (-350) should win this game, but as heavy home favorites they are not worth playing. Likewise, the Trail Blazers have lost 3 of 4 and are 0-1 away from home. They are not worth playing as a big (+280) underdog on the road.

Against the spread

BET CLIPPERS -8.5 (-110).

The Clippers are on the rise this season and have the star power with Harden to compete without Leonard. Los Angeles won all three games, including two against top playoff-level teams. Portland has lost 2 of its 4 games by double digits and is 0-1 ATS on the road.

The inefficiency of its stars – both of Portland's top scorers have shooting percentages of 42% or worse – is worrisome and a cause for concern. At the beginning of the season, take on the more efficient team that exceeded expectations. Back Scissors -8.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 219.5 (-110).

The Trail Blazers are 2-2 O/U this season and have saved one over and one under in all four games. They are poised to get an over in this game after scoring just 98 against the Kings on Monday (the Pelicans had 125). the game before).

The Clippers are 1-2 O/U but have scored 109 or more in all 4 games so they should be able to score more than their fair share of points. They have exceeded that point total in two of three games, scoring at least 213 points in all three games combined.

Given these trends back OVER 219.5 (-110).
