Why Should You Bet on the Clippers?
Los Angeles has been missing Blake Griffin in the past couple of weeks, and their win-loss record has suffered as a result. However, DeAndre Jordan has finally decided to start picking up some of the slack inside, and his 15 points and 13 boards were a huge factor in the Clippers’ rout of the Celtics. Chris Paul was a big part of the story too, scoring 13 points and dishing out 14 assists in just 26 minutes of play, as he got to head to the bench once the game got out of hand. The Clippers also got 67 points from their reserve players, a sign that the offense is clicking on all cylinders. If Jordan can keep up the dominant play inside, the Clippers may find that they miss Griffin less and less.
Why Should You Put Your Money on Minnesota?
With each passing week, the young core in Minnesota is showing more and more that they can win. They got caught in a track meet with the Suns, but they won the first period, 40-37, and had a 20-point lead in the second half. The Suns did go on a run to close the gap to five by the end, but Andrew Wiggins posted 32 points and Karl-Anthony Towns added 27, pulling down 10 rebounds, and the Timberwolves picked up their third win in the last four contests. If the Clippers aren’t paying attention inside, the Timberwolves could bang their way to an eye-popping upset — or at least keep the losing margin in single digits.
Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction
I like the Clippers to stay on this roll (they have won three in a row). I’m predicting a 118-101 Clipper win.
