For today’s matchup we are recommending to take the Clippers to secure the win, with an expected final score of 115-104. When it comes to the spread, we believe they’ll cover at -8.5.
Right now, the over/under line for the game is sitting at 228 and given that our model is projecting 219 points between the teams, we like the under. In fact, we have more confidence in Under 228 than the point spread pick. The Clippers were an “under machine” at home last season, and that could spill into this season.
