Clippers at Nets picks and predictions
Prediction
Clippers 113, Nets 106
PASS.
There is better value on the Clippers (-190) spread.
BET CLIPPERS -4.5 (-110).
The Clippers have won 7 of their last 9 games while covering in 6 of those contests. They have gained momentum as a team since late December and have dominated the Nets dating back to 2024, winning each of the last 3 games by double digits, including both matchups last season by at least 32 points. Keep an eye on the injury report, as Leonard being out would certainly affect the outcome and, at the very least, the odds.
The Nets have failed to cover in 3 of their last 5 games, including 2 of their last 3 as underdogs.
BET OVER 215.5 (-105).
The Clippers have scored at least 124 points in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these teams, with the Over hitting in 3 of those games.
The Clippers have scored 111 or more points in 7 of their last 8 games, including at least 115 in 5 of those contests. They have allowed at least 123 points in 2 of their last 3 games.
The Nets have scored at least 103 points in 5 of their last 7 games, including back-to-back outings. They have allowed at least 115 points in 4 of their last 5 games.
