Pacers at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Clippers 122, Pacers 105
PASS.
Indiana is a team that’s actively trying to lose, so the Clippers will easily cover here as -625 favorites. However, they are not worth the risk of backing here as such heavy favorites, so pass and bet on the spread and/or total instead.
BET CLIPPERS -12.5 (-105).
The Clippers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games and 32-28 ATS this season. On the other side, the Pacers have dropped 6 straight ATS and are 28-33 ATS on the season. LA has also covered the spread in each of its last 5 wins against the Pacers.
Be aware that the Pacers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 matchups against LA.
LEAN OVER 226.5 (-105).
The Over has hit in 6 of the Pacers’ last 8 games and is 3-1 in its last 4 road games. For LA, the Over is 4-2 in its last 6 and 32-28 on the season. The Over is also a dominant 9-1 in the last 10 matchups between these squads, having hit in all of the last 5 meetings.
This is a lean because Indiana has the worst offensive rating in the league and is bottom 4 in PPG.
