The LA Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers meet Wednesday in NBA action at the Wells Fargo Center. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Clippers vs 76ers prediction.
Los Angeles Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers have been doing it tough as they've lost six of their last nine games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting thrashed by the Pacers in a 133-116 loss on Monday. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard led the team with 26 points each, Norman Powell added 22 points off the bench while Russell Westbrook chipped in with 14 points and seven assists in 18 minutes off the bench. As a team, the Clippers shot 54 percent from the field and six of 20 from the 3-point line, but they struggled against the tempo of the Pacers and leaked 68 points in the second half to trail by as many as 23 points.
Philadelphia 76ers
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have been in a rut as they've lost eight of their last 12 games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back here after getting routed by the Kings in a 108-96 road loss on Monday. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 29 points on 10 of 16 shooting, Tobias Harris added 12 points while DJ Wilson chipped in with 10 points off the bench. As a team, the 76ers shot just 41 percent from the field and 11 of 34 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace with the Kings from the start, falling behind by 12 points going into halftime and things only got uglier in the second half where they fell behind by as many as 22 points before they made a late run to keep the final scores respectable. The 76ers will meet the Cavaliers after this one.

Clippers vs 76ers prediction
The Clippers are still missing Jordan miller and Moussa Diabete, while the 76ers are still missing Joel Embiid and they have Kelly Oubre Jr listed as questionable. The Clippers are mired in their worst slump of the season and they just got dismantled by the Pacers in an ugly loss on Monday, while the 76ers have continued to struggle with players like Maxey and Harris unable to make up for the absence of Embiid. You couldn't back either side with much confidence these days, but the Clippers are getting healthy again with Westbrook returning to the court and I think they will start to turn things around with a much-needed win and cover here.
