Clippers vs Kings prediction
Big game for both the Clippers and Kings. The Clippers are looking to lock up a top-4 seed in the West, while the Kings are fighting to stay out of the play-in tournament. The difference here is the Clippers don't have a single injured player, while the Kings will be without Monk and Huerter. The Kings bench suffers without Monk, and the offense has had issues sustaining success in recent games. The Clippers have won 3 straight games, all on the road, as this veteran team is making that last push to get the best possible seed. I'll lay the bucket with the Clippers.
