Milwaukee Bucks vs LA Clippers Prediction
You can make a strong case for the Milwaukee Bucks and the points as they're healthy, won five straight, and have won eight of their last 10 games. This is the best the Bucks have looked all season. However, the Bucks are 8-10 SU on the road this season. Also, the Clippers are healthy with the return of Kawhi, and they're 16-8 SU at home. The Bucks have some showing and proving to do on the road, while the Clippers are thriving in their new arena. It's also a chance for the Clippers to stick it to Doc Rivers, who failed to get that franchise over the hump. I'll lay the bucket with the Clippers at home.
