The Los Angeles Clippers have been in great form as they’ve won 10 of their last 12 games overall, and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after blowing past the Nets in a 132-100 road win on Friday. Kawhi Leonard led the team with 31 points, six rebounds, four steals and two blocks, Ivica Zubac added 21 points with 12 rebounds while James Harden chipped in with 17 points and six assists.

Before they exploded for another 37 points in the third quarter to lead by as many as 41 points at one stage.Â
Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers were starting to get hot again as they were riding a three-game win streak before they got stopped in their tracks by the Pistons in a 133-122 road defeat on Friday. Donovan Mitchell tried his best as he led the team with 38 points on 12 of 24 shooting, Darius Garland added 21 points with six assists while De’Andre Hunter chipped in with 11 points. As a team, the Cavaliers shot 46 percent from the field and 15 of 40 from the 3-point line as they struggled to get going and trailed going into halftime.

Evan Mobley had a rough game as he shot just three of 10 for his nine points, while Isaac Okoro scored just seven points.Â

LA Clippers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Clippers are still shorthanded with Jordan Miller and Kawhi Leonard both ruled out, while the Cavaliers have ruled out Ty Jerome for this one. The Cavaliers expectedly open as favorites at home where they are 31-5 on the season, but the last time these two teams met, it was the Clippers who romped to a 132-119 win back on Mar. 18. The loss of Leonard might be tough to overcome for the Clippers, but I could easily see the Cavaliers resting some players this late in the regular season. I see why the Cavaliers are favorites, but I actually think the Clippers can surprise them again and at least get the cover in this spot.
