Los Angeles Clippers Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Clippers have been in a real funk as they’ve lost five of their last eight games overall. The Clippers will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting smashed by the Pacers in a 129-111 road defeat last night. James Harden led the team with 31 points, seven rebounds, and 11 assists, Ivica Zubac added 22 points on eight of 11 shooting while Amir Coffey chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Clippers shot 44 percent from the field and 10 of 40 from the 3-point line. The Clippers struggled to contain the Pacers from the start and allowed 101 points before the start of the fourth quarter to trail by as many as 22 points in a game where they never held the lead.Â
Detroit Pistons Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons have been on a tear as they’ve won eight of their last 10 games overall, and they will be aiming for a seventh straight victory after outlasting the Hawks in a 148-143 road win last night. Cade Cunningham led the team with 38 points, seven rebounds and 12 assists on 14 of 24 shooting, Malik Beasley added 24 points off the bench while Tim Hardaway Jr drained six 3-pointers to finish with 18 points. As a team, the Pistons shot a sizzling 59 percent from the field and 20 of 40 from the 3-point line as they hit the ground running and poured in 76 points in the first half to take the early lead. The Pistons really didn’t have the game under control until they closed the final 33 seconds on a 9-3 run to escape with the narrow win.Â

LA Clippers vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
The Clippers are still shorthanded with Norman Powell, Kawhi Leonard and Ben Simmons all ruled out again, while the Pistons are still missing Jaden Ivey and Simone Fontecchio. The Clippers haven’t been able to go on any sustained run with all the injuries they are constantly dealing with, but they still have more than enough firepower to hang with most teams. Still, the Pistons come into this meeting as one of the form teams in the league, they just took down the Hawks in a thrilling win last night. I think they represent great value as the home underdogs in this spot.
