Milwaukee Bucks vs Los Angeles Clippers Prediction

The Bucks have been very good again this season despite a struggle to stay healthy. Jrue Holiday has been out of the lineup for a large part of the season, and they have also missed their starting center in Brook Lopez.

The play of Bobby Portis has really helped this team stay afloat and continue to be one of the best teams in the eastern conference. The Bucks will have all their starters except Lopez for this game tonight. The Clippers have had a tough season staying healthy as well. Kawhi Leonard, their best player, has been out all season long, and their second-best player Paul George, has been inactive for the last month dealing with an injury. They have also been missing some of their role players throughout the season.

The Clippers did make a trade on Friday, adding Norman Powell and Robert Covington to their roster. The move has some wondering how soon their stars will be back and if they can make a playoff push. 

I will be backing the Bucks tonight on this short -3 line. I typically would take the other side in a game with a line this weird, but I simply can’t pass up this number. This Clippers team has struggled to score the basketball since the injury of George, and this is a Bucks team that has too much talent across the board.

This Bucks lineup is getting more healthy, and tonight will have four of their five regular starters in the lineup. The Clippers lineup does not scare me enough in this spot, even with their additions of Powell and Covington. I think this is a great fade spot for the Clippers today at home and a perfect spot to back the Bucks. Look for a massive game for Giannis against this clippers defense and for the Bucks to run away with this thing. Let’s close a great week of free NBA bets!
