TOTAL POINTS (INCL OVERTIME) - UNDER 237.5
The Cleveland Cavaliers just got their amazing 16-game-long winning streak snapped by the Orlando Magic. The Cavs are in Los Angeles to face the LA Clippers at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood. The Los Angeles Clippers are on a roll with three straight wins in the National Basketball Association.
The Los Angeles Clippers have won six out of their last seven games and three straight. The Clippers have beaten The Charlotte Hornets (123-88, at home), The Atlanta Hawks (121-98, away), and the Miami Heat (119-104, away). When The Clippers faced the Charlotte Hornets, James Harden had 31 points, seven dimes, and ten rebounds. Norman Powell was back in the lineup versus Charlotte after missing more than ten games for the Clippers. His offensive production will be crucial to the Clippers to finish off the regular season.
The Croatian big man, Ivica Zubac, added 17 points, 14 rebounds, and seven assists. The once-upon-a-time LA Laker is playing his 9th season in the NBA. Kawhi Leonard had 23 points, six rebounds, and five dimes. Harden was a plus 36 and Zubac plus 29. Ben Simmons (Brooklyn Nets) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (Atlanta Hawks) joined the LA Clippers on trade deadline day, and these two have made the Clippers bench much better. Derrick Jones Jr. is an excellent role player for the Clippers. Jones was crucial last season in The Dallas Mavericks finals run. Clippers head coach, Tyrone Lue (former Champion Cavs coach), is very happy with the new depth of his bench.
The Warriors, The Wolves, and the Clippers are primarily fighting for the very attractive 6th spot in the Western standings. That is the last playoff spot, which means you will avoid the well-feared play-in. As of right now, the Warriors have 29 losses. The Timberwolves 30, just as the LA Clippers do. The LA Clippers have a very good defense, and that could turn out to be a key factor at the end of the season. The Los Angeles Clippers have won 38 and lost 30 games so far this regular season. The Clippers and The Cleveland Cavaliers will face each other for the first time this season. They will play again at the end of this month in Cleveland.
The Cleveland Cavaliers just set a new franchise record for the longest winning streak in the history of the Cavaliers. The Cavs won 16 straight games, but all good things have to come to an end, unfortunately. Cleveland just lost at home to the Orlando Magic, 103-108. Cleveland’s first loss in the NBA since February 4th. Donovan Mitchell had a bad shooting night. Mitchell only made nine out of his 28 shot attempts and scored 23 points. Donovan had five rebounds and six dimes. Jarred Allen had 12 rebounds and 20 points. The Cavs pretty much lost the game in clutch time, which has been an unusual feat for them this season.
The Cleveland Cavaliers own the best record in the entire NBA. The Cavs have won 56 and lost 11 games so far. The Cavs have won 19 out of their last 21 games. The front office made a serious win-now move when they acquired the sought-after small forward, DeAndre Hunter, from the Atlanta Hawks. Hunter is making an already good team even better with his defensive skill set.
The Cavs had 14 turnovers versus the Orlando Magic and will take better care of the ball tonight at the Intuit Dome. The Cavaliers have a bunch of good and solid role players like Dean Wade, Max Strus, and Sam Merrill. There are no injuries for the Clippers, while Evan Mobley is questionable for the Cleveland Cavaliers. The game against the Clippers is the first in a five-game-long road trip in the West.
