Picks and predictions
Filmogaz.com projects a final score of Clippers 124, Pacers 117. That prediction reflects recent scoring trends for both teams.
There is limited moneyline value at Clippers -375. The recommended lean is Pacers +9.5 (-114). Los Angeles has failed to cover five of its last eight games. The Clippers also missed covers in each of their last three road games.
Bet the Over 238.5 (-112). The Pacers have hit the Over in eight of their past ten games. They have produced at least 119 points in four straight contests. The Clippers have scored at least 119 in their last three games, with two of those topping 129.
Why these picks
Indiana has covered more often lately. The Pacers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games. They are 3-0 ATS at home in their last three and 4-1 ATS as double-digit underdogs recently.
Los Angeles is 39-33-1 ATS this season. Still, the recent road and favorite trends weaken the moneyline and spread plays. High scoring has been a consistent trend for both clubs.
