Game: Los Angeles Clippers vs Milwaukee Bucks
Time: 8:00 PM ET
I like the Bucks in this spot, especially as home underdogs.
The Clippers will be without Norman Powell, which is a key loss for their scoring depth. On top of that, they’ve struggled to put up points on the road, where their offensive production takes a noticeable dip.
For the Bucks, Damian Lillard should be in the lineup, providing a huge offensive boost. Even if Giannis doesn’t play, Milwaukee has the depth and home-court advantage to keep this game close. Their role players tend to step up in these situations, and they’ve been strong at home all season.
I expect the Bucks to keep this one within the number, if not win outright.
My prediction: Bucks +3.5 -110
