NBA | Dec 11
Los Angeles Clippers vs. Chicago Bulls Los Angeles Clippers
-3-110 > 5h.
It's tough for me to lay points on the road in the NBA but here is a good situation as the Clippers are hot with six straight wins overall and three straight by double digits. You have to like the fact that they took care of the Bulls once already this year too, winning by 21 in LA. I'll give the edge to the Clippers tonight for a small play.
Knicks/ Nets Over 193.5: The Nets have had a good start to their year, but lately their defense has really let them down as they have allowed 106.3 ppg in their last 4 games. The Nets also allow 46.4% shooting overall (26th) and 47.7% shooting at home. Not good when your about to face a Knicks squad that has averaged a solid 102.8 ppg on the year, Including 101 ppg on the road. The Knicks have also been deadly from long range this year, ranking 3rd in that department, hitting 40.5% of their 3-balls. The Knicks average making 11.7 threes a game on the road, while Nets give up 6 threes a game at home. Offensively the Nets have been good this year, averaging 96.1 ppg overall and 98.4 ppg at home. While not a great 3 ;point shooting team they do average 8 threes made per game at home. and the Knicks give up 7.9 threes on the road. We should get plenty of points from distance in this one. The Knicks are 2nd in defensive FG% (45.1%) and they allow 97.8 ppg on the road, so look for the Nets to score some on them. I look for this one to finish at 198 or above.
LA Lakers -6 over CLEVELAND: The Lakers have not been playing all that good this year, but make no mistake this team has talent on and it will be a force in the 2nd half of the year. Tonight I expect them to have a big game vs a weak opponent. A Big problem for the Lakers this year has been their defense, but that shouldn't be a problem tonight vs a Cleveland team that averages just 93 ppg at home and they coming in putting up just 86.8 ppg (Regulation Only) in their last 8 games. No way this team will put up enough points vs a Lakers team that averages 102.2 ppg on the road to keep this one close. Cleveland has been outscored by 9.2 ppg in their last 5 games and I expect a Lakers win by no less than that here.
