Nets at Clippers and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 112, Nets 101

Moneyline

There's no play on the ML here at this price, but PG13 has drilled 4+ 3-pointers in 8 straight games.

Take PAUL GEORGE OVER 3.5 THREES (-115).

Against the spread

The Nets beat the Lakers in this building a couple of days ago, and the Clippers are rested but could come out rusty after 5 days off. So while I'm projecting the Clippers to cover, I don't like the risk involved.

If we're going to take a risk, I want a plus-money reward. The Nets are tied for the 5th-most turnovers in the league, and PG13 has 2+ steals in 3 of the last 4 games. He had 3 steals in the earlier meeting against Brooklyn.

Take PAUL GEORGE OVER 1.5 STEALS (+135).

Over/Under

The 1st meeting went way under the 231.5 total at 193. Both teams have been playing to the Under lately with LA 5-5 O/U and Brooklyn 3-7 over the last 10. The market has adjusted with a lower total this time around, but I'm still feeling the UNDER 225.5 (-110).
