LiontipsClippers vs Sacramento. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Clippers are looking way too inconsistent lately. Tyronn Lue's men are just unable to launch a winning streak. They are usually losing after two or three consecutive victories. It happened against in recent matches. Clippers were beaten by Golden State (90:105) and then suffered a heavy defeat to New Orleans (104:123).
We should note that Clippers recorded the most of their victories at home. They won 9 out of 15 matches at Staples Center. But they have only two away victories so far.
After the change of a head coach Kings' performance has improved. They managed to beat Portland (125:121) and Lakers (141:137). But Sacramento failed to retain that level of form for long. Alvin Gentry's men suffered defeats to Memphis (101:128) and Lakers (92:117).
It seemed like after the change of head coach Kings will start to play more aggressively. Gentry previously worked at New Orleans and under his management Pelicans were scoring many points, but they were also too vulnerable on defense. Kings even started to perform better on the offense, but in the most recent matches their offensive performance worsened once again.

Tip and bets
Sacramento just can't play defense. In 3 out of 4 most recent matches team allowed the opponents to score at least 121 points. We don't think that they will be able to stop Paul George and co, so we think that Clippers will score many points as well. Kings also can put up a high-scoring performance. We are expecting a high-scoring game.
Our prediction - total over 214 points
Sacramento are not looking convincing in recent matches. Kings' performance is far from perfect. We think that Gentry's men will lose this game due to a disastrous defensive performance. Clippers should be able to record a confident victory.
Our second prediction - Handicap (-5,5) points on Clippers
