LiontipsClippers vs Brooklyn. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Los Angeles team is falling apart now and there is explanation for it. Kawhi Leonard's injury was a huge blow for the team, and now team has lost Paul George. So far team is at the 5th spot of the Western Conference and it is a good result.
In the most recent match Clippers hosted the table neighbours, Denver. Hosts started the match with an aggressive manner, but made a number of mistakes during the game, so opponent took the lead by a few points. After a third quarter team had a chance to change the situation, but Tyronn Lue's men failed the ending of the game (100:103).
Clippers will stay at home arena, where they will host Brooklyn, it will be a very difficult match for the hosts. Opponent won't be able to play with a strongest squad, so Clippers will have a chance to put up a fight.
Nets are still at the lead of the Eastern Conference. Chicago is the only team that is able to catch up to the Nets, all other opponents are pretty far from Steve Nash's lads.
James Harden is the only leader of Brooklyn, who is still available to play, because Kevin Durant is down with an ankle injury, but despite his absence, team put up a classy performance in the previous match. Team from New York defeated the Lakers (122:116). LeBron James and co tried to change the situation, but to no avail.
Nets are planning to bring Kyrie Irving back to the line-up. He was suspended from training with the club due to his rejection to get vaccinated. Basketball experts are saying that Nets don't need a star point guard, because they are already at the top spot in the Conference.

Tip and bets
Clippers are playing without their leaders, so team is unable to regain consistency. In five most recent matches they recorded only one victory. If things will go on like this, Clippers will drop out of the play-off zone.
Brooklyn are ready to record a victory over another Los Angeles team. Nets are playing offensively in the current season and it is a pretty successful strategy for them, but now team is playing without Kevin Durant, who is injured. In our opinion, visitors will record a victory in this game.
Our prediction - Brooklyn Nets to win (Including OT)
Clippers are not looking good in recent matches, both defensively and offensively. Nets are trying to retain their current level of form, but James Harden can't carry the team on his shoulders forever. In this case we offer to place a bet on total under.
Our second bet is on total under 223,5 points
