LiontipsClippers - Atlanta. Forecast and bets for the NBA match
Command Analysis
Current form
The Clippers have two important players in the infirmary at once - James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. Without them, it is very difficult for the team to demonstrate a good game in attack. The "sailors" matches are boring and low-scoring. It is not surprising that they first lost to San Antonio (86:122), and then to Oklahoma (98:116).
In the match against the Thunder, Amir Coffey took on the role of leader. In 35 minutes on the court, he managed to score 26 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, but this was not enough for the final success. The rest of the Clippers players performed worse, and Nicolas Batum and Kobe Brown did not score a single point at all.
Disqualifications and injuries
Out: Kawhi Leonard, Terence Mann. Questionable: James Harden.
Interesting facts for betting
The Clippers have never impressed with their scoring ability before, and without Harden they are performing very poorly. For example, in 3 of the last 4 games they have not even scored 100 points.
Probable lineup : Zubac - Powell, Dunn - Coffey, Jones.
Current form
Atlanta has looked good in recent games, but its previous opponents were very strong. The first of them was Denver, to which the Hawks lost with a score of 120:139. After that, in Los Angeles, the Hawks met the Lakers. They lost this match with a score of 102:119.
Atlanta hopes are all tied to Trae Young performance. In the last game, he was again the best player and scored 33 points. In addition, he made nine assists. However, this was not enough for the final success. The rest of the Hawks' players did not impress with their scoring. For example, Jalen Johnson had 19 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist. But Onyeka Okongwu scored 14 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists.
Disqualifications and injuries
Out: Larry Nance.
Interesting facts for betting
The Hawks have won their last two road games against the Clippers. However, they have often lost to the Sailors before that. The Clippers are 5-4 in their previous nine road games in Los Angeles.
Probable lineup : Capela - Daniels, Young - Richaser, Johnson.

1.79Tip and bets
It is important for the Los Angeles team to win, because in this case they will remain in seventh place in the Western Conference. However, it will not be so easy to do this. Everything will depend on whether James Harden appears on the court. With the "Beard" in the lineup, it will be much easier for the "sailors" and they will count on winning.
However, the Clippers have too many problems right now. In this regard, we suggest giving preference to Atlanta. The Hawks looked great in the last matches, so they have every chance not to lose by a big margin.
Our prediction is Atlanta with a handicap of (+7.5) points at 1.79
Bet on total
The Clippers have major problems with their offensive game. They are not impressive in terms of scoring and do not always score even 90 points. In this regard, we doubt that the opponents will break the 229.5 point mark. Most likely, nothing like that will happen.
Forecast - total under 229.5 points for 1.78
Bet on statistics
Atlanta hopes are all tied to Trae Young. This is a very important game for the team, and the outcome of the game depends on him. Young scored 33 points in the last game. It is quite possible that Trae will take the initiative again and show a very interesting game.
Prediction - Trae Young: Total over 29.5 points for 1.78
