Los Angeles Clippers vs Cleveland Cavaliers 3/22/19 NBA Odds, Preview and Prediction

The Los Angeles Clippers play the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Quicken Loan Arena on Friday night.

Critics thought that the Clippers were giving up on their season when they traded leading scorer Tobias Harris but instead of folding, the Clippers have held their ground and are hanging on to the West’s 8th seed. Los Angeles has also caught fire and has gone 8-1 to start the month of March. Lou Williams is having another 20-point season coming off the bench as the Clippers look for another win on the road against the lowly Cavaliers.

Nothing was expected from Cleveland when LeBron left and Kevin Love began the season on the injured list. But the Cavs have continued to play although they’ve come short most of the time. In their last game though, the Cavs beat the league-leading Milwaukee Bucks at their home floor and they have won four in a row at home. Cleveland hopes to extend that streak against the streaking Clippers but may have to do so without Kevin Love who bumped heads with Eric Bledsoe in their last game.

Our bench outscored the Bucks 47-17 last night, led by @jordanclarksons with 23 points.

He’s scored in double figures in 63 contests this season – tied with Lou Williams for most among all @NBA reserves.#CavsBucks HIGHLIGHTS: https://t.co/WJSRfkoYP5#BeTheFight pic.twitter.com/Gnrw115GRY

Who Wins?

The LA Clippers are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games played. The Clippers are 2-1 SU in three games during that stretch. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 4-6 SU in their last 10 games played and the Cavs are 4-1 SU at home over that period. Head to head, the Cavaliers are 6-4 SU in their last 10 meetings against the Clippers.

Cleveland is another team trying to make an impression despite being long eliminated from the playoffs. The Cavs have split their last six games overall and have won four in a row at home. But at the end of the day, they are still a team which has won 19 total games this season. The Clippers are 19-17 SU on the road while the Cavs are 13-24 SU at home. There’s also a good chance that Kevin Love will be rested. I’m picking the Los Angeles Clippers to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers on 3/22/19.

The over is 4-1 in the Clippers’ last five games played. The total has gone under in the last three road games played by Los Angeles. The total has gone over in three out of the last five games played by the Cavaliers and the over is also 5-2 in Cleveland’s last five games at their home floor. Head to head, the total has gone under in seven out of the last 10 meetings between these two teams.

Both these teams have Bottom-10 defenses with Los Angeles at #23 and Cleveland at #21. On the other hand, the Clippers are the 5th highest scoring team in the league and should have no problems scoring against the Cavaliers’ porous defense Sure, the Cavs may be without Kevin Love here but the Clippers will be content to just outscoring the Cavs instead of stopping their offense.
