X-Factor


Montrezl Harrell has been an offensive catalyst off the bench all season long and he played well against the Timberwolves, scoring 18 points with five rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes and he had 26 points and nine rebounds in 32 minutes in the first meeting against the Bucks.

Harrell is averaging 18.6 points and 6.7 rebounds in 26.5 minutes over his last 10 games and he’s a big part of his team’s success.

Clippers vs. Bucks Trends and Prediction

The Los Angeles Clippers are:

  • 6-1 ATS in their last seven games playing with one day of rest
  • 7-2 ATS in their last nine games following an ATS win
  • 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win
  • 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game
  • 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games overall

The Milwaukee Bucks are:

  • 2-5 ATS in their last seven games against Pacific Division opponents
  • 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings

These two teams met on November 10 and the Clippers won 128-126 in overtime. Each team had 17 turnovers and the Bucks were just 16 of 23 from the free-throw line (69.6 percent).

This game can come down to free-throw shooting and taking care of the ball. The Clippers have to control the pace but I really like them to put up a fight tonight, they’re playing their best basketball of the season and they have a healthier roster than the Bucks.

Pick: Clippers +9.5
