CLIPPERS
Game: Philadelphia 76ers vs. Los Angeles Clippers Game Time: 3/3/2008 10:35:00 PM Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers Reason: I'm taking the points with the LA CLIPPERS. Recent results have given us excellent value with the home underdog Clippers. These teams faced each other at Philadelphia a few weeks ago. The 76ers won that game convincingly and have continued to play well ever since. The Clippers, on the other hand, have struggled since the game at Philadelphia. However, a closer look shows that the schedule hasn't been very kind to them either. Since the previous meeting, the Clippers have played only three teams with losing records. They played well in those games too as they won outright at Milwaukee, lost by two vs. Washington and defeated Memphis by double-digits. The other games came against the likes of the Jazz, Lakers, Celtics, Nuggets (at Denver), and Pistons. Their recent improved play notwithstanding, the 76ers don't belong in that group and represent a step down in class from LA's recent opponents. Note that the Clippers had recently been playing without center Kris Kaman but got him back for their last game. While he was "rusty" vs. the Pistons, the Clippers' leading rebounder is a huge part of the team and his return is significant. He should be much better with a game under his belt. Despite failing to cover at Detroit, the Clippers remain a profitable 19-13-1 ATS the last 33 times they were coming off three or more consecutive losses, 8-6 ATS in that role this season. Meanwhile, the 76ers, who come off an "offensive explosion" at Phoenix, are just 2-5 ATS (1-6 SU) after scoring 105 or more points in their previous game. The 76ers are 0-4 their last four trips here and 2-11 their last 13. I expect their struggles here to continue and for them to fall to 1-7 ATS the last eight times that they were road favorites of three points or less. *Non-Conference GOW
