Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Clippers Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds & Spreads: December 12| 2022-23 NBA Season
The Boston Celtics (21-6) are first in the Eastern Conference, 8-2 in their last ten games and are coming off a loss in their last outing against the Golden State Warriors (123-107).
Time seemed to fly back to last season's NBA Finals, where the Warriors came out victorious. They managed to beat the Celtics this time as well, even when they were not in the best of form. The Splash-Brother duo became the reason why the Eastern team lost. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson came out with 32 and 34 points, respectively. Only Jaylen Brown from the Celtics was the one who could do some damage to the Warriors with 31 points. They will now take on the Los Angeles Clippers (15-13), who are seventh in the Western Conference, and are coming off a win against the Washington Wizards (114-107).
Paul George performed smoothly that night as he scored 36 big points in the win. Kawhi Leonard looks to be taking some time, but is slowly finding his feet after a huge injury layoff.

Celtics vs.Clippers: Betting Prediction
Boston have a 4-6 record against Los Angeles in their last 10 encounters. However, the Celtics have not managed to win their last two games against the Clippers. They are the No.1 team in the league when it comes to offense, scoring 120.3 points per game whereas the home team is last in the league, scoring only 107.7.
The last four games for the Celtics have gone below the total mark. Even if the Clippers are playing at home, the Celtics are still slight favorites to win the game simply because of the way their season is going. Expect an exciting contest nevertheless.
Final Prediction: Total Under 225 (-110)
