Clippers vs. 76ers Prediction
The Clippers looked especially impressive on the defensive end of the court in their win over the Hornets. On offense though, they remain one of the lowest scoring teams in the league right now.
The 76ers, meanwhile, have looked great on offense with star center Joel Embiid leading the charge with an impressive 32.5 points average per game. Their defense isn't quite at the Clippers' level but their ferocity on the other side of the court should carry them well tonight. The Philadelphia outfit will also enjoy the home-court advantage and are on a more dominant run at the moment. A competitive 76ers win seems very likely.
Prediction: 76ers -3.5 (-110)
