Los Angeles Clippers vs Boston Celtics Preview

The Clippers have done well

The Clippers come into this game after a 13-point loss against the Chicago Bulls despite a 27-point performance by Norman Powell. It broke a four-game winning streak but the loss was an exception as they were playing back-to-back. The Clippers have been stellar at home, winning 15 out of 22 games. James Harden and Norman Powell have given the much-needed offensive boost in the absence of Kawhi Leonard whereas Ivica Zubac has done a wonderful job in the middle. The team plays brilliant defense, conceding just 106.6 points a game(3rd best).

The Celtics are not in championship mode yet

The Celtics enter the contest after ripping apart the Golden State Warriors by 40 points as Jayson Tatum put up 22 points. The Celts have won half of their last eight games and they haven’t been in a similar groove as last season. For instance, they haven’t won more than three games in a row since late November. The Celts have fired almost 50 triples per game, converting almost 18 a game, however, the record-breaking approach has also backfired at times. The decline in bench play apart from Payton Pritchard has also affected the team but there is plenty of time to get back into the winning groove.

Los Angeles Clippers vs Boston Celtics– Final Prediction and Additional Information

This is set to be a spicy contest as the Clippers are terrific at home while the Celtics know how to rock the boat away from home. The Clippers’ defense has been marginally better while the Celtics’ offense has had some issues, so Harden and Co. might have a slight edge here. However, the defending champs know how to flip the script and may do so here too. The total can be under 225 but above 215 points.

Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
