The history of personal meetings of the two teams totals to 30 matches. As we can see, the Boston Celtics have been stronger 13 times and the Los Angeles Clippers, in turn, have won 17 matches. Separately, we note that the last game ended with a score of 114:111.
Boston Celtics
Memphis continues to amaze. In the last match the Bears defeated Phoenix. The Grizzlies played that fight without Brooks, Melton, Merrill and Culver, but that didn’t stop them from winning. 33 points by Ja Morantand 32 points from Desmond Bane helped to overcome Sunshine (114:113). It was the second win for Jenkins’ wards in a row. Before that, Memphis also defeated Sacramento (127:102).
Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers also have losses. Reggie Jackson, Nicolas Batum, Isaiah Hartenstein and Paul George will not play in the upcoming meeting. In the previous match, the Sailboats played without these players and lost to Brooklyn with a score of 108:124. The best member of the Los Angeles squad is Marcus Morris, who scored 24 points. Recent setbacks have sent the Clippers into sixth place in the Western Conference. It will be very difficult to improve the situation, since the team leaders are unlikely to return to the floor in the near future. Want more up-to-date NBA spread prediction and stay informed?

Prediction
Our expert pick:
The Boston squad looks preferable. The Celtics have Brown and Pritchard. But the Clippers can count on Morris's successful actions, but he is significantly inferior in class to the Celtics players. We believe that in their native walls the "Celts" will confidently overcome the "sailboats". Our prediction is Boston's victory, taking into account the handicap (-4.5) points for the odds of 1.77 in the bookmaker's office 1xBet. The absence of key players will probably affect the teams' play. Both Boston and the Clippers have not scored too many points in recent games. It is likely that even now they will not be able to demonstrate a bright game. Second prediction is for the total under 213.5 points for 1.75. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.77.
