The Los Angeles team is slowly crumbling, although there are plenty of reasons for that. First, Kawai Leonard’s injury shocked him and now Paul George is also out of the cage. So far, the team is holding on to fifth place in the Western Conference and this is still a good result. In the last meeting, the Clippers hosted their neighbor Denver, who was already breathing in their back. The hosts started very actively and aggressively, but there were a lot of defects in the game, so the rival was ahead by a couple of points. It seemed that after the third quarter a turning point would come, but in the end Tyrone Lew’s charges failed (100:103). “Sailboats” remain at the home arena, as “Brooklyn” comes to visit, which does not bode well either. The only good news is that the opponent will appear on the floor with a far from optimal composition, so you can compete.
The Grizzlies try to stay among the leaders of the West and not force events. The team is far from the top three, so it remains to leave behind the Clippers and Denver. Memphis last meeting ended in victory, as Taylor Jenkins’ charges defeated Sacramento (127:102) away. The guests simply left no chances to their opponents and Desmond Bane became one of the best on the floor, as he eventually scored 28 points. In the next confrontation, the “bears” will face a battle with “Phoenix”, which is more motivated than ever. Want more up-to-date NBA spread prediction and stay informed?
