Season series: First meeting; Bucks won 2-0 in 2022-23, including a 106-105 win at home with the Clippers covering as 4-point underdogs
The Clippers picked up an 89-88 win against the Milwaukee Bucks as a 2.5-point underdog on Sunday as the Under (219.5) connected.
It was a giant departure from the 140 points it posted in LA’s 140-115 win on Friday against the Washington Wizards as a 16-point favorite as the Over (239.5) cashed.
The Under is still 4-1 in the past 5 for the Clips.
LA has won 6 straight games against Eastern Conference clubs, while going 7-3 against the spread (ATS) in the past 10 vs. East. The Under is 6-3 in the past 9 tries against teams from the Eastern Conference, too.
The Bucks topped the Chicago Bulls 113-97 Friday on the road, cashing as a 3.5-point favorite.
The Under (221.5) cashed for the 5th straight outing and the total has gone low at an 8-0-1 clip in the Bucks’ previous 9 contests.
Milwaukee has won and covered 5 in a row, too.
Milwaukee is just 2-4 straight up (SU) and ATS in the past 6 tries against Western Conference teams, while the Under is 7-1-1 in the past 9 against Western clubs.
The Bucks (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return, and that’s a little too risky any time, but especially against a top-notch team like the Clippers (+168).
LA has been a little bit erratic lately, posting a .500 record across the past 10 games since Feb. 7.
However, this team still has 39 wins, among the best teams in the NBA.
