Los Angeles @ Cleveland
Current Records: Los Angeles 28-24; Cleveland 30-21
What to Know
The Los Angeles Clippers might have tired legs after a game yesterday as they head on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers at 7 p.m. ET Jan. 29 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Cleveland will need to watch out since the Clippers have now posted big point totals in their last three contests.
Los Angeles was able to grind out a solid win over the Atlanta Hawks this past Saturday, winning 120-113. It was another big night for Los Angeles’ small forward Kawhi Leonard, who shot 5-for-10 from downtown and finished with 32 points and eight rebounds.
Meanwhile, Cleveland ended up a good deal behind the Oklahoma City Thunder when they played this past Friday, losing 112-100. Shooting guard Caris LeVert wasn’t much of a difference maker for Cleveland; LeVert played for 37 minutes but put up just two points on 1-for-12 shooting.
The Clippers are expected to lose this next one by 5. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.
Los Angeles’ victory brought them up to 28-24 while the Cavaliers’ defeat pulled them down to 30-21. Two defensive stats to keep an eye on: Los Angeles ranks third in the league when it comes to points allowed per game, with only 110.5 on average. But Cleveland is even better: they enter the contest with only 107.1 points allowed per game on average, which is the best in the league. We’ll see if that edge gives Cleveland a route to victory.
