Expert picks & predictions for Sunday’s Clippers vs. Pacers game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans towards the Clippers to cover the -3.5 spread at Indiana:
“Los Angeles is coming off a loss at Milwaukee where they led going into the fourth quarter but weren’t able to hang on. I believe that will be a motivator here, as to game-planning what went wrong in the first meeting which came a little over two weeks ago.
The Clippers got out to a 42-22 first-quarter lead against the Pacers in the first meeting but were out-scored 35-24 in the fourth quarter and lost 119-112. A lot of the issues came from Pascal Siakm’s 33 points and the situation for L.A., who was coming off two straight home losses.
I like the Clippers’ situation and motivation more, so give me the Clippers +3.5.”
