LA Clippers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Pick

The Cleveland Cavaliers will have an advantage playing at home on Sunday when hosting the LA Clippers, as LA will be playing its second game in as many days after playing on the road Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets.

Cleveland is 10th in scoring and 14th in points allowed, while LA is 26th in scoring and 18th in points allowed. The Clippers have covered the spread in just three of their last 13 games. Cleveland will use its outside game, led by Donovan Mitchell (30.2 ppg), and its inside game, led by Evan Mobley (18.8 ppg) to keep the LA defense off balance. Cleveland gets several second-look opportunities as the Cavaliers are averaging 12.4 offensive rebounds while the Clippers are averaging just 9.9.
