The Cleveland Cavaliers have certainly had the Los Angeles Clippers’ number, as the Cavs have won 16 of the past 20 meetings between the two franchises. However, the Clippers rolled past the Cavaliers in their one meeting this season, winning 113-94 behind JJ Redick’s 23-point performance.
- The total has gone UNDER in 6 of the past 8 between the Cavaliers and Clippers.
- The Clippers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games at home.
- The Cavaliers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after a win.
Reinforcements are starting to arrive for the Cavs, as Kevin Love made his return to the lineup Thursday after missing 13 games. Love played limited minutes, as he was only on the floor for 20 minutes, but he did tally 10 points and nine rebounds. However, that same game saw Iman Shumpert leaving with a shoulder sprain and Kyrie Irving dealing with soreness in his knee.
The Clippers find themselves mired in a three-game slump with their defense being a big reason why. LA has given up an average of 113.7 points in the past three while allowing opponents to shoot 50.2 percent from the floor and 51.6 from beyond the arc. Chris Paul is leaning towards a scorer lately, which isn’t a bad thing, as the point guard is averaging 19 ppg in the month of March including topping 30-points twice.
