The Los Angeles Clippers are running out of time to make up ground in the Western Conference playoff race and get a rare home game on Tuesday when the Milwaukee Bucks visit the Staples Center. The Bucks have a poor track record on the road vs the Clippers, as Milwaukee is 1-8 SU in its past nine road games vs L.A.
Sportsbook opened the Clips as 3-point home favorites with a total of 225.5.
- The Bucks are 3-1 ATS in their last four games on the road against the Clippers.
- The Clippers are 12-4 SU in their last 16 games as home favorites.
- The Bucks are 2-8 SU in their last 10 games on the road after winning their most recent road game.
L.A. is making a brief stop at home after going 2-2 SU on a road trip, with the latest showing coming in the form of a 117-106 triumph over the East-leading Toronto Raptors. L.A. topped Milwaukee last week thanks to 25 points and 22 boards from big man DeAndre Jordan. Danilo Gallinari has sat out of the team’s past 16 games but is expected to return this week.
The Bucks currently occupy the No. 7 spot in the East and are one game behind the Washington Wizards for sixth place. Milwaukee is embarking on a crucial four-game road trip, with games against the Warriors, Lakers and Nuggets on tap after tonight. Superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo left last week’s tilt against the Clippers with an ankle injury but returned Sunday to score 25 points on 9-of-16 shooting in a win over the Spurs despite not being 100 percent.
L.A. has been failing to cover in consecutive games lately, going 0-5 ATS in its past five games when coming off an ATS win.
