The Cavs had their 16 game win streak snapped on Monday (Aus time) in a 5 point loss to the Magic. Cleveland have not lost two in a row in over a month and come into this matchup boasting the league’s best offensive efficiency and 3pt%.

LA have been on a run as well winning 6 of their last 7 matchups, their opponents have been somewhat inferior but a 10 pt win over the Knicks is no easy task. They are strong defensively ranking 4th in opposition points but have been sluggish on the offensive end pulling in at 18th in offensive efficiency.

The most exciting matchup and what will likely determine the game is Jarrett Allen vs Ivica Zubac. Allen put up 20 pts and 12 reb in the loss to Orlando while Zubac posted 17-14-8 with 2 blocks in the blowout win over the Hornets.

Cleveland are undefeated in their last 11 games on the road and have won 4 of the last 6 against the Clippers. I am taking them to bounce back from their recent loss and take one on the road here while covering the short line as favourites.

Cavs lead the league in offensive efficiency at 122.3 pts per 100 possessions.
Cleveland have won 11 straight games on the road and have lost 2 in a row only 3 times this whole season.
The Clippers are 26th in Field Goal Attempts and 21st in Points per Game.
Jarrett Allen averages 13pts and 10 reb against the Clippers on his career, the same as his average this season.

Head to Head

2023-24 Season Series:

The teams took 1 win each last season on their home floor.

Cleveland Cavaliers Form

Cleveland’s 16-game win streak came to an end on Sunday in a loss to Orlando, where they shot just 41.7% from the field and 10-40 from three.

Despite the loss, they remain atop the Eastern Conference, 7.5 games ahead of Boston, and still have the best record in the league.

Donovan Mitchell (23 points vs. Orlando) has returned from injury, and Jarrett Allen continues to dominate inside (20 points, 12 rebounds last game).

Cleveland Cavaliers Team News

Evan Mobley is listed as day to day but will likely miss this game.

Los Angeles Clippers Form

The Clippers have won six of their last seven games, and are also 6-0 in their last six home games. They cruised past Charlotte 123-88 in their most recent outing, with James Harden leading the way with 31 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. Kawhi Leonard had 23 points against the Hornets and has found his rhythm.

The team has also welcomed the return of Norman Powell giving them additional scoring depth. However, the Clippers still sit eighth in the Western Conference, meaning every win is crucial for their playoff positioning.

They’ve been solid at home, but Cleveland presents a much tougher challenge than their recent opponents.

Los Angeles Clippers Team News

Jordan Miller is out with a hip injury.
