Cavaliers vs Clippers Betting Pick
This game will be played at Crypto.com Arena at 10:30 PM ET on Monday, November 7, 2022.
Why Bet The Cavaliers:
✅ The Clippers are on the second leg of a back to back, which means their roster situation is likely to be ugly here. John Wall is set to miss this game after playing on Sunday night, while Kawhi Leonard and Luke Kennard are also listed as out. That will cause problems against a very deep Cavaliers squad.
✅ That Cavaliers squad, by the way, has won eight straight games after losing their season opener to the Raptors. They are still undefeated on American soil, which continues to get more impressive as they continue to win games.
✅ The frontcourt depth of the Cavaliers is going to be a huge issue for the Clippers. With Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley up front, the Clippers and Ivica Zubac will have trouble getting points in the paint.

Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cleveland Cavaliers struggled in the first half on Sunday afternoon against the Los Angeles Lakers. But they had a huge second half to win that game by double digits. Now the Cavaliers will look to win two straight games in Los Angeles against a Clippers team that is struggling offensively.
For the Cavaliers, the key to this game is going to be securing defensive rebounds. Second chances could help a poor Clippers offense get going, but the duo of Allen and Mobley will be there to prevent that from happening.
Los Angeles Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers could not get stops in the fourth quarter against the Utah Jazz last night. That cost them a chance to pick up a key home win on the first leg of a back to back. Now the Clippers face another tough opponent, and are still going to be without their best player.
Without Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers have to rely way too heavily on Paul George. That resulted in George firing a ton of threes in the second half against Utah, and that could be the case again here against Cleveland if he does not get sufficient scoring help.
