This game will be played at crypto.com Arena at 10:30 PM ET on Friday, February 10, 2023.
Why Bet the Clippers:
✅ The Bucks are playing on the second night of a back to back here, after playing against the Lakers on Thursday night. The Bucks could very well end up resting some players during this game to avoid any injury risks on the back to back.
✅ Even without the back to back, the Bucks looked listless offensively against the Lakers. They have been way worse offensively on the road compared to their home games, and that will persist against a stout Clippers defense.
✅ From a line reading perspective, the Bucks have won nine straight games, yet are underdogs in this contest. That is very telling, as we should see the Clippers come through in this matchup.

Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks won on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Lakers, surviving a dismal first half from three-point range to pick up their ninth straight win. Now, they will play on the second straight night in the same venue, as they look to get a 10th straight win by beating another team with title aspirations in the Clippers.
The question for the Bucks coming into this game will be whether they rest any of their stars in this game. Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo have been regulars on the injury report so far this season, and could be sat out here on the second leg of a back to back. If they do sit, that would drastically impact the Bucks’ chances here.
Los Angeles Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers come into this matchup off of a loss at home to the Dallas Mavericks. That game was Kyrie Irving’s first as a member of the Mavericks, and he led Dallas to a big win on the road as an underdog in that matchup. Here, the Clippers will look to bounce back against a Bucks team that should be easier to prepare for than Dallas was after their huge trade.
For the Clippers, Kawhi Leonard is set to sit this game out, which will be a negative for them. But they do have a rest advantage coming into this contest, which could help offset the absence of one of their top-two stars.
