On January 4th, at 11:30 Beijing time, an NBA regular season clash pits two strong teams against each other. The Los Angeles Clippers will host the Boston Celtics. The Clippers, riding a six-game winning streak and aiming for seven, face an Eastern Conference leader also on a two-game winning streak. This matchup is not just a battle of winning streaks but a clash of contrasting basketball philosophies, promising suspense in every possession. The biggest question is whether the Clippers can extend their winning streak to seven games. During their recent six-game run, the Clippers have transformed from a team at the bottom of the Western Conference to one with playoff aspirations. Their small-ball lineup, without a traditional center, has showcased exceptional offensive fluidity, with their three-point shooting exceeding 43%, significantly above their season average. The Celtics, a benchmark for defensive systems in the league, allowing only 110.8 points per game (second in the league) and committing a league-low 11.4 turnovers per game, represent the ultimate test for the Clippers' offense. Match Prediction: Over 220.5
