Clippers' Winning Streak Faces Celtics Test: A Clash of Strengths in Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Clippers host the Boston Celtics. The Clippers aim to extend their impressive six-game winning streak. The Celtics, despite missing key players, will look to disrupt their opponent's momentum. The Clippers' recent form has been outstanding, climbing from the bottom of the Western Conference to 11th place, just two wins away from a play-in spot. During their winning streak, they've averaged only 98 points against. Leonard has been phenomenal, averaging 39 points over the last six games. Can the Los Angeles Clippers defend their home court? The Celtics will try to stop their opponent. Harden, while showing some inconsistency, remains crucial for the team's organization and playmaking. However, the team has injury concerns with Beal out for the season and Bogdan out as well. The Celtics are third in the Eastern Conference with a 20-15 record, boasting a strong defense allowing 110.6 points per game. Jaylen Brown leads the offense, averaging 29.5 points, and White provides all-around contributions. However, the absence of Tatum, who is out for the season, has a significant impact. Recommendation: Over 220 points.
