The Los Angeles team featured Norman Powell and James Harden. The former scored 29 points, while the latter had 26. We also can't forget about Ivica Zubac. The Clippers center collected everything he could under the rings. He finished the match with 21 points and 20 rebounds.

1.69Tip and bets
Brooklyn has some key players back in the lineup. As a result, the Nets showed a spectacular game in the previous match. Nothing similar should be expected in the confrontation with the Clippers, but they can create some problems for the opponent. They just don’t know how to play differently. Most likely, the team from the East will rush forward and will not pay much attention to defense.
Considering the style of play of the opponents, we assume that this time the 209.5 point mark will fall.
Our prediction is total over 209.5 points for 1.76
Bet on the outcome
Somehow it is hard to believe that Brooklyn will give up this meeting without a fight. In the confrontation with Portland, the nets did not look so hopeless. They are obliged to put up some resistance to the opponent.
Betting Tip - Brooklyn with a handicap of (+16.5) points for 1.70
Bet on statistics
Harden has been focusing more on his playmaking role lately. The beard hasn't always been effective, so we doubt he'll score more than 22 points.
Prediction - James Harden: Total under 22.5 points for 1.82
