1.88Tip and bets
Bookmaker experts consider the Clippers to be the clear favorite for the upcoming match. In their opinion, the Lakers won't have many chances to succeed. That's the way it is. After a successful series, Redick's team was able to improve its tournament position, but after Davis's departure and in the absence of Doncic, it will be very difficult to face a principled opponent on equal terms. Liu's wards will have to achieve a convincing victory with the noisy support of their fans.
Our prediction is that the Clippers will win with a handicap of (-6.5) points, taking into account overtime in 1.73
Betting on an individual total
The Clippers are showing decent performance this season. The average number of points scored in the last ten games is 114. In matches with the Lakers, 111. And this time, everything is going to ensure that Liu's team will be able to improve its statistics.
Our forecast is that the Clippers' individual total is more than 115.5 points, including overtime in 2.08
The bet on the player
Harden played 73 games last regular season and averaged 16.6 points per game. This season, his score is already noticeably higher — 21.6. The 35-year-old point guard has definitely not lost his basic skills. The Olympic champion of London as part of the US national team will be able to cause a lot of trouble to the opponent's defense.
Our forecast is that Harden's total points are over 22.5, including overtime in 1.87
