Celtics vs Clippers Prediction & Player Props: Should you trust the Celtics in Los Angeles?

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics continue their West Coast road trip to the city of Angels to take on Paul George and the Clippers in a West vs. East battle.

The Celtics are fresh off of a loss against the Warriors, where Jayson Tatum played his worst game of the season so far, shooting 6/21 from the floor and going for only 18 points.

Tatum has been playing MVP-level basketball to start the season and he will want to redeem himself agains the Clippers tonight at Crypto.com Arena.

The Clippers have been playing better recently, and Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are back tonight as the Clippers are probably the healthiest they have been all season.

The Clippers picked up a win this weekend against the Wizards in DC and come back home tonight to try to pick up back-to-back wins.

In this battle of the West vs the East in Los Angeles, which stars will shine the brightest and pick up a big win?

Prediction

I love the Celtics in this spot tonight.

I know they didn’t play very well against the Warriors but they are the best team in the NBA and they will remind everyone of that tonight.

I am trusting Tatum and Jaylen Brown to handle the Clippers and take out some anger after their last poor performance.

I don’t see this team losing back-to-back games tonight and I think they cover the spread.

Best Bet

Celtics -3.5 (-110)

Prop of the Game

Jaylen Brown o6.5 Rebs (-130)

I played this prop last game and he had 9 rebounds.

He has been rebounding so well this season, with 7+ boards in 6 straight games. This game should stay close all the way to the end, even though I do like the Celtics to cover at the end.

In his last 6 games, he has 8+ rebounds in 4 of those 6 and 10+ in 2 of those 6.

I will be laddering his rebounds as well for the value.

Bonus:

Brown 8+ (+120)

Brown 10+ (+300)
