Tonight’s Best NBA Bet: Los Angeles Clippers -2.5

The NBA playoffs continue tonight with another three-game slate. Last night the Bucks took a commanding 3-0 series lead, while Denver and the Lakers also grabbed key wins. Tonight there are two teams in must-win mode, as going down 3-0 in the NBA is a death sentence. With only three games, there are more opportunities to dig into each series to find some value in the betting market. Sometimes that comes from player props, but today the play comes from taking a side of the game.

Best NBA Bet: Clippers -2.5 (-110), Clippers Moneyline -139

The Mavericks are up 2-0 on the Clippers, winning both games on the road and heading home tonight looking to crush the Clippers’ hopes. Vegas still has some faith in the Clippers, however, as they are 2.5-point road favorites here. If not laying the points, the moneyline is a reasonable -139 for Los Angeles.

It is just two games into the series, but so far the Mavericks have been unstoppable offensively. Luka Doncic was always going to get his, but the rest of the Mavericks have followed their leader and torched the Clipper defense. Some of that is on Los Angeles, but through two games the 3-point shooting has been at a wildly unsustainable clip. Dallas shot 47% from 3 in Game 1 hitting, 17 of 36 shots.  They followed that in Game 2 by going 18-for-34. If Dallas keeps that up, this will be a clean sweep. However, that seems unlikely. The Clippers were top 10 in defending the 3-pointer this season, and tonight they should put forth a solid defensive effort.

Offensively Los Angeles has been good enough, and Kawhi Leonard is playing at an elite level. Unlike Dallas, they struggled at times from 3, and the 11-for-40 in Game 1 was the direct link to the 10-point loss. There are a ton of variable within an NBA game, but the battle of the 3-point line will be the key in Game 3. It is all on the line for the Clippers, and they should bring this series to 2-1. Bettors can lay either the 2.5 or the -139, and it is worth having exposure to the Clippers in a few different ways tonight.
