Predictions and bets for Nets vs. Clippers

The Nets have clinched a playoff berth and will be headed to the postseason looking to cause some surprises with their unlikely cast of heroes.

Tonight they’ll be up against an LA Clippers team who appear to be firing on all cylinders as one of the Championship favorites.

With the Clippers on the second day of a back-to-back, our model thinks some value can be found on this one.

Dimers' Suggested Plays

Best Bet: Nets win (+450*)

Spread: Nets +10.0 (+100*)

Total points: Under 230.5 points (-110*)

Lock

The Nets have gone 3-2 since the season restart, which included a big win against the league-best Bucks. It’s going to take a huge effort lightning to strike twice against the Clippers, but our model thinks they are a value bet at the moneyline.

Spread

For some safety, take the Nets +10. Doc Rivers has been notorious for resting his big stars during back-to-backs so don’t be surprised to see key players play limited minutes and for the Nets to keep the margin close if they can’t pull the ultimate surprise.

Total Points

The Nets and Clippers have played in some high scoring basketball games in the past week but our model expects the respective team’s styles won’t be conducive to free-flowing basketball. Take the under on this one.

Dimers' take-out

This game is all about value and winning big from a small outlay. We recommend taking the Nets at the moneyline and cheering home a big winner to end the weekend.
