Being in different conferences, the Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers do not face each other often. When the two do get the opportunity to meet, however, the Cavs have had the edge.
- The Cavs are 5-1 ATS in their last six games versus the Pacific Division.
- The Clippers are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games.
- OVER is 4-0 in Cleveland’s previous four games overall.
The Cavs have won three-straight meetings both SU and ATS heading into Sunday’s contest at Staples Center. Going back even further, the Cavs have covered the spread in nine of the previous 11 games versus Clippers. The last time the two met, the Cavs’ starting five all scored in double digits en route to a 115-102 win on their home floor as 6.5-point favorites.
LeBron James and Co. are in the middle of a Western Conference road trip and they have already gone 2-0 SU and ATS with wins over the Sacramento Kings (120-111) and Los Angeles Lakers (120-108). They wrap up the four-game trip with a visit to the Utah Jazz Monday.
The Clippers have sputtered somewhat recently, going 2-2 SU and just 1-3 ATS. They have failed to cover the number in back-to-back games entering Sunday’s meeting with Cleveland, but have not lost three in a row ATS since a three-game slip from November 19 to 22. They have struggled mightily against the Eastern Conference lately, however, as they’ve gone 0-5 ATS (3-2 SU) in their last five attempts.
