Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers have really struggled to get going this season as they’ve lost five of their first six games overall and they will be hoping to snap a three-game slide after falling just short to the Suns in a heartbreaking 118-116 road loss on Monday. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 32 points on 12 of 22 shooting, Guerschon Yabusele added 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists off the bench while Paul George chipped in with 15 points, five rebounds and four assists. As a team, the 76ers shot 46 percent from the field and 20 of 51 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Suns and looked to be in control when they led by nine points in the fourth quarter. However, the 76ers struggled to put the Suns away and went cold when it mattered most, scoring just three points in the final 4:03 to allow the Suns off the hook.

Los Angeles Clippers

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers will be eager to build some momentum after they put a halt to a three-game slide with a 113-104 win over the Spurs on Monday. Norman Powell led the team with 23 points on seven of 15 shooting, Amir Coffey added 21 points on eight of 10 shooting off the bench while James Harden and Ivica Zubac each scored 17 points. As a team, the Clippers shot 45 percent from the field and a sizzling 19 of 37 from the 3-point line as they got off to a terrible start and scored just 14 points in the first quarter to fall into an early 26-point deficit, before they dominated the rest of the game to make it look easy in the end.

LA Clippers vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction

The 76ers are still missing Joel Embiid for this one, while the Clippers will again be without Kawhi Leonard and Mo Bamba. The 76ers have been one of the coldest teams this season as they’ve struggled without their star big man and their confidence took another shot to the guts with a two-point loss to the Suns in their last game, while the Clippers will be brimming with confidence after erasing a 26-point deficit to beat the Spurs in their last game. You couldn’t back either side with too much confidence, but the edge goes to the Clippers who should get the job done at the short line.
