Clippers at Celtics: Prediction, point spread, odds, over/under, betting picks

Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers visit Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.

The game tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET and can be seen on TNT.

The Celtics already have a win over the Clippers this season, as Jayson Tatum went off for 34 points in LA and led Boston to a 119-115 win – though that Clippers team was missing Paul George.

  • Point spread: Clippers -4.5

  • Over-under: 220.5

Advice and prediction

The Celtics have responded to a three-game losing streak with back-to-back wins, but they’ll face a much tougher task on Tuesday night. The Clippers, meanwhile, are coming off a 105-100 loss in Milwaukee, and have been inconsistent as we near the All-Star break.

Still, it’s hard to bet against Los Angeles in this spot. The Clippers are the healthier team and have a top-three offense. The Clippers’ adjusted net rating puts them almost exactly five points ahead of the Celtics per 100 possessions. I’m trusting the numbers and taking Clippers -4.5.

Prediction: Clippers 117, Celtics 109
