Clippers vs Bucks NBA Preview
The Bucks will play an afternoon game at home for the second consecutive day today — after getting trampled by the Spurs by a score of 127-95 in yesterday's contest.
Giannis Antetokounmpo did not play in yesterday's loss to the Spurs, and he will remain sidelined again today.
Myles Turner and Gary Trent Jr. led the way for the Bucks in yesterday's contest, scoring 15 and 18 points respectively — but clearly, they need far more firepower than that in order to compete with elite teams like San Antonio.
The Bucks were 18.5-point underdogs against the Spurs yesterday, and they failed to cover that number, losing by a margin of 32 points.
Meanwhile, the Clippers will be a slightly easier task today than San Antonio was yesterday — but don't sleep on this Clippers team.
The Clippers are playing hard right now as they continue to battle for playoff positioning, currently positioned 8th in the Western Conference standings — and they enter today's contest coming off wins in four straight games.
Clippers vs Bucks Predictions, Betting Analysis
Action PRO is projecting 4.2 rebounds for Derrick Jones in the Clippers' matchup against the Bucks today, presenting a solid 10.7% edge against his current prop line of over/under 3.5, which is strong enough to tag the Over with a B grade in our system.
Jones only recorded three rebounds in 26 minutes of action last game for the Clippers. However, prior to his latest outing, he recorded 4+ rebounds in four straight games, while getting all the way up to 6+ rebounds in two of those contests.
There should be plenty of rebounds to go around on the Clippers' side in today's matchup against a Bucks squad that ranks 25th in offensive rating and 29th in points scored per game.
Pick: Derrick Jones Over 3.5 Rebounds (-105)
