76ers vs Clippers NBA Preview
The Clippers posted the best record in the NBA in January, going 11-4.
Can you believe that?
They had a +3.3 net rating, which was 9th in the NBA. Philly, who was 10-7, ranked 12th at +2.3.
Both teams coming off quality months, with the 76ers riding a three-game winning streak into tonight, and the Clippers having won 10 of their last 12.
James Harden (personal) sat last night's game against the Suns, and will also be without Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) and Bradley Beal (hip).
For Philly, it's a clean injury report minus Joel Embiid (ankle), but he's probable, and Paul George (suspension).
76ers vs Clippers Predictions, Betting Analysis
VJ Edgecombe is over 12.5 points in 5-of-9 games without George, and with Embiid and Tyrese Maxey in the lineup this season.
In those games, he's averaging 15.4 points, 13.1 in the last eight without his 34-point debut.
Still, George being out gives Edgecombe the opportunity to overcome the rookie wall.
He's still logging huge minutes, at 36.6 per game over his last 25, and in 20 games since Christmas, despite shooting about 43/35/76 splits, he's at 14.1 points per game.
This is mostly a buy-low spot with George out, and Philly should put the ball in VJ's hands a bit more for the foreseeable future.
He's also expected to be trade deadline proof, which helps.
Pick: VJ Edgecombe Over 12.5 Points (-128)
