Trail Blazers Visit Clippers in Los Angeles before All-Star Break

Clippers enjoying strong season at home

Los Angeles is 22-4 in front of their fans, which is why almost any home game should be a win for the Clippers this season. An excellent way to enter the All-Star break will be to grab their 23rd win at home against a team they are chasing in the Western Conference standings. They trail Portland by just one game and can pull into a tie with the Trail Blazers with a win tonight at home.

Up-and-down stretch for the Trail Blazers

In their past 10 games played, Portland has a 5-5 record, and comes into this game following a loss to the Thunder by just three points. In the same span, Portland has lost three of their last five games played, with one of those losses coming at the hands of the Indiana Pacers. So, just to double-check, the Trail Blazers have lost two games of late to the top two teams in the NBA. 

Over at the online sportsbook at TopBet.eu, the Clippers are home chalk at -9.5 (-110) when the Trail Blazers come to town for a battle of elite Western Conference teams. We will absolutely lay the line with 20 percent of our bankroll as Los Angeles takes down Portland to climb into a tie in the conference standings. With the All-Star break around the corner, a win heading into the break would be welcome for both teams.
