Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 23. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Los Angeles Clippers

The previous game against Chicago, the team played in a back-to-back format, and perhaps that moment was a factor in the failure. The California team failed to reach the 100-point mark and suffered a double-digit defeat with a 99:112 score difference.

But before the meeting with the Bulls, the Clippers had a great series - four wins in a row. Including, at this stage LAC got the biggest victory in their own history, beating Brooklyn at home with a difference of 59 points - 126:67. In addition, at home, the Clippers took the battle for Los Angeles from the Lakers (116:102); beat Miami (109:98), and on the road coped with Portland (118:89).

In total, the Clippers currently have a 24-18 record. The California team is going in the playoff zone, sitting in fifth place in the Western Conference.

Boston Celtics

The Celtics previous meeting was held on the road against the Golden State, who went on the court without Draymond Green, but were able to count on Steph Curry. Boston was not embarrassed by this, and the team brought the opponent a final difference of 40 points - 125:85. Six Celtics players scored 10 or more points, and Jayson Tatum was the most productive, shooting 22 points.

At the same time, Boston is not having a very good stretch right now - four losses in the last eight games. However, this does not prevent the Celtics from feeling comfortable in the standings. The Boston Celtics are second in the Eastern Conference with a 30-13 win total.

H2H Meetings

The score in the season series is 1:0 in favor of Boston. In the previous two championships, the rivals ended the series with a tie - 1:1.

Expert Betting Tips

The Clippers have already reached the third place in the ranking of the defense, conceding only 106.6 points per game on average. We believe that Tyronn Lue's team will be able to show their best against Boston. The Celtics have been unstable lately, alternating wins and losses, and may well show unimpressive basketball again in a meeting with the LAC, which has recently gained momentum. Here we bet on Los Angeles and the total under points scored.

In addition, statistically we will take the total under fouls of the Clippers. This bet went in 9 out of 11 previous games of Californians and in 8 out of 12 last matches of Boston.
