Los Angeles Clippers vs Indiana Pacers Prediction: The Pacers are underrated

Prediction for the NBA Los Angeles Clippers vs Indiana Pacers match will occur on February 7. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Los Angeles Clippers

In their last game, Tyronn Lue's team played a home-and-home against the Lakers and, frankly, blew it. With Anthony Davis out and Luka Doncic yet to debut, the Lakers held the Clippers to less than a hundred points and ended up 25 points behind their main rivals, 97-122. Norman Powell scored 20 points for LAC, but Kawhi Leonard and James Harden had poor games. The former was 4 of 11 from the field, while the latter was 2 of 12.

This is the Clippers' second consecutive loss. The Californians lost 108-115 away to Toronto. The standings are tight for LAC. With a record of 28-22, the Clippers are still in playoff contention — sixth in the Western Conference. But the seventh team, Minnesota, is just 0.5 wins behind them.

Indiana Pacers

The Pacers are playing their third game in a row on the road. In the tournament's first game, Rick Carlisle's team managed a tough 122-121 win over Western underdogs Utah but then lost 89-112 to Portland. The meeting with the Trail Blazers ended Indiana's four-game winning streak. The Pacers have won 12 of their last 15 games.

Indiana has made great strides during the championship and is now firmly in the playoff hunt. With a 28-21 record, the Pacers are fourth in the Eastern Conference and 4.0 wins clear of the seventh seed.

H2H Stats

The rivals have yet to meet in this season's championship, with the two previous seasons ending 1-1.

Expert Betting Tips

Indiana will be playing on the road for the third consecutive game, but that is unlikely to make the team, which has won 12 of its last 15 games, the underdogs in Los Angeles. The Pacers are underrated here, and we are backing them. We also like a lower total, as the Clippers are among the best in defensive efficiency rating. Indiana's defense is noticeably better in the current championship than in the previous one.
