Philadelphia ended a run of defeats with a comfortable victory over the Brooklyn Nets yesterday. The franchise spent a lot of money to bring in Paul George, who has underperformed, failing to click with Joel Embiid. George is out of the game, and Joel Embiid, who has been suffering problems in his left knee, has also been reported out for the game. If the rumors are correct, Embiid, who competed at the Olympics last summer, may undergo season-ending surgery. The 76ers are 15th in the Eastern Conference and defeated the Nets 119-98 in the NBA Cup game to end a run of five straight losses.

The Clippers, who have won the last four games of this tie, visit Wells Fargo Center riding a four-game streak. In their last four, the Clippers beat Sacramento by 16, Orlando by 10, Golden State by 3, and Utah Jazz by 11. Despite results like these, the Clipper's excellent season has hinged on its defense, ranked number 4 in the League. The Clippers expect to dominate both ends of the court, and their in-form defense will likely find a way to contain a meek 76ers offense.

The LA Clippers are 1.80 favorites on Betway, with the Philadelphia 76ers as 1.98 underdogs. 1xBet prices over 207 at 1.714, with the under priced at 2.1 odds. James Harden scoring over 24.5 points is 1.86 odds on Bet365, which lists Tyrese Maxey at 1.83 to score over 21.5 points. Read more here.
