LOSS
76ers vs. Clippers
Clippers -2.5
ANALYSIS
We are backing the Clippers to cover at the Intuit Dome, where they have won five straight and boast a 10-1 record in their last 11 home games. Los Angeles is currently on a dominant 17-4 tear led by Kawhi Leonard—who has scored 20+ points in 27 consecutive games—while Philadelphia must navigate the start of a road trip without Paul George, who just began a 25-game league suspension. Even with Joel Embiid probable, the 76ers face a significant situational disadvantage against a red-hot Clippers squad that just out-rebounded Phoenix by 28 in a blowout win yesterday.
OUTCOME
76ers 128 - Clippers 113
Grimes finished with 8 points. The offensive focus remained on Harden and Leonard, leaving Grimes as a spacing decoy who rarely saw touches in the flow of the offense.
