Boston Celtics at LA Clippers Preview & Picks

Los Angeles are tipped to cover as a betting underdog at home.

Boston are the better team, but they remain an inconsistent spread bet and this Clippers group have been covering at a consistent clip since the start of the year.

  • LA Clippers are 6-2-0 ATS in their last 8 games
  • Boston Celtics are 3-5-0 ATS in their last 8 games
  • The Under has cashed in 7 of Boston's last 9 games
  • The Under has hit in 11 of Los Angeles' last 15 games

Head To Head

  • Boston Celtics lead the all-time series 102-51
  • Boston Celtics won 126-94 when the two teams last met on November 25

Boston Celtics Form

Boston head to Los Angeles looking to build on Monday night’s victory at Golden State.

The Celtics began 2025 with back-to-back wins, but they have struggled for consistency since then, failing to string together victories.

They responded to a 105-92 loss to Oklahoma City with a 118-106 win in Denver, only to then suffer a 114-97 defeat when they hosted Sacramento.

Boston sandwiched a 110-197 loss in Toronto with home victories over New Orleans, 120-119, and Orlando, 121-94, but again failed to string together wins as they lost 119-115 to Atlanta.

The Celtics issued an immediate response to that overtime loss though, blowing out Golden State 125-85 on Monday.

LA Clippers Form

Los Angeles enter this matchup looking to rebound from a defeat to Chicago that ended a four-game win streak.

The Clippers made a slow start to 2025 as they lost three of their first four games of the year.

They found some form at home though, following up a 109-98 win over Miami with a sensational 126-67 demolition of Brooklyn.

Los Angeles then beat Portland 118-89 on the road, before returning home to take down the Los Angeles Lakers, 116-102.

The Clippers failed to make it five-in-a-row though, as they were beaten 112-99 by Chicago on Monday.

Verdict

Boston just blew out Golden State on the road, but they remain an unreliable spread bet.

The same cannot be said for the Clippers, who have covered the number a bunch of times over the past couple of weeks, so give us the hosts and the free points.
