The Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers meet Sunday in NBA action at the crypto.com Arena. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Milwaukee Bucks vs Los Angeles Clippers prediction.

Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks look to have cooled off from hteir six-game win streak as they are now hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after falling painfully short to the Lakers in a 123-122 road loss on Friday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with a triple-double of 34 points with 14 rebounds and 12 assists, Damian Lillard added 28 points with 12 assists while Pat Connaughton chipped in with 17 points on six of seven shooting off the bench. As a team, the Bucks shot 49 percent from the field and 16 of 41 from the 3-point line as they fought hard with the Lakers in a close contest and led by six points late in the fourth quarter, only to get outscored by 11-4 in the final 1:44 to allow the Lakers off the hook.

Los Angeles Clippers

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers have been in fine form as they've won four of their last five games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight win after beating the Bulls in a 112-102 win on Saturday. Paul George led the team with 22 points and nine assists, Kawhi Leonard added 19 points with nine rebounds and four assists while James Harden tallied a triple-double of 14 points with 11 rebounds and 10 assists. As a team, the Clippers shot 50 percent from the field and 12 of 35 from the 3-point line as they struggled to get going on offense and trailed by 14 points in the first half, before they sprung to life and outscored the Bulls by 66-45 to make it look easy in the end. The Clippers will meet the Timberwolves, Bulls, and Pelicans after this one.

Matchup/League Facts

Milwaukee Bucks vs Los Angeles Clippers prediction

The Bucks are still shorthanded with Khris Middleton still out, while the Clippers are of course still without Russell Westbrook. The Bucks will be disappointed with their last loss to the Lakers on Friday, but they were on a great streak and will like their chances against a Clippers missing Westbrook once again. The Bucks beat the Clippers by 113-106 win last week and I expect that we're going to see a similar result here with the Bucks covering at the short line.
