NBA Odds: Clippers-Magic prediction, odds and pick

The Los Angeles Clippers (14-11) take on the Orlando Magic (5-20) at 7:10 pm ET. Los Los has lost two of their last three games but is still in sixth place in the Western Conference. Orlando has won nine consecutive games and is last in Eastern Conference, but they are 10-14 against the spread and 50% of games have gone over. The Clippers won both meetings between the two last season.

Clippers are in the playoff picture despite injuries and lineup inconsistency. Paul George is a threat to go on a hot streak. Kawhi Leonard is expected to play tonight. He has played in just six games this season. He is the biggest variable in Western Conference. If he's healthy, he gives LA an incredibly high ceiling for the season and improves their chances of covering the spread. The team is 30th in scoring and 27th on the offensive efficiency. They rank fifth in points allowed and fifth on efficiency on defense.

Orlando has the worst record in the league. They have one of the best young forward duos in NBA thanks to Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. LA's strength lies in their wings. Mo Wagner could be a key player for the Magic. The team with the lowest points per game is the Clippers. The Magic have the highest points allowed. Los Angeles has one the top defensive efficiency. Orlando will be without Gary Harris, Jalen Suggs and Wendell Carter Jr.

Clippers are healthy and they should cover with ease against the worst team in the league.

Los Angeles Clippers are -7 against Magic.
