Clippers vs Magic Predictions

Clippers vs Magic is an inter-Conference tilt between two teams that have wholly differing trajectories in 2021. The Clippers are an elite at the top of the playoff race in the Western Conference. They will have home court advantage in their first round playoff series. The Magic on the other hand are one of the worst teams in both the Eastern Conference and the league. They are certainly heading for a very high lottery selection in the NBA Draft with playoff hopes being completely absent.

Clippers vs Magic has been played over five dozen times, with the split leaning narrowly to the Clippers side. The recent seasons however, have been anything but competitive. From 2014 through 2020 the Magic did not notch a single win against the Clippers. The Magic’s recent futility against the Clippers is as lopsided as it can get. Recent history screams this is an avalanche on the Clippers side. The Clippers have long been and remain a better team than the Magic. That trend is perhaps more true in the present than ever before.

Why bet the Clippers?

✅ Clippers have found their stride: After a period of ups and downs, the Clippers are coming to form. With the home stretch of the NBA season in sight, the Clippers are moving to the top of the Western Conference Standings. Their six game winning streak has seen them pass the Lakers and move neck and neck with the Suns for the two seed.

✅ The Clippers remain one of the strongest home teams in the league. They have passed the Jazz this week as the league’s most efficient home unit. The Clippers are top three in the league with a +8.2 average differential in their own arena. They have no issues winning by a sizeable margin, particularly against teams as bad as the Magic.

✅ Magic packed it in for this season: With this season lost, the Magic made deals sending Nikola Vucevic, Evan Fournier and Aaron Gordon to new homes. They are building for the future and have no cares about notching any more wins for the remainder of this season.

✅ Magic woeful on the road: The Magic were already a dreadful road team before the trades. Now that their top players are gone, it will not get any better for them. Their average differential in road games is -9.4 points per game, and are on the most anemic offensive teams in the league. Of course that is now worse lacking any star power, and it is fair to expect a lot of blow outs to close out the season.
