Nothing short of a miracle would have to happen for the Bucks to make it into the play-in tournament; they are 7.5 games back from the 10th seed with just 12 games left. We have to applaud them for not giving up like a bunch of other teams in the Eastern Conference, but at the end of the day it’s another season of shortcomings for Giannis Antetokounmpo and his team. The Greek Freak will miss yet another game with a knee injury, and joining him on the sidelines will be Kevin Porter Jr. — who is also a valuable piece at the guard position. Milwaukee did win in Phoenix this past weekend in a close game, but it faces an uphill battle against a Clippers team on Monday.

LA comes into this one following a big win in Dallas after OT. Darius Garland shot the lights out with 8 threes made and a season-high 41 points, but I’m curious to see how he feels after that game given his lingering big toe injury that has limited him in so many games this season. Kawhi Leonard and John Collins are also on the injury report, listed as questionable with ankle injuries. Bennedict Mathurin has been out for the past couple of games; he could return further down the road this week. The oddsmakers have a lot of faith in these Clippers despite them covering just once in 6 games overall and going 1-4 SU over their last 5 games.

History tells us that we should expect a tight game regardless of the injury statuses. Milwaukee has had the edge in recent meetings, winning 5 of 6 and also covering in 4 of 5. The Bucks’ 3-point shot is what has kept them in games lately. Over the past 4 outings they have knocked down 20+ threes twice and have averaged 18.5 makes per game.

Bucks vs Clippers prediction: Milwaukee +12.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
