Philadelphia 76ers vs Los Angeles Clippers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/02/26

After a season in which they were never over the .500 mark, this year the 76ers have completely flipped the script and have never been under the .500 mark. Joel Embiid is finally playing consistently, putting up all-star type numbers. The only hiccup we have seen from the Sixers is the suspension of Paul George, who will be out for the next 25 games due to breaking the NBA’s anti-drug policy. That means he will miss Monday’s game against his old team, the Clippers, as Philly tries to sweep the regular-season series. It has been a very favorable matchup for the Sixers from a bettors’ perspective, as they have covered in 14 of the last 20 meetings. They are also 5-2 ATS in 7 road games overall.

The Clippers are showing no signs of slowing down after winning their 10th game in 12 outings. They now occupy the ninth seed in the West — and with the way they have been playing over the past month or so, even the sixth seed isn’t out of the question. Despite not having James Harden at their disposal, they beat the Phoenix Suns relatively easily on Sunday night 117-93 on the road. That means Monday’s game will be the second night of a back-to-back situation, and in this scenario Los Angeles has just 1 win in 7 games so far. Whether or not Harden plays remains to be seen; if he does, that completely changes things in favor of the Clippers.

Monday’s game will be the first of a 5-game West Coast trip for the 76ers, which will tell us a lot about this team. You always want to get off to a solid start to trips like these, especially against an elite defense like the one the Clippers have. Guarding Embiid has been a tough task for L.A., the big fella is averaging 34.4 points and 12.6 rebounds in the last 10 meetings. If he is on top of his game, the Sixers will be tough to beat. I’ll give Philly the benefit of the doubt and back it to start off the road trip with a big win.
