Why the Clippers can cover
Los Angeles enters this matchup with momentum after rattling off a four-game winning streak and getting Kawhi Leonard back. He scored 19 points in a 116-102 win over the Lakers in his fifth game of the season after missing the first three months with knee soreness. Leonard will sit out on Monday, but his presence has certainly been felt by the organization.
Norman Powell has stepped up as the team’s leading scorer with Leonard sidelined for most of the season, averaging 23.6 points per game this season. Ivica Zubac added 21 points and 19 rebounds in the win over the Lakers, marking his fourth game with at least 20 points and 18 rebounds. The Clippers have covered the spread in six straight home games, while the Bulls have failed to cover in five consecutive games. See which team to pick here.
Why the Bulls can cover
Chicago is coming off its fifth straight loss, but star guard Zach LaVine had another impressive outing. He finished with 27 points in a 113-102 loss to the Trail Blazers, while Nikola Vucevic had 17 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. Josh Giddey did not score in 29 minutes, which was his first scoreless game of the season.
The Bulls allowed 19 points on 16 turnovers, so cleaning up those mistakes will give them a chance to play a competitive game on Monday. LaVine has averaged 23.7 points and 4.6 assists this season. Chicago has been within two possessions in three of its five losses during its current losing skid. See which team to pick here.
