Clippers at Bobcats – LA is Finding Their Groove

Believe it or not BetOnline NBA sports betting fanatics, the Los Angeles Clippers, (12-39 SU, 22-29 ATS, 31-20 O/U) have won two straight games in the BetOnline Sportsbook, covering the spread each time out!

The Charlotte Bobcats (19-31 SU, 28-22 ATS, 22-26-2 O/U) are struggling in a big way at the moment, having lost five consecutive games coming into tonight’s, while going an ugly, 1-4 against the spread during the losing streak.

Second-year forward Al Thornton went off for a game-high 31 points in helping the Clippers upset the Atlanta Hawks 121-97 on Saturday, helping L.A. cover the spread as 7-point road underdogs while the game’s 218 total points sailed OVER the night’s posted total of 202. Head case forward Zach Randolph scored 25 points and grabbed nine rebounds while veteran swingman Fred Jones dished out nine assists.

The Bobcats lost to the Miami Heat 96-92 on Sunday, failing to cover the spread as an 8-point road underdog while the combined score went OVER the posted over/under total (183).

Rookie point guard D.J. Augustin led the Bobcats with 27 points and veteran forward Juwan Howard added 14 points in the loss.

Analysis: I’m seriously disappointed in the Charlotte Bobcats and their recent play after making some big strides under Hall of Fame head coach Larry Brown just a couple of weeks back.

The Clippers on the other hand, have looked absolutely phenomenal in winning each of their last two games on the road in emphatic fashion no less.

With the Bobcats mired in a big funk and the Clippers steamrolling their last two opponents, I say the Clippers make it three straight wins – and no, beloved BetOnline NBA sports betting members – that is not a misprint!
