Cleveland is still trying to figure out how to play with Shaquille O\u2019Neal in the lineup, and Mo Williams has struggled, averaging just 10.4 points over his last five games. For the Cavs\u2019 sportsbook odds to improve, they need Williams to be more consistent.<\/p>\n<p>The Clippers had dropped two in a row before Friday\u2019s meeting with the Lakers, but prior to that, they had won four straight. Baron Davis has been powering the Clippers, averaging 19.4 points and 10.2 assists over his last five games. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bodogaffiliate.com\/resources\/banners\/sportsbook\/square\/250x250\/250x250g-sportsbook.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Sports Betting at the Sportsbook\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/>The Clippers are a better team when Davis is healthy, and they\u2019ll need him to continue his good run of form since they got their latest bad news. No.1 overall pick Blake Griffin will miss the rest of the season because of his knee injury he suffered in the final preseason game, which is just another story in the Clippers\u2019 poor draft history.<\/p>\n<p>US sportsbook odds (<a title=\"US sportsbook reviews\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ussportsbookreviews.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">US sportsbook reviews<\/a>) should back Cleveland on the road, as they\u2019ve won eight of their last nine against the Clippers. Cleveland will get another edge in this game as the Clippers will play a tough game against the Lakers on Friday, and the Lakers will be eager to avenge a loss to the Clippers from last week. Playing back-to-back games is tough enough, but it\u2019s a tough thing to ask a team to play the league\u2019s best teams on back-to-back nights. The Clippers are 4-4 in the second half of back-to-back games so far this season, but this is the toughest back-to-back you can ask for, and the Cavs will be rested, as well as angry from a one-point loss in Utah on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Internet betting \" href=\"http:\/\/www.internetbet.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Internet betting<\/a> pick: Cleveland<\/p>\n<h3>START NBA GAMBLING TODAY AT BODOG SPORTSBOOK &amp; CASINO\u2026.CLICK HERE TO JOIN!!!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poolside rants weighs in with some picks for tonights hoops action&#8230;NBA style.
