Clippers vs. Celtics Game Info
Los Angeles Clippers (24-12, 12-6 Away) vs. Boston Celtics (17-17, 10-5 Home)
Date: Tuesday, March 2, 2021
Time: 7:30 p.m. EST
Venue: TD Garden — Boston, Mass.
Coverage: TNT
Both of these teams have been inconsistent, to say the least. The Clippers haven’t won two games in a row since mid-February, which coincides with the return of Paul George to the rotation. The Celtics have now won their past two games. However, they lost eight of their 11 games prior to that. The Clippers appear healthy for tonight, while Boston has Jaylen Brown listed as questionable after missing last game with a knee injury.
This Clippers team has been highlighted by their offense, which ranks second in the league in offensive efficiency (115.8). Typically a stout defense team the past few season, Los Angeles is tied for 13th in defensive efficiency this season (108.8). Boston is average in both of these categories, ranking 15th (109.4) and 16th (109.6), respectively.
The previous meeting between these teams in Los Angeles went to the Celtics, who won by 4 on the road. With Brown and George both out for that game, Jayson Tatum was the high point man, with 34.

Clippers vs. Celtics Prediction
The Clippers have alternated between wins and losses for a couple weeks now. Coming off a loss on Sunday, their strong offense looks ready to lift this team to victory today. If they go all out and Kawhi Leonard plays motivated defense against Tatum, they should absolutely win this game and cover.
Prediction: Clippers -3.5
