76ers vs. Clippers Game Info
Philadelphia 76ers (32-13, 13-9 Away) vs. Los Angeles Clippers (30-16, 15-6 Home)
Date: Saturday, March 27, 2021
Time: 10 p.m. EST
Venue: STAPLES Center — Los Angeles, CA
Coverage: NBATV
Both teams were active before the NBA Trade Deadline, with the 76ers and Clippers acquiring veteran point guards George Hill and Rajon Rondo, respectively. It is unclear if either will be active tonight. What is clear is that both teams will be without a starter in their frontcourt. The 76ers continue to be without Joel Embiid, while the Clippers are missing Serge Ibaka. LA will also be without Patrick Beverley. The Sixers’ frontcourt is made even more thing due to trading backups away for Hill, while the Clippers traded away Lou Williams for Rondo.
Now that the housekeeping is out of the way, we can focus on who will be on the floor tonight. For Philly, Tobias Harris has been their most consistent contributor since Embiid went down. He has put up 20+ points in five of his past seven games, with totals of 17 and 19 in the two failed outings. Ben Simmons, on the other hand, is inconsistent offensively and failing to step up. He has totaled over 20 points just once in March and double-digit assists twice.
The Clippers may be without Kawhi Leonard, who is questionable with a foot injury. In his absence last game, Reggie Jackson led the way with 24 points. Paul George added another 24 points, though he needed 28 shot attempts to get there. In Ibaka’s absence, Ivica Zubac has stepped up, averaging 12.5 points and 10.6 rebounds. He will need to be active on the glass, as the Clippers need to win the rebounding battle to win this game.

76ers vs. Clippers NBA Betting Trends
- Philadelphia is 9-1-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last 11 games.

- The total has hit the under in four of the Clippers’ last six games.
76ers vs. Clippers Prediction
The 76ers have clearly been much worse on the road this season. They are even worse when they are road underdogs, covering the spread only a third of the time. On the other side, the Clippers have an 11-8 record ATS when they are the home favorite and 23-17 ATS when they are the favorite overall this season. With the spread favoring them, I believe this means Kawhi Leonard will be back tonight, which makes me believe the Clippers will win and cover. However, watch the spread and odds shop during the day because it could give us further insight into Kawhi’s status.
Prediction: Clippers -4.5, Under 220.5
