The Clippers are coming into this game with a 7-9 record this season and they have been struggling a lot to move up in the Western Conference since acquiring Harden via trade. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games but they have actually been playing much better recently overall as they have won 4 of their last 6 games. They have also won their last 2 straight games on the road, both wins coming against the Spurs, and they have also responded with wins right after their last 2 losses as well. They are going up against a Kings team that is 10-6 this season and has been playing well recently with 2 straight wins but they are also in a bad spot for this game. They played at home last night against the Warriors in a game they won by 1 point but they were trailing that game the entire time and had to exert a lot of energy in the 4th quarter to defend and outscore the Warriors by 10 points which won them the game by 1. They are on a B2B here and even though they are still at home, they exerted a lot of energy to win last night and fatigue will settle in late in this game for them which will be their downfall. The Kings have only played 1 B2B this season and they lost the 2nd game after winning the 1st one. The Clippers are also coming off of a loss at home against the Nuggets who were missing both Murray and Jokic so they are going to be hungry to bounce back from that embarrassing loss as well. The Clippers will cover the spread in this game.
