As competitive as the Los Angeles Clippers have been at home this season, it has been a struggle in road games as they are 19-31 overall but just 3-17 on the road. Los Angeles will play the third game of an 11-game road trip, the longest for any NBA team this season, Tuesday night with a 7:00PM EST contest at Orlando (32-20).
Oddsmakers and online sports book Sportsbook.com have made the Orlando Magic 9-point favorites, while the over-under is set at 201.5. According to the latest trends, the Clippers are 25-24 against the spread this season while the Magic are 22-29 ATS.
Griffin leads Los Angeles with 22.9 points per game and 12.8 rebounds per game, but he is missing the production of shooting guard Eric Gordon (24.1 ppg) who has been out with an injury the past two-plus weeks. Orlando’s Dwight Howard, who is the NBA’s leader in dunks this season with Griffin being second, averages 22.4 ppg and 13.7 rpg.
