Los Angeles won the last meeting, 104-100, on Nov. 25 breaking a four-game losing streak against the Trail Blazers, who have lost five of their last eight games overall, but do come off a big win over Toronto on Friday. The Clippers have struggled lately, but now they're back home where they are 9-3 on the season, while Portland is 5-9 on the road. The Blazers have lost six road games in a row and didn't come close to covering the spread in most of them. The Blazers are shooting just 44.7 percent in away games while allowing 47.4 percent. The Clippers are 8-3 ATS their last 11 home games, and they'll try to bounce back from Friday's loss at Oklahoma City when Paul George was too much for the Clips as he poured in 33 points. Los Angeles is just a small favorite in tonight's matchup, so go with the Clippers on the moneyline.
