Andre Drummond recorded his typical double-double of 15 points and 13 rebounds. Derrick Rose was the top scorer with 20 points while Svi Mykhailiuk (15) and Christian Wood (11) each added double-figure scoring efforts.
On the season Drummond is averaging a double-double of 17.9 points and 15.9 rebounds which tops both categories on the team. He also leads field goal percentage (54.2 percent), steals (2.0) and blocks (1.8).
The only category he doesn’t lead is assists where Bruce Brown (3.9) holds the honor.
Blake Griffin missed the last game with left knee soreness and Markieff Morris missed the last two games due to a left foot sprain. Both are questionable for Thursday.
Luke Kennard (bilateral knee soreness), Khyri Thomas (broken fifth metatarsal bone in his foot) and Reggie Jackson (stress reaction to lumbar spine) are all out until mid-January.
Los Angeles Clippers
For the last nine games, the Clippers have vacillated between wins and losses and in their last game defeated the Sacramento Kings.
What should help break the pattern is the fact the Clippers are at home for the next four games facing four sub .500 teams. This is a perfect opportunity to iron out the kinks.
In the win over the Kings, Paul George recorded a double-double of 21 points and 11 rebounds. Kawhi Leonard led the scoring effort with 24 points while Mo Harkless (12) and Derrick Walton Jr. (10) pitched in double-figure efforts.
Clippers team leaders are Kawhi Leonard for scoring (25.6), Lou Williams for assists (6.2), and Mo Harkless for steals (1.1). Montrezl Harrell leads three team categories including rebounding (7.4), field goal percent (56.8%) and blocks (1.1).
Lou Williams was out last game for a personal matter but expected to play. Patrick Beverley also missed the Kings game with a sprained wrist and will be out indefinitely.
NBA Betting Trends:
- The Clippers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10
- The Clippers are 5-4-1 in last 10 head to head
- Over Under is 4-6 in team’s last 10 head to head matchups
Free Detroit Pistons vs. Los Angeles Clippers NBA Prediction:
The upcoming slate of games is perfect for the Clippers to gain flow and build chemistry.
Meanwhile, Dwane Casey called out his team’s effort and professionalism after the loss to the Jazz. It might be a good tactic typically to elicit a response but perhaps he should’ve waited until after this game, given the Clippers talent and depth.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Pistons plus points
Then again, the Pistons are in the midst of a six-game road trip and can’t afford to be mediocre for its entirety. I’m hedging the team gives effort and Drummond gives Harrell fits but it won’t be enough to win.
