Free Orlando Magic vs. Los Angeles Clippers NBA Prediction:
All of a sudden, the Clippers look like the team everyone may want to avoid in the 2023 NBA Playoffs, which are just about a month away.
That’s really no coincidence with Kawhi Leonard healthy. He’s looked every bit the part of superstar and franchise leader LA needs and expects him to be, and as long as he stays on the court, the Clippers will be a problem.
Obviously, that applies to Saturday’s matchup as well.
With Los Angeles bringing in a mostly healthy roster, including Kawhi Leonard, the home Clips shouldn’t have a problem against a Magic team that’s more likely to be in the lottery than the Play-In when the season ends in three weeks.
Give this one to hometown Los Angeles on Saturday, and give it to them both SU and ATS.
