Clippers vs. Trail Blazers Prediction

The absence of Paul George doesn't bode well for the LA Clippers heading into tonight. One of the finest forwards in the game, his hamstring injury is bad news for the team, but it didn't prevent them from picking up a win over the Pacers on Sunday.

The Trail Blazers, meanwhile, have won just one of their past six games. Despite passable offensive and defensive ratings this season, they've struggled to gain much momentum and are coming into tonight's game missing Damian Lillard. Overall, this looks like a fairly safe game for the Clippers to pick up a win.

Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers +4 (-106)
