The Cleveland Cavaliers come into tonight’s contest against the Los Angeles Clippers as massive favorites on home court, but I’ve got my eye on Clippers center Ivica Zubac.
The L.A. big man has been a monster on the glass, and I believe he’ll be able to take advantage of a mismatch against the Cavs.
Keep reading for my Clippers vs. Cavaliers predictions and NBA picks for tonight's game.
Clippers vs Cavaliers prediction
Clippers vs Cavaliers best bet: Ivica Zubac Over 12.5 rebounds + assists (-120)
The Los Angeles Clippers earned just their fifth win of the season last night as they trounced the Hornets 131-116. They’ll face a much tougher test tonight when they visit the Cleveland Cavaliers, but center Ivica Zubac should still have a good night on the glass.
Zubac is averaging 11.3 boards per game this season, the fifth-best mark in the NBA, while also dishing out a couple of dimes per contest. The Clippers center has been even more dominant over the last couple of weeks, snagging a massive 12.7 rpg in November.
Zubac has recorded Over 12.5 rebounds + assists in five straight outings and eight of his last nine. He might top that number with boards alone tonight vs. the Cavs, who rank 18th in rebounding.
Cleveland has also been good at forcing misses, ranking 10th in the NBA in opponent FG% (45.9%), so Zubac will have plenty of rebounding opportunities on the offensive end.
