Current Records: Los Angeles 16-5; Brooklyn 13-9

What to Know

The Los Angeles Clippers will head out on the road to face off against the Brooklyn Nets at 7:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Barclays Center. These two teams have set a high bar for this game after stand-out offensive performances in their previous games.

The Clippers strolled past the New York Knicks with points to spare on Sunday, taking the contest 129-115. It was another big night for Los Angeles' small forward Kawhi Leonard, who had 28 points.

Brooklyn lost a heartbreaker to the Washington Wizards when they met last month, and they left with a heavy heart again on Sunday. The Nets fell just short of Washington by a score of 149-146. The losing side was boosted by power forward Kevin Durant, who had 37 points and six assists in addition to seven rebounds.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Los Angeles is expected to win a tight contest. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a three-game streak of ATS wins.

Los Angeles' victory lifted them to 16-5 while Brooklyn's defeat dropped them down to 13-9. Allowing an average of 117.68 points per game, Brooklyn hasn't exactly asserted themselves on the defensive end. We'll see if they can patch up the holes in their defense before their upcoming matchup.
