Los Angeles Clippers vs Indiana Pacers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/23/25

The Clippers are off to a rocky 1-1 start to their 8-game road trip, on Sunday they have a tough match-up vs Indiana as they look to get revenge for a 7-point defeat suffered earlier in the month in LA. They might be without Norman Powell and Kawhi Leonard here though, which would be a massive handicap. In order to beat this Indiana team you need scoring, we all know how much Powell’s ascent has contributed to the success of the Clippers this year. The Clippers are 4 point underdogs here, understandable considering they’re just 2-4 ATS/SU in the last 6 meetings and have covered the spread just twice in 8 games overall.

Meanwhile, Indiana has been playing at a high level for quite a while now, winning 15 of their last 20 games and climbing all the way up to 4th in the East. With the Bucks and Pistons both on win streak behind them, pressure is on Indy to continue winning if they want to keep hold of the 4th seed. From a health standpoint they are doing much better than the Clippers here with their two main stars Siakam and Haliburton both being healthy and producing. We just saw Indy beat a strong Memphis team without much trouble in their first game after the break, knocking down 17 threes in that game. LA is a much better team defensively though, so I doubt we’ll see them scoring 50 in a quarter like they did on the Grizz.

I just feel like the defense of the Clippers gives them the edge here. We were all surprised when Indiana won that first meeting in LA. Rebounding is another area where the Clippers should dominate, Indiana ranks only 28th in rebounds per game. That’s bad news going up against Ivica Zubac who has elevated his game quite a bit this season. I’m taking the Clippers to even out the regular season series here.
