2024-25 season series: Tied 1-1.
Milwaukee is not quite eliminated from the playoff hunt, but it is 7 1/2 games back of the Charlotte Hornets for the final play-in spot in the Eastern Conference with 12 games to go, so it doesn’t look good.
The Bucks topped the Phoenix Suns 108-105 on Saturday, winning outright as an 11-point underdog as the Under (217.5) cashed. G Ryan Rollins went for 26 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals with a trio of 3-pointers in the road win. Milwaukee has won 2 of its past 4 games, going 3-1 against the spread (ATS), while the Under is 4-2 across the Bucks’ past 6 outings.
Los Angeles holds the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference standings, 4 1/2 games back of the Phoenix Suns for seventh. However, the Clippers are just a half-game up on the Portland Trail Blazers with a game in hand, and 2 games up on the Golden State Warriors.
The Clippers posted a 138-131 OT win in Dallas on Saturday, pushing as 7-point favorites at most shops as the Over (233.5) cashed. G Darius Garland racked up 41 points with 11 assists while hitting 8 triples, and F Kawhi Leonard ended up with 34 points with 5 3-pointers, 5 assists, 2 steals and a block.
The victory snapped a 4-game skid, though LA is just 1-4-1 ATS in its past 6 outings. The Under is 5-1 in the past 6 games, too.
This is the first of 2 regular-season meetings, with the teams also meeting on Sunday, March 29, at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. The Bucks have won 5 of the past 6 meetings since Feb. 2, 2023, while going 4-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 5 meetings. The Under is 4-2 in the past 6 in the series, too.

Bucks at Clippers picks and predictionsPrediction
Clippers 115, Bucks 107
The Clippers (-800) will set you back 8 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward. Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, it’s way too risky to include LA.
PASS, and look to the spread instead.
The BUCKS +13.5 (-115) is worth a look. Milwaukee has covered 3 of its past 4 games and has cashed the past 2 games as a double-digit underdog — including the outright win in Phoenix on Saturday as an 11-point underdog. The Bucks are 4-1 ATS in the past 5 games catching 10+ points, too.
For the Clippers, they’re skidding against the number, going 1-4-1 ATS in their past 6 games and 0-3-1 ATS in their past 4 games when favored by 7 or more points.
UNDER 222.5 (-105) is the lean but roll with a half-unit play at best.
The Under has dominated for the Clippers lately, going 5-1 across the past 6 games, including 3 straight games at Intuit Dome.
For the Bucks, the Under has cashed in the past 2 games and is 4-2 in their past 6 outings. The Under has cashed in 5 straight Milwaukee road games, too.
