They have two former regular-season MVPs and a two-time NBA Finals MVP. Tyronn Lue’s team showed glimpses of what they can do as a unit. However, they would have to fast-track their rhythm and chemistry to end their two-game losing streak and four-game skid on the road.Paul George had a timid performance in Harden’s debut. “PG13” often handles playmaking duties for his team when it’s not Russell Westbrook that’s orchestrating the offense. The presence of “The Beard” seemed to have affected him more than anyone.LA’s starting five is loaded. They just have to play well together with decent support from the bench.Nets coach Jacques Vaughn has been unable to get a break. He’s almost always playing at a disadvantage. This season, injuries have riddled his lineup. At one point, he had to rely on four bench players and a starter for tip-off.Fortunately, Spencer Dinwiddie and Ben Simmons are back. They will be key players for Vaughn. However, missing Nic Claxton and Cam Johnson will continue to be a problem, particularly against a stacked Clippers roster.The Brooklyn Nets will be hoping Cam Thomas and Mikal Bridges were scorching hot against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. Vaughn will be hoping his two best scorers can sustain that form.LA Clippers vs Brooklyn Nets: Odds and predictionsMoneyline: Clippers (-174) vs. Nets (+148)Spread: Clippers (-4.5) vs. Nets (+4.5)Total (O/U): Clippers (o229) vs. Nets (u229)Even with only one game under their belt, a team with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Russell Westbrook and James Harden is usually favored.
