The Brooklyn Nets are on another losing streak, and it's happening in front of New York spectators. Brooklyn went 0-3 on a road trip to Boston and Indiana, then returned only to lose to Dallas and Toronto by a combined 59 points. The Los Angeles Clippers will visit tonight for a 7:30 p.m. tip-off at Barclays Center, happy to seek a key victory over such an ailing Nets team.
Kawhi Leonard's club is improving its seed in the Western Conference with another week of solid basketball, starting a two-game stint in NYC with a 126-113 statement win over the Knicks. Clippers guard Norman Powell is rivaling James Harden's 22+ PPG average, giving L.A. a three-headed scoring monster.
Can the Brooklyn Nets play spoiler amidst a fresh downturn? Sportsbooks don't think so, giving Los Angeles pricey one-to-six odds to hand the Nets their sixth consecutive loss.

L.A. Clippers vs Brooklyn Nets Predictions & Picks
Just when the Brooklyn Nets thought things couldn't get worse, they did. Toronto had such an easy win over the host Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday that the Raptors' leading scorer Orlando Robinson only played 24 minutes. Center Nic Claxton's double-double was the only bright spot for the Nets. Claxton's 22 points were a season-high for the 6'11" baller. But the Nets trailed by double-digits from the first quarter onward, just as in Monday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
Finally, there's the stain of Brooklyn's last tip-off with the L.A. Clippers. The Clippers blew away the Nets 126-67, setting a club record with the 59-point win while dealing the Nets a meek new record for margin-of-defeat on January 15. "It was so bad it was kind of entertaining," blogged Lucas Kaplan of Nets Daily. "Brooklyn was tired, and in (its) injured state, far less offensively talented than any NBA team has a right to be."
Don't look for more records to be set tonight. Many of the Nets' starters sat out that Clippers blow-out, a theme that reappeared when Cam Johnson sat out the Raptors win on Hump Day. If Johnson returns, the Clippers will turn more focus to their defense, not an easy chore when Harden is playing. If the Nets go tanking with a reserve lineup again, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue will turn to his bench with a late lead. That makes the low side of the O.U a solid pick for what may be a sloppy rematch.
