Los Angeles at New Orleans

The LA Clippers and the New Orleans Pelicans are going to make the playoffs, but because the NBA West has so many teams fighting for seeding, this becomes a very big game. Big games tend to bring defenses that come to play. New Orleans is 6-1 in their last 7 games and it has been their commitment to the defensive end that has made a difference. The Pelicans have played 7 of their last 8 under the total, and 4 of those opponents have scored 96 or fewer points. The Clippers scored just 94 last night in Memphis and with no rest and 3 games in 4 days I think their offense struggles. Make the play UNDER the total.
