Los Angeles at Portland

Premium Pick

The Los Angeles Clippers are a dog, but are well suited to that role with star power, and an offense ranked #5 in points scored. Portland is just 2-3 ATS the last five games, even losing straight-up to Atlanta as -6 chalk at home. Both these teams can play defense with the Blazers tops in the NBA in points allowed and second in field goal shooting defense. LA is on a 7-2 run UNDER the total while the Blazers are on a 3-0-1 run UNDER the total, plus 4-1-1 UNDER the total at home. Portland's previous meeting with the Clippers was a 106-102 loss. J.J. Redick scored 30 points on 11-of-13 shooting and Los Angeles posted a 49.4 field goal percentage. LA matches up well and can steal a win again plus this game will be a defensive duel (the Blazers are 18-7-1 UNDER the total following a win of more than 10 points). Play the LA Clippers on the moneyline and take the game UNDER the total.
