WIN

The Oklahoma City Thunder continue to cling to a small lead over the San Antonio Spurs for the best overall record in the NBA West. The Clippers were expected to there as well, but a mid-season slump saw this team go 7-12 has kept them behind. The fact is that outside of the slump, the Clippers are 30-11 and in the same conversation with both the Spurs and the Thunder, and are getting some line value as a home dog here. The Clippers seemed to get the wakeup call during the losing stretch where they allowed 100+ in half of 18 games. The light has gone on and the realization that if they didn't play both ends of the court, there would be no championship. The last 14 games have seen them allow 100+ just two times, and it is a big part of the reason why they are 11-2 in their last 13, and this is a big opportunity for them to make a statement that they are a contender. They are 6-1 ATS when facing an opponent that scored 100+ in their last game, and have gotten the defensive notice, having now also gone 9-3 to the UNDER vs. an opponent off of 100+. Play this one on the Clippers and the UNDER.
