Portland at Los Angeles

Portland opened the season by holding Phoenix to 83 points on 36% shooting and 19% from three, in a 124-83 win with 207 combined points. Los Angeles opened with a 127-105 win over Golden State, 232 combined, and forced 16 turnovers that turned into 25 points. Golden State scored 19 points in the second quarter and 16 in the third, and Phoenix scored 12 in the first. Through two games, Portland's opponents are shooting 41.1% from the field, with Phoenix at 36% and Sacramento at 46%. Sacramento made 8 of 31 from three. Portland puts Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams III in the middle, and Williams scored 13 off the bench at Sacramento. Clingan grabbed 10 rebounds in that game, four of them on the offensive glass. Los Angeles has Walker Kessler, who blocked six shots against the Clippers. Portland has two centers built to protect the rim. Kessler has shown he can do the same for Los Angeles, which is why I'm making the UNDER my play tonight.
