Los Angeles at Atlanta

The Los Angeles Clippers had hoped that they assembled enough talent a year ago to make a run at a Championship, but they fell short. The lesson they learned along the way is that you have to play both ends of the court. Their 8-4 start shows that in their last eight games they have held six opponents to 90 points or less, so lesson learned. The Hawks have found the going tough without Joe Johnson to bail them out of scoring slumps, and they have been at 90 or less in six games - not including overtime minutes. These teams played to a game that saw just 165 points scored earlier in the season, and I expect more of the same in this one. The Clippers are now 19-9 to the UNDER in their last 28 games on no rest. The Hawks are also 7-2 to the UNDER in their last nine when following a win. Play on the UNDER.
