LOSS

Western Conference playoff clubs collide Sunday when the Los Angeles Clippers host the Memphis Grizzlies. The Clippers are fifth in the Conference with a 33-24 record after losing their last Friday night in Utah 105-103. Memphis is sixth at 32-26 after winning its last two. In fact, the Grizzlies have picked up two games on the Clippers in their last 10 by going 6-4 while the Clippers were going 4-6. The Grizzlies will come in well-rested too after last playing Wednesday night at home when they defeated the New York Knicks 101-99. Los Angeles had their three-game winning streak snapped Friday after a closely-fought, 105-103 loss to Utah. Six players scored in double-digits for the Clippers in the defeat, with Elton Brand leading the team with 31. Corey Maggette made his return Friday night after missing 39 games with a foot injury. Maggette looked a little rusty, scoring 12 points on 3-of-11 shooting from the field With a game under their belts Corey Maggette and Chris Kaman back playing the Clippers should be ready to outmuscle and outsize the Grizzlies as they did in their earlier meeting in L.A. In that meeting back on February 2, Los Angeles defeated Memphis 91-87 as a 4-point home favorite. Tonight the Clippers will be focused after losing as a good-sized favorite on Friday. They've had time to stew about that loss and will be fired up tonight. As a home favorite of 6 or less, the Clippers are 12-3 ATS this season. Four stars on the Clippers.
