The Los Angeles Clippers' playoff experience was in full view as they blew out Portland 115-95 in Game 1. Chris Paul scored 28 points and DeAndre Jordan added 18 points and 12 rebounds in the winning effort. The Clippers have won seven of their last eight games and playing their best basketball of the season. The Clippers shot a scorching 55.3 percent from the floor while the Trail Blazers managed just a .402 field goal percentage with Damian Lillard leading the Blazers with 21 points on 7-for-17 shooting. Portland's frontcourt was a non-factor. The Clippers are 6-0 with Blake Griffin in the lineup since he returned from an injury and suspension. The Blazers are 0-4 ATS their last four games and the Clippers have covered the number their last four home games. Also, these teams have gone UNDER four of the last five meetings and Los Angeles likely will have a lower field goal percentage in this one. Take the Clippers and the UNDER.
