Boston at Los Angeles

We got the win on Boston last night as they handled Portland by ten. It was a relatively weak defensive performance for them and we expect them to return to better defense tonight, especially against the lowly Clippers. LA is injury riddled (Elton BRand, Shaun Livingston, Chris Kaman and Sam Cassell). Despite their weak record, the Clippers have a good defense, especially at home. Their problem is offense. It's one reason they have gone UNDER in 32 of 43 games this season including 17 of 28 at home. The Celtics, vs. losing teams, clamp down and do it on defense. They are 7-1 UNDER in their last eight games vs. losing teams. LA is 11-2 UNDER in their last 13 games as a home dog of 5-10 points and 4-1 UNDER in their last five home games.
