Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum came to life in Game 3 after a slow start in the series as they combined for 59 points in Portland's 96-88 win in Game 3. Also, Mason Plumlee pulled down 21 rebounds and added nine assists, and the Blazers took advantage of the Clippers' poor shooting both from the field and at the free throw line. Los Angeles had just a .409 field goal percentage, including a 3-of-18 performance from three-point range. In addition, the Clippers missed 10 of 23 foul shots mostly due to DeAndre Jordan's pitiful 3-of-10 from the line, many of which came at crucial times. All three games in the series have gone UNDER, including Game 3 by 24 points, and eight of the last 10 meetings have stayed UNDER. Also, the Clippers are 35-17 UNDER after a loss dating to last year. Los Angeles is a small favorite in this matchup, but play the Trailblazers on the moneyline and also the UNDER.
