Los Angeles at Portland

The Los Angeles Clippers have certainly stocked their roster into contender status, and an injury-healed Portland team appears ready to make a run as well. Both of these teams are young and talented which usually means the offense comes around much ahead of the defense, so look for this one to be higher scoring than expected. The Blazers are not only 5-0 at home, but are putting up just shy of 105 per night on home hardwood. The Clippers were an offensive nightmare a year ago, but now with Chris Paul at the throttle the offense is producing just shy of the century mark on the season. The Clippers are 5-1 to the OVER vs. teams better than .600, and on the run. Play this one OVER the total.
