Memphis at Los Angeles

This series has been a home team takes all through four games, in much of the same fashion as the Hawks vs. Pacers series. Each team has looked great on their home court, and a lot more vulnerable on the road. This becomes a pivotal game, as the Clippers, who have home-court advantage try and hold serve. The Clippers' strong bench was silenced in Memphis. Crawford and Barnes shot a combined 12-35 in the two games played in Memphis, so I expect them to be the key to tonight's game, with a more comfortable atmosphere at home in LA. The Clippers have been strong on two days rest where they are 13-5 ATS in their last 18, and own a 6-1 ATS mark after allowing 100+ in their last game. The Clippers know that with the home win tonight, the series can't end poorly in Memphis, as they will either win it there or play for it all on their home court. Go with the Clippers.
