10* TOTAL OF WEEK - 33-14 (+$17K) NBA
(NBA) LA Clippers vs. Minnesota,
Total: 231.00 | -104.00 Under
Result: Win
This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER Clippers/Wolves.

If LA is going to win this game, it'll have to body up on the Wolves and play tough perimeter defense.

The Clippers can score, but trying to get into a "track meet" with the high-flying Wolves will fall directly into their game-plan.

LA just doesn't have the firepower to keep pace over this entire game. The Clippers best chance at an outright upset is to slow this one down and to grind out a victory. Force the Wolves into a pace and flow that they don't want.

If either teams hopes to make a deep playoff run, clearly it'll have to get things figured out on the defensive end.

Public perception has driven this O/U number a few points higher than it should be. This is the playoffs now, not the regular season.

The play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
