It's been a wild series between the Clippers and the Spurs so far, and they head back to L.A. to play Game 5 at the Staples Center tonight tied 2-2. They've alternated wins in all four games so far, with the Clippers bouncing back from an ugly loss in Game 3 to level the series with a win in the last game. We all know that Game 5 is such a pivotal game when a series is tied, and I expect a cautious approach from both teams tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Clippers have seen the total go under in five of their last six at Staples Center, and it would have been six straight if it wasn't for overtime in Game 2.

2. Injuries - Neither team will be at full strength, with Blake Griffin battling a shoulder injury and Tony Parker playing hurt for the Spurs.

3. X-Factor - Gregg Popovich will need to make adjustments to stop the Clippers from scoring like they did in Game 4. Would you bet against him? The Spurs have won six straight Game 5s, and 23 of 31 total since 1999.

Selection: This is a play on the Spurs@Clippers to go UNDER the total (10*)
