The set-up: New Orleans has a tough game out of the gate in Utah on Opening night and I think it'll come in tired here. New Orleans was one of the hottest teams before the break, but one has to wonder if the long lay off will a proverbial "monkey wrench" into its momentum?

The pick: Same for the Clippers though, who sit three games back of the Lakers, a team which they face on Opening night July 30th. All three of their regular season games would have easily blasted past this posted number, but the overall situation makes the "under" the correct call finally in this matchup.

10* play on the UNDER Pels/Clips.
