The set-up: The Clippers have seen the total go over the number in four straight and in five of their first seven overall, while the Thunder have seen the total go over in four of their first seven, including in three straight. While these teams have been firing on all cylinders offensively during the re-start, I believe their finale finally sets up as a lower-scoring "under."

The pick: And that's because LA is locked into the No. 2 spot and I think it will just go through the motions tonight as it looks to avoid any serious injury. And the same thing for the Thunder, who are tied with the Rockets in fourth spot and will be facing Houston in the first round. This meaningless contest has "under" written all over it.

This is a 10* TOTAL BEST OF THE BEST on the UNDER Thunder/Clippers.
