The set-up: The first game of this series went under the number, but the last three have all gone "over." I think that Game 5 sets up as more of a defensive affair though. These two teams are now fatigued for sure, especially after the Game 4 OT contest. These players aren't super human and I believe the bookmakers are slow in recognizing how exhausted these players will be tonight.

The pick: Additionally note that Dallas has seen the total go under the number in eight of its last 12 after playing to three or more straight "overs," while the Clippers have seen the total dip below in nine of their last 14 after allowing 125 points or more in a setback in their last outing. THis number is high.

This is a 10* TOTAL COACH'S CORNER on the UNDER Mavericks/Clippers.
