The set-up: Boston comes to town injured. It's off a 116-110 loss to the Kings. The projected starting line-up of Jason Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Kemba Walker and Daniel Theis have played all of two games together. Walker isn't even back into "game shape" at this point after returning from a lengthy injury. LA's won four of its last five.

The pick: The Clippers have looked dangerous when healthy this year and I think their defense is underrated. LA just held Cleveland to 99 points in a 121-99 road win. The Clippers have interestingly seen the total dip under the number in ten of their last 16 after a SU road victory in which they held their opponent to 100 points or fewer in. This one sets up as more of a lower-scoring game in my opinion.
