My 8* NON-CONFERENCE ULTIMATE TOTAL is on the "over" between the Clippers and Nets at 7:30 EST. Brooklyn will look to play with some pride here after five straight losses, most recently a 116-86 setback here to Toronto. The Nets will also be looking to atone for a humbling 126-67 loss at the Clippers back in January. LA is 41-31 and second in the Pacific. LA has won six of its last seven, including posting a 126-113 win at the Knicks last time out. Kawhi Leonard had 27 points in the victory and I expect LA to duplicate that offensive performance here. With each side pushing the pace like I believe it will, I'm expecting a very high-scoring affair this time around. This number is low, the play is the over.
