This is a 10* TOTAL BK on the UNDER Bulls/Clippers.

Both teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but I'm finally expecting more of a defensive battle here.

Chicago is off three straight road victories, the latest a 125-122 road win at Golden State as an 8.5-point dog. Note though that the Bulls have seen the total dip below the posted number in eight of their last 12 after a SU/ATS road win as underdogs.

The Clippers enter off a 122-116 win at Houston, but with Milwaukee and Minnesota coming to town up next, I'm expecting the home side to focus on the defensive end tonight as it saves "gas" for the upcoming schedule.

This number is high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
