10* UNDER Heat/Clippers (EAST-CONF TOW)

I think this is a great spot to pull the trigger on the "under." Both teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games, but everything points to much more of a defensive affair here. Miami has seen the total go "over" the number in three of its last four. That includes in its first two road games here. Despite that though, the Heat still only average 109 PPG, which ranks 30th in the league. Off the 126-123 win at Utah, I expect a much more defensive affair here in La La Land. The Clippers have seen the total go "over" the number in five of their last, including in their lastest 131-130 loss at Indiana last time out. That was in regulation. 261 points is a lot of points. After this non-conference game, the Clippers have three whole nights off before the start of B2B at Denver and Minnesota. It's a bit of a trap game for the home side. The overall situation points to the "under" as the correct call!
