NBA Basketball Betting: Philadelphia vs. Los Angeles
Philadelphia 76ers @ Los Angeles Clippers u188.5 (-110)
Mon March 3 ’08 10:35p
The Los Angeles Clippers have had trouble scoring points all year and the Philadelphia 76ers have tended to play at the pace of their opposition, which sets up nicely for an Under this evening.
The Clippers are averaging just 93.9 points per game overall this season, and they have actually been slightly worse here at home where they average 92.8 points. Not surprisingly, the Under is 35-22 in all Clippers games this season, including 20-11 at home and 8-2 in their last 10 games overall. Worse yet, their offense has actually gotten worse lately, as they are averaging a pathetic 85.6 points over the last five games.
Now the Sixers are coming off of a 119-114 upset of the Suns at Phoenix, but that score had a lit more to do with the Phoenix pace than the ability of the Philadelphia offense, and besides the 76ers can be expected to have a letdown tonight after such a big win. Expect them to return to their normal level here, and the Sixers are averaging 94.5 points per road contest on the year.
Finally, the Under is 3-1 in the last four head-to-head meetings including their encounter in Philadelphia last month where the clubs combined for 181 points. They may not even reach that total tonight the way the Clippers are shooting right now.
