ASA play on 8* Under 219 LA Clippers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers, 7 PM ET - Our computers are projecting just 213 total points in this game which has us pleasantly surprised Vegas set a total this high on this game. Let’s start with pace of play. The Cavaliers are currently the second slowest team in the NBA at 97 possessions per game, only New York is slower at 95.4. The fourth slowest team in the league is the Clippers at 97.3 possessions per game. In other words, neither team is going to look to push the tempo here. L.A. is 22nd in the NBA in Fastbreak points per game at 11.5PPG which is another indicator they are not interested in playing fast. Los Angeles is coming off a HUGE game last night against the Nets and will be also playing their 3rd game in four nights so fatigue becomes a factor, especially when they are short a few players. The Clippers are 1-2 Under this season when playing without rest and those games averaged 216 total points. Cleveland made a solid trade when they acquired Prince and Allen from the Nets who give them toughness and a rim protector in Allen. The Cavs have the 8th best defensive efficiency in the NBA allowing just 1.093 points per possession. They are also hold the second worst offensive efficiency in the league at 1.05PPG. The Clippers and opponents have stayed under this number in four of their last six. Cleveland games have stayed under this total in three straight. Those trends continue here. Bet UNDER!
