Point Spread: -8.00 | -115.00 LA Clippers (Home)
Result: Win
Portland at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET
Clippers (-) over Trailblazers- If there is an 'over-achiever' in the NBA playoffs it is the Portland Trailblazers who were not even expected to make the payoffs after the way their roster was depleted in the off-season and ended up with the fifth seed. The Clippers seeded fourth will have Blake Griffin at full strength after the power forward missed over three months due to an injury and suspension. The Blazers took the first meeting this season but Los Angeles won the next three. They also had a franchise best limiting opponents to 43.3% shooting. Defense wins playoff games. Take LOS ANGELES!
