+1.5 | 215.5 | 133-132 (1OT) |
The Clippers have begun the season with an urgency under new coach Dwane Casey and with a fully healthy Blake Griffin are capable of taking it up to the 76ers tonight at Little Caesars Arena, and the -1.5 line indicates that.
Ben Simmons (lower back) and Detroit C Andre Drummond (illness) are both listed as questionable so wait for final team lists before investing your hard earned.
Best Bet = NO BET

You want points? You got points. The Pelicans scored 131 points in their season-opening thumping of the Rockets and followed up with a franchise-record 149 points in a rout of the Kings. Mirotic is averaging 33 points and 9.5 rebounds while Anthony Davis is averaging 28.5 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists as the Pelicans begun the season 2-0 by an average of 19.5 points.
The Clips travel well, going 20-9-1 ATS in their last 30 road games, but tonight we can’t go past the form team.
With a line of 239.0, we’ll also dabbling in the Unders.
Best Bet = New Orleans WIN & Under 239.0

The Kings begun the season 0-2, but bounced back on Sunday night with a surprising 131-120 road triumph over OKC.
The Nuggets have won 3 straight to start the season (their best start to a season in 9 years) and could make some noise in the West. On Sunday, Denver showed their wares with a come-from behind 100-98 home court victory against the Warriors.
Unders best tonight, and as teams start to steady defensively these early season inflated scores will soon drop.
Best Bet = Under 228.5
