NBA Picks Monday 10/31/2016 – PHO vs. LAC

Pick #1 – Phoenix Suns at Los Angeles Clippers

Crazy to start to the NBA year so far and we pick things back up tonight as we get the Phoenix Suns (0-3) at the Los Angeles Clippers (2-0) in a game that puts the undefeated against the winless. Both teams report zero injury concerns with the Clippers Paul Pierce being the only person of note to have any chance of missing the game. Right out the gate we see that the sharp money is pounding this NBA total down as a 210.5 opening line has now dropped to a 207 giving our first clue as to where this UNDER bet is headed. Digging deeper we see that the total has gone UNDER in 13 of Phoenix's last 19 games and the total has gone UNDER in 14 of LA Clippers's last 21 games so its a perfect case of two teams coming together that simply slow the pace down when they meet. We also note that the total has gone UNDER in 4 of LA Clippers's last 6 games when playing at home against Phoenix and Clippers really do lock it down and tonight should be no different forcing yet another under. The recent offensive and defensive form statistics give us averages of 202.33 and 201.17 respectively which makes the UNDER super appealing in this one. The total combined OVER/UNDER record for the year here is 2-3 so were getting a ton of value in our favor here. The public consensus for this game is 67% against us but were trust our read here with this one. The computer predicted outcome of this opener is 206 so its looking like its all signs go here on the UNDER 207 pick and we have to feel confident picking this one up.
