Zubac is one of the Clippers players that have stepped up their game in the playoffs with 20 points, but expect regression from the Clippers in game 2. Dallas did not play well as a whole and there are questions as to if they will step up, and how much more does this add to the total with the Clippers regressing at the same time. Playoff games have trended to the under as it is a different type of game with more defense and both these teams have played to the under throughout the season. Dallas have played 13 of their last 15 games to the Under and when they are on the road they have played eight of their last ten games to the Under. When Dallas plays the Clippers on the road, they have gone Under the Total in five of their last six games. The Clippers have played their last four of five games to the Under and have played their last eight of nine games in general versus Dallas, to the Under. The Clippers are 18-23-1(O/U) to the Under when at home. Dallas is 3-13(O/U) to the Under when they play Pacific Division opponents this season. Dallas is 5-9 (O/U) to the Under this season on the road when the line is +3 to -3. The Clippers are 1-3 (O/U) to the Under this season as a home underdog of 6 points or less and 7-17 (O/U) in the last three seasons in the same spot. The Clippers are 3-15 (O/U) to the Under this season against opponents in the Southwest Division. Their last game only produced 206 points staying well under the game total. This game will stay under the total and that is the best value for bettors.

Best bet: take the Under the Total.
