The set-up: So far every single game of this series has either gone "under" or "pushed." Denver also closed out its series vs. the Jazz playing to two straight "unders," meaning that for all intents and purposes, the Nuggets have seen the total go "under" in eight straight. The Clippers are on the brink of elimination here after being up 3-1 and if they don't find a way to play a full four quarters of intense basketball, the Clippers/Lakers matchup everyone wanted will not happen. Denver is adaptable to its play style, so from a situational stand point, I think Game 7 sets up as more of a "track meet," then a "chess match."

The pick: Additionally note that the Clippers have seen the total go "over" the number in eight of their last 12 after back-to-back SU/ATS setbacks. This number is too low.

This is a 10* TOTAL ELITE OF THE ELITE on the OVER Denver/LA.
