So far this season, the Clippers are averaging 108.3 points per game and allowing 106.8 points per game. While their offensive ability is fairly average, their defensive efficiency has been impressive. Under the pressure of the Clippers’ defense, it is not easy for any opponent to score freely. The Clippers have been without Leonard and with Harden’s offensive capabilities greatly diminished, Powell has become the team’s primary scoring option. However, now Powell is also sidelined due to injury.

The Magic continue to focus on forcing turnovers and attacking the paint, with an average of only 106.9 points per game, ranking near the bottom of the league. They are also a defense-first team.

This matchup features two teams with poor offensive numbers and strong defenses. Expect a low-scoring game.

Pick: Total points under 206 (bet365)
