The two teams have met once this season, with the Trail Blazers defeating the Clippers 106-105. This time, the Clippers are at home again. In their previous matchup, the Clippers struggled offensively, while the Blazers’ offense was also average. However, looking at the Blazers’ recent form, they have been performing well and are capable of competing. James Harden has recently been improving offensively and has been meshing better with the team. He has also been effectively organizing the offense, making the team’s plays flow smoothly. Therefore, I expect both teams to have a high-scoring game.

Pick: Total points over 219.5 (bet365)
