LA Clippers vs Memphis Grizzlies

The Clippers are holding down 5th spot in the Western Conference standings despite being without Kawhi Leonard, and it is all thanks to their defense. The Clippers are holding teams to 102.5ppg this season (5th fewest) and that number reads just 98ppg in their last 3. They sit second behind the Warriors in defensive efficiency and that will make it tough for a struggling Grizzlies offense. The Grizzlies have scored 110+ points only twice in their last 11 - once in an overtime win against the Timberwolves and the other in their last outing against a Rockets side that ranks 28th in scoring defense allowing 112.8ppg. The Under is 6-2 in the Grizzlies last 8, 5-0 in their last 5 as the underdog and 8-0 in their last 8 Thursday games. The set total will continue to decrease approaching tip-off.

• Under 221.5 points
