Nets at Clippers Over 208 1/2 The Clippers shouldn’t have any problem getting their share of points against the lowly Nets. Chris Paul is playing at a high level again averaging 26.7 points and 11.3 assists during LA’s past six games. If you don’t count an off-night against Denver two games ago, the Clippers are […]
