The SuperSonics look to extend their home winning streak to 4 games when they tangle Friday with the Los Angeles Clippers.
Los Angeles brings a 45-33 overall mark (7-9 in the division) into this game versus a Seattle team carrying a 33-45 record.
Defence may play a big role in this one, but that's mainly because experts don't think much of it will be played. Oddsmakers opened the total on the high side, a huge 208.5. The line opened at 2 in favor of Seattle.
Mike Dunleavy's team was busy last game winning against the Trail Blazers 97-93 as 13-point favorites. The 190 points sent that game over the total of 187.
Seattle, on the other hand, are home to shake off a loss last time out against New Orleans. They were 4-point underdogs and ended up on the wrong end of a 104-99 score, in a game that went under the closing total.
Expect the league's #2 offence to chuck in lots of points and generate trouble for the Clippers defence. Averaging 102.4 points per game, the SuperSonics can run up the score if they get on a roll.
Some trends to consider:
Los Angeles are 1-6-0 ATS in its last 7 games after scoring 90 to 100 points
Los Angeles are 1-5-0 SU in its last 6 games after being 10.5 to 14 point favorites
Los Angeles are 1-4-0 OU in its last 5 games
Los Angeles are 1-4-0 OU in its last 5 away
Seattle is 5-1-0 ATS in its last 6 home games
Seattle is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 games at home against Los Angeles
Seattle is 8-2-1 OU in its last 11 games against Los Angeles
Seattle is 4-1-1 ATS in its last 6 games
