Clippers

Just wanted to give everybody a heads up about the Clippers tomorrow night.

From the Twitter feed of Los Angeles Times Clippers beat writer, Lisa Dillman:

Eric Gordon (sore left groin) doubtful for Monday night?s game vs. New Orleans.

The Clippers do actually have a fair amount of depth, however...

How valuable has he (Gordon) been to the Clippers to start the season? The team scores 108.8 points per 100 possessions and allows only 100.9 when Eric is on the floor. When Eric?s on the bench, the Clippers are a basket case (94.0/125.4).

Hope this info helps. I'll be at the game and don't want to be rooting against them, but I would certainly take New Orleans (+1) in this spot based on this info.

Given the lack of efficiency that Gordon's absence will seemingly create, and given New Orleans' own offensive struggles, I think under 195.5 should come in quite handily.

Under 195.5 x2. :00x31

offensive struggle for new orleans is an understatement for sure. lakers were letting em back in the game last night in 2nd half and new orleans couldn't even do that being given the game. horrible offense
