The Clippers are in the front end of a back-to-back at the end of a long road trip, and it's probably fair to assume at least a few guys might have the South Beach flu today considering they have been in Miami since early Saturday. The Heat have followed a long skid with back-to-back wins. They are frankly due a home cover as a dog at 0-5 ATS this season.

Either way I believe Bam stuffs the stat sheet today,

This is simply too low of a number for a player the caliber of Paul George who is likely to play upwards of 30+ minutes. George averages approximately 9.0 combined Reb + Ast on the season and the 9x All-Star should play enough minutes to eclipse this line.
