We've reset the Play of the Day with fresh bankrolls and turned it into a yearly competition. Our three sports writers have re-started with $10,000 bankrolls to continue using on odds from the South Point.

Los Angeles Clippers at Portland Trailblazers over 205: $770 to win $700

Portland, which trails the Western Conference first-round series 2-1, has gone under in five straight games and 11 of the last 14. Los Angeles has gone under in three straight (because, duh) and 12 of the last 16, two trends that have pushed this total to the lowest of the season.

This is the Trailblazers’ last real shot at winning this series, becasue a 3-1 is generally insurmountable. I think Portland is up to the task and will get the straight-up victory, but I’m more confident that the slight underdogs are going to have a great offensive night. I think we’re headed toward something in the 210-15 range, so here’s to bucking a trend.

Current Standings (as of July 1): Brewer (45-37-2, $11,690), Bern (30-36, $6,895), Keefer (43-54-2, $6,590)

Lifetime standings: 2014-15 Champion Bern (109-110-1), Brewer (114-124-4), Keefer (126-136-4)
