Bench play has been a huge factor in this series. In the first 5 games, the Grizzlies bench has scored 111 points (23.2% of the teams total points). The Clippers bench has scored 156 points (33.5%). What better way to motivate your bench than to have your two best players go down with injuries. Of course, Paul and Griffin will both be starting and they both should play well enough. Even still, this is the type of motivation that will fire up the bench and jack up the home court crowd. I have a future bet on the Clippers to win the series but rather than let it ride, I'll double down and say they take it at home in game 6. Look for another excellent performance by the Clippers second unit.
