The Los Angeles Clippers are riding a four-game win streak into Friday night's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, who have lost two-in-a-row.

The Clippers currently sit in the play-in tournament in the Western Conference, but if they keep this hot streak going, it won't be long before they find themselves above the play-in line.

Let's take a look at the odds and my best bets for this Western Conference showdown.

Grizzlies vs. Clippers Prop Bet

• Desmond Bane UNDER 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (-125) via BetMGM

One of the Clippers' strongest qualities is their perimeter defense. They rank seventh in the NBA in opponent three-point field goal percentage, keeping teams to shooting 35.1% from beyond the arc. That has improved to 27.1% over their last three games. That could lead to Desmond Bane struggling from three-point land tonight.

Grizzlies vs. Clippers Prediction and Pick

In the latest edition of "Best NBA Bets Today", I broke down why I like the UNDER in this game:

The Grizzlies have played at the fastest pace in the NBA this season, averaging 107.2 possessions per game, but they have slowed things down recently, averaging just 101.5 possessions over their last three games. The Clippers' slow pace, ranking 25th in possessions, could also aid the Grizzlies slowing down their offense.

On top of that, this game also features two of the better defenses in the league. The Clippers rank fourth and the Grizzlies rank 11th in defensive efficiency this season.

Give me the UNDER in this Western Conference showdown.

Pick: UNDER 230.5 (-110) via BetMGM
