Las Vegas - You can't teach size. These two Pac-12 rivals met in Los Angeles back in February, and USC crushed Oregon, 72-58. Looked at the box score of that game, and the Trojans absolutely WRECKED the Ducks on the glass, with a GINORMOUS 39-25 advantage.

Vegas has not been as prolific scoring 5, 5, 2, 5, 4, 1 and 5 in their last seven. That works out to an average of a 3.8 goals per.

Las Vegas - Yesterday we talked about Brooklyn being thinner than Olive Oyl in the Popeye comics. The same metrics apply tonight with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Landry Shamet all watching in street clothes. Now you can add James Harden. The Beard is listed as questionable with a neck issue, and if he's out, the Nets go from the Big Three to the little, teeny, tiny eight.
