#1) Mavs 76ers OVER 192.5
My method of capping this one has an estimated o/u of 198 so the o192.5 looks good here. 76ers are averaging 106.3 over their last few games and the Mavs defense leaves something to be desired. The line is probably low due to the fact that there was only 157 points scored in their meeting in Philly last year, but all things considered this single data point is pretty meaningless.
#2) Raptors Rockets UNDER 204
My line comes in at a paltry 197 for these two, greatly favoring the u204. I expect a win in blowout fashion for the Rockets, repeating their most recent performance and playing with high emotions for the coach. The team will play hard on both sides of the ball and shut down the Raptors on offense.
LEAN: Pacers Lakers UNDER 195
My capped line comes in at 189.5, favoring the u195 here, however I'd grade it just a lean until we see this D Antoni offense in full force. An additional 3-5 possessions over my capped line is certainly possible in the new uptempo system.
