1st quarter team totals

[hoop guru]

Twolves team under 24.5 (2 units)
-Raptors do play good defense in home games. THe raptors will be plaing there 2nd straight game at home. Raptors are better defensively with Marion in the lineup. Twolves will score about 20 points in the first quarter.
Pistons team total over 22.5
-most recent matchup (pistons win 93-90), pistons scored 20 points in the 1st quarter and than score 25, 25 and 23 points in quarter 2-4. I like this play because the heat are worst off defensively with Oneil.
Magic team total under 25.5
-MAGIC have struggled offensively on the road since Nelson and Petrious were injured. The bulls playing better defense of late. Bulls are better off defensively with John Salmons.
Blazers +1.5 1st quarter (can play ML too because blazers will be up in the first quarter).
Suns team total under 29 (5 units)/suns team total under 58.5 (5 units)
-The hornets are a decent team defensively and they actually matchup well with the suns. The suns streak of 30 plus points in
3 straight games after the allstar break ends tonite. Suns will score in the mid 20's tonite.

I think the suns is the best play tonite on team totals. The suns played at ChARLOTTE in Jan and were ambushed 98-76. This was the lowest output for the suns this season. The suns scored 13, 24, 18, and 21 points in quarters 1-4. The suns did have Amare Stadmire for this game and he was held in check. I think the trade between the suns and bobcats made the bobcats a better defensive team.
