I'm seeing all kinds of love for the OVER in this game and I can't figure it out.
Philadelphia is 9th in the league in possessions per game at 101.7
Sacramento is 24th in the league in possessions per game at 98.4
This is a good measure of pace of play, and neither team really strikes me as a high pace team. In addition the coach of the Kings, Dave Joerger, has said multiple times that his team has a much slower pace of play than they used to. This would coincide with his time at Memphis as well.
Another additional stat is Team extra scoring chances per game
Philly is at (-3.7)
Sacto is at (-.2)
So this means neither team is very good at gaining extra possessions throughout the game.
Oh yeah.. and both teams are coming off a Back-to-Back.
I'm leaning heavily towards the under in this match-up. Does anyone have any thoughts that could go against this logic?
