Indiana on the road, has an offensive rating of 96.9 (# of points scored per 100 possessions), and Washington at home has an OR of 99.8.
Indiana has a defensive rating of 96.3 (points allowed per 100 possessions), and Washington's DR 99.5.
This makes Indiana's averaged OR 98.2, and Washington's 98.0. Combining and averaging both team's average # of possessions per game, gives Indiana 77.3 possessions, and Washington 76.9
77.3 x 98.2/100 = 75.9
+
76.9 x 98.0/100 = 75.4

151.3 average points for tonight's match-up.
So far this season, the totals between Indiana and Washington have been:

This suggests to me a pretty solid play betting the over. BOL.

It all depends on how tight the Fever defense is. Remember, this is the playoffs now, and defenses will step it up. If Washington can still score at their regular season pace then it should go over.
Good luck.

This is why I'm skeptical about Phoenix Over that playoff defense... SA knows they can't beat Phoenix playing run and gun so their going to have to play half court offense and slow it down...
