Can you guess what team has had the highest percentage of OVERS this season without peaking below? The Suns? NOPE! Dallas? Not even close! The answer my friends is those run and gun.....Minnesota Timberwolves? Ok their games are averaging only a combined 193.6 points per game, but that is still higher than the oddsmakers' projections so far, as the OVER is 27-17, 61.4% in all Minnesota games so far this year. Phoenix is actually in the middle of the pack with a nondescript 23-22 record for the OVER despite its games averaging 214.4 points, as the powers that be have done an excellent job of inflating Suns totals. Dallas actually has a 25-21 UNDER record this season, thanks to an improved Mavs defense. Here are the full Standings:

Thanks for posting this info LT.

In all honesty, I thought the #2 ranked team was actually the #1 ranked.

Given time to think about it I probably would have picked Memphis too. I don't think a lot of people expected their high totals this season. I certainly didn't.

Memphis may very well top the list come season's end. Remember that they did not start goin full speed until after the coaching change.
