Play the Under tonight when Jason Kidd and the New Jersey Nets host LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 4 of their NBA playoff series.

With Cleveland playing rock-ribbed defense and New Jersey having trouble finding the strings, this game could be a carbon copy of the 81-77 Cleveland victory in the opening game of the series.

The Cavaliers lead the series two games to one following their 96-85 loss to the Nets on Saturday. Over the lsat three seasons, Cleveland favors the Under by a 73-45 margin when playing a team with a winning record, and the Under is 68-46 in that span avenging a loss.

Certainly, until we see a little life in the New Jersey offense, we wouldn't consider going any other way but under the posted total.

Prediction: Total Points Scored = 170

Free Pick: Cavaliers-Nets Under 184
