The Under played in the last meeting between these two, but the Over is the right play tonight when the New Jersey Nets host the Cleveland Cavaliers.

I successfully played on the Under in Game 5 of this series. The teams combined for a mere 19 points in the fourth quarter and the final score finished well below the total. We're virtually guaranteed of seeing more points in the fourth quarter of tonight's game and I'm expecting a much higher-scoring contest.

Yes, the Nets have seen the Under go 3-0 their last three games. However, the Over is a profitable 7-1 this season when the Nets were coming off three consecutive games which fell below the total. Additionally, the Nets have seen the Over go 6-2 this season when listed as home favorites of three points or less.

Meanwhile, we find the Over at a profitable 7-1-1 when the Cavaliers are listed as road underdogs of three points or less. Consider a play on the Over.

Free Pick: Cavaliers-Nets Over 181½
