CLE/NJN 197
Sure the Nets could rarely get the scoreboard running. I was surprised myself to see them hit the century mark against the Celtics the other day. Anyway, thing here is that either they get blown out by the Cavs or score with them. Clevelan just lost its D and they seem to be letting teams score. It's either they hit the century mark or let the opposing team run the scores for them. The smallest game total in a Cleveland game after the break is 196 (against Orlando).
DET/NYK 205
Line IMO is over inflated. But with ball hogs like Stuckey and Rip who can light it up for the pistons playing a team that plays no Defense. Expect this game to have a run for the total. Back to back should make the Detroit D a little softer specially after losing in a close game against the Pistons. They should be hella tired putting up a fight like that. Knicks will be Knicks and just pile up the points.
WAS/MIL 193
Line's 6 to 8 points lower than I expected. It's not that the Wizards are playing D going 4 unders to 3 overs the last 7 days, it's that the Washington offense is more like a hit-or-miss type of one. Good thing the stroking Bucks hosts them tonight. Past matchup tells you both teams scores 200 minimum. 8 of their last 10 meet ups went more than 193 points. It should most likely hit the OVER again with both teams getting enough rest and no real look ahead game after this (since they play a home-and-home sched).
MIN/DAL 201.5
You just lost a 17ppg 9rpg man going to this game but line still hanged close to their 02/05/10 game. Mavs has more firepower now but Wolves seem to have only Love to really anchor the offense. UNDER looks quick to hit here but looking at a combined 35-25-0 home-road over/under record. Why won't the OVER hit? Wolves has consistently found a way to hit at least 90 points. With that and an over inflated line, won't the refs find this game an easy bait to lure in under bettors in a possibly foul-controlled game (lol. my own conspiracy).
OKC/DEN 207
KD35 scores at least 25. Melo hits 20. Westbrook gets 18-20. Billups lights up from behind the arc and get you at least 20. That's 4 players to easily give you 80 points. Throw in that Denver loves to score at home (17-13 o/u at home). 8 of the last 10 meetings went OVER but the most recent meetings this season went below 195 points. With the way the Thunders are playing now (won 6 of its last 8 games after the break) I don't see them laying egg and getting stopped by Denver's D (if there's any).
PHO/LAC 210.5
This one's a pickup game like the AllStar game. Won't be surprised if the total runs up to 240.
