The Play: Under 206
Analysis: Indiana is only averaging 95 points per game on the road this season, and Philadelphia is only averaging 98 points per game at home this season. Both teams have suspect defenses, but Hibbert should not yield too many easy buckets in this match up.
Cleveland Cavaliers @ Miami Heat
The Formula: 199
The Line: 190
The Play: Over 190
Analysis: Do not let these occasional low scoring Miami games scare you. They can shoot the basketball. The Cavaliers are scary good right now offensively especially when Daniel Gibson shoots well he takes a lot of pressure of LeBron. The key proponent for the over in this game though is the teams previous match up this season. They scored a combined total of 215. Over all day here.
Atlanta Hawks @ Houston Rockets
The Formula: 202
The Line: 196.5
The Play: Over 196.5
Analysis: Okay I am done taking the under against the rockets, although they have no true identity on offense their lack of defense (allowing 100.6 points per game at home) is what allows me to take the over on this one. The Hawks are a great team, and I will continue to make money off of them until the public catches on. Atlanta has just as much potential fire power on offense as Orlando, and you will see in the near future they will consistently have the 200+ over/under's on their games.
Phoenix Suns @ Utah Jazz
The Formula: 218
The Line: 220.5
The Play: Under 220.5
Analysis: The suns have hit a plateau this season, and I will continue to make money off of them until Vegas catches on. They do score a lot of their points in their games due to the amount of turnovers and lack of defense, but the problem for the over in this game is how well Utah is defensively. If Utah can dictate the pace at home in this match up with their more successful slow style of play this will be a huge victory for the under, which is what I expect.
