Toronto/NYK OVER 216.5

[zogdog]

Anyone else loving this play?

New York is 26th in defensive efficiency, Toronto is last in the league in defensive efficiency. Toronto 6th in offensive efficiency, New York 15th.

New York is 8th in pace, Toronto 13th.

In case anyone doesn't know what these mean... offensive efficiency is points scored per 100 possessions, defensive efficiency is points allowed per 100 possessions. Pace is number of possessions. No defense + pretty good offense + quick pace (lots of possessions) seems like a damn high scoring game to me.

Looks good on paper but the reality points to a different thing. Knicks may not top the century mark here as they may score very few points in one of the quarters - either the 2Q or the 4Q. On their part, Toronto aren't likely to go over 110.
