    What am I missing here?

    Boston at Denver.
    I was kind of shocked when I saw the total at 220.5.

    I understand J-Brown is dinged up, but all the other starters are healthy on both sides.
    I'm not overthinking this but seems to me there'll be close to 230 points scored.
    I mean there's just too much offense in this game.

    No?

    What you're missing is what the total reads.

    Take the under

    Model shows 227 as a proper line. Total is 220/220.5 =53.1% chance of going over. 53% + -110(91%) =101.4

    I think the books are going with the under trend that's been happening since All-Star break. Plus, both teams for o/u have unders winning.
    Boston - 29-32
    Denver - 24-37-1

    And then the last five it's 1-4 and 1-3, respectively.

    The totals make no sense. Any team can go over it or under by adjusting the tempo very little. Very hard to win betting NBA totals.

    I'm guessing is because they play 8 more minutes in the NBA.

    I'm taking the under because Pacific-itis is running rampant in the NBA right now.

    I've found Denver totals very tough to bet. Very frequently end up right around the number

    NBA totals are a complete waste of time unless you are a pro.

    NBA is only spots on sides. I used to bet and win in this dumb league ALOT but I got out. I will get into the playoffs though because you know why?

    SPOT

    Nice find - what did the game go off at? 223 1/2?

    Steam backed up your theory?
