Game: Los Angeles Lakers at Phoenix (10:35 PM Eastern)
Pick: First Half UNDER 109 -110 5 units
Phoenix scored 106 in their opener last night but the game they played in came in way under the posted total of 224 (missed it by 19 points!). They now face a second straight game with a stratospheric total. The first half-total is set quite high than what would normally be dictated by the game total (109 vs. 217). With this Phoenix offense, and Kobe Bryant on the other side, the total is inflated. These teams know each other and we expect enough defense, especially in the first half, to keep this one UNDER. Seven of the last eleven games played in this series here in Phoenix have gone UNDER the first half total. Under Jackson, the Lakers are 57-41 UNDER to the first half total in games with a total posted over 100. Under D'Antoni, the Suns are 47-32 to the UNDER in the first half when at home with a total at 106 or higher. Finally, November games featuring a first half total higher than 105 have gone UNDER 72% of the time over the past decade!
