I followed the total line yesterday, and I also had a bet on the over, and Utah/Indiana are this year proably the highest scoring teams in the NBA even more than the Wizard.

However, last year Milwaukee Bucks with Giannis Antekokokoko were a high scoring team, so a combination of the Pacers and the Bucks here is not a great "recipe" for an easy Over 242.5 as some might think.

Instead,

The best way to bet on this one is to do it in live, especially if you like the over in this one, as I less like it but you can definitely expect the total line tonight to drop towards 230 or even below.

Why?

Because last night it started 242.5 and only in the 1st/2nd quarter touched the 238.5 momentarily, but most of the game last night it was over 240 .... tonight as these are two prime time games you can expect the total to drop low, before, and if you like it.

In fact, the Under 227.5 before the game starts is 4.00 so if you bet $100 on it you would win $400, so take this bet, and then in live get the Over 227.5 and this way you would make a "sure" profit as you're forecasting a drop in the total line.

Or you could bet with your hunch in live, take over 220ish or what's not, it could end under or over that number, I really can't tell - but at least you would have a good opportunity to win nicely out of this - so don't bet this one now, do it in live unless you're going to hedge against a low total.

I already took the over

I hope you win but I wouldn't take it like this, live betting is better, it has to go down, it's a prime time game

Speaking of point spreads Hawks-Magic 232 at altitude in Mexico City. I'm taking the under. This total seems too high.

I’m on Under 243

Noooo... Orlando is doing exactly the same thing Utah / Indiana are doing to other bettors, Orlando used to be an under team, it's not... only the Knicks "retained" this and even yesterday they went over.

Don't go under.

They gave up 155 to the Celtics about a week and a half ago. Never bet the under with this team.

[bjb7223]

Hornets-Wizards over 239.5

let's go

another winner again

Wizards 7-1 overs
Pacers 7-1 overs

lets continue these trends

[bjb7223]

Pacers another over, Wizards finally went under

Pacers/76ers 20 points in final 2:24 is ridiculous.

OP's idea is interesting IMO because it mixes strategies from both pregame and live betting lines:

On one side it considers two NBA teams known to have high scoring records (a pregame line strategy). And on the other side, when it comes to live betting, it suggests a type of hedge betting tecnique .

For the sake of adding to the idea (mainly to the pregame strat), I could add that paying attention to the teams schedule, specially if they are playing back-to-back nights, is useful, as it is shown to negatively impact their defense. Tired teams usually decrease their defense and focus more on offense (get lazier I guess).

Couple of resoures about NBA betting strategies where I got that idea from:
