The Nets have played 5-0 to the over in their last 5 whenever the number was 238.0 or less and they went under in their previous game. Those 5 contests averaged a combined 250.6 points scored per game. This recent trend certainly comes into play tonight since Brooklyn won 116-112 at Phoenix last night and the game went under the total of 231.5.  Additionally, this will be only the 3rd time this season that Brooklyn will be playing with no rest and they went over in the previous 2 occurrences with a combined 232.5 points scored per game. It’s also worth noting, teams that have played Denver with no rest this season saw 4 of those 5 contests go over the total. Furthermore, the Nets have scored 114 points or more in 8 straight games. Brooklyn has made an excellent 41.7% of their 3-point shot attempts on the road while averaging 15 makes per contest.

Colgate @ Vermont 2:00 PM ET

Game# 306517-306518

Play On: Under 133.0

Both teams play at an extremely slow tempo while ranking in the bottom 20% in that category. Neither team gets to the free throw line with regularity with Vermont ranking #331 and Colgate #358. Both are terrible when it comes to offensive rebounding, and each is very good on the defensive glass. So, likely each team will have very few chance opportunities. Each is heavily reliant on their 3 point-shooting with 48.2% of Vermont’s shots coming from 3-point range and Colgate 42.3%. Both teams have shown themselves to be more than respectable at defending the 3-point line as well. Both teams are amongst the worst in the country in forcing turnovers. Give me this game to go under the total.

Pelicans vs. Lakers 9:00 PM ET

Game# 503-504

The Razorbacks contests have averaged a combined 53 free throws per outing and that’s a huge number by college basketball standards, and equates to many points being scored with the clock stopped.

Harvard @ Massachusetts 7:00 PM ET

Game# 789-790

Play On: Over 151.0

Taking the red-hot sizable road underdog Rockets who’s won 6 in a row versus an ice-cold Clippers team that’s on a 6-game losing streak qualifies as my designated sucker play of the day. Houston has played 7 of their first 9 games at home. During their current 6-0 SU&ATS run all have been played at home. The Rockets are 0-2 SU&ATS on the road and lost by an average of 17.0 points per game. The Clippers played 5 of 6 on the road during their current winless streak. However, at home, Los Angeles has gone 3-1 SU&ATS with an average +16.0 points per game differential. This line opened at 6.0 and at the time of this writing is 7.5 or 8.0 depending on what sportsbook you are looking at. If it looks too good to be true when it pertains to sports betting, it usually is. Give me the Clippers minus points.

Celtics @ 76ers 7:40 PM ET

Game# 503-504

Play On: Over 224.5

These teams went well under the total in last week’s meeting when the number was 229.5. The sportsbooks have adjusted that total for tonight and I look for a different type of game. Being that the 76ers will be playing their 3rd game in 4 days and Boston is coming off a 3-game homestand which ended on Monday, look for the Celtics to make a concerted effort to push the offensive tempo in this contest. Furthermore, Boston has scored 114 points or more in 7 of their previous 9 games. Conversely, Philadelphia has scored 112 points or more in 9 of their 10 games this season. So the relative low scoring output by both teams last week was a rarity and there’s a high probability of that not occurring again. Give me this game to go over the total.

Mavericks @ Nuggets 8:10 PM ET

Game# 571-572

Play On: Under 226.0

Denver has played 5-0 to the under this season. The average total in those 5 contests was 225.1 and there was just a combined 214.4 points scored per game. Those 5 contests averaged only a combined 35 free throw attempts per game and that includes only 14 per contest by Denver. Both numbers are extremely low by NBA standards. Dallas is a very good 3-point shooting team. As a matter of fact, 42.9% of the Mavericks made field goals have come from 3-point territory so far. However, Denver has held their 5 opponents this season to an atrocious 29.6% shooting from beyond the 3-point arc. Give me this game to go under the total.

Warriors @ Thunder 8:10 PM ET

Game# 569-570

Play On: Under 226.5

During the daily quest to be a successful sports bettor it requires us to make the occasional uncomfortable bet. This qualifies as one of those situations for me. Nevertheless, Golden State has played 3-0 to the under this season whenever the number was 225.0 or greater and only a combined 217.0 points were scored per game. The Warriors are a very underrated defensive team and have allowed 108 points or fewer during 4 of their 5 games this season. As a matter of fact, throughout their previous 3 contests, Golden State allowed 99.3 points per game and held opponents to 39.9% shooting. Oklahoma City has also played 3-0 to the under this season when the number was 225.0 or greater and there was a combined average of only 217.3 points scored per game. Give me this game to go under the total.

Game# 571-572

Play On: Over 225.0

Washington is allowing 126.2 points per game while allowing opponents to shoot 49.0% and make 38.3% of their 3-point shot attempts. That’s a major reason why they’re off to a poor 1-3 start to the season. Additionally, 3 of those 4 contests went over the total with a combined average of 241.4 points scored per game. Miami has played 3-2 to the under thus far. The Heat did go under in their previous game and have tet to go under in back-to-back games. Miami has played 2-0 to the over following an under this season with combined points scored of 230 and 236 during those contests. Give me this game to go over the total.

This series has seen totals decrease in each game. It started in Game 1 at 219.5 and 4 games later it’s now 209.5. That’s with no significant injuries on either side prompting those moves. Denver has shot the ball extremely well through the first 4 games while making 50.8% of their field goal attempts. Despite scoring less than 100 points in 5 of their last 8 games, the Heat have still shot a respectable 36.6% from 3-points territory and averaged 12.3 makes per game in these NBA Finals. Neither team has been to the free throw line with any regularity in the first 4 games of the series. However, each has been very efficient when getting there with Denver converting on 81.1% of their attempts and Miami is at 85.2%.

It speaks volumes to me when the sportsbooks make this big of an adjustment to a Game 7 total when the average number in the first 6 games was 213.8.

NBA Playoffs Game 7 home teams have played 41-24 (63%) to the under since 2003. Since 2019, that NBA Game 7 home teams off a Game 6 away win have played 12-3 (80%) to the under and there was a combined 197.4 points scored per game.  Furthermore, since 2014, NBA Game 7 home teams coming off a Game 6 away win in which they allowed 100 points or more have played 5-0 to the under with an average combined score of just 186.0 points scored per contest.

That contest went under the total of 155.0 by just 4.0 points despite both teams shooting less than 40%. It must be noted, there was a combined 57 free throw attempts in that game which would be high by NBA standards let alone at the NCAA level where games are 8 minutes less.

Akron @ Kent State 6:00 PM ET

Game# 853-854

Play On: Under 134.0 (5*)

These teams met earlier this season and Akron won 67-55 in a game that easily went under the totals of 133.0.

Conversely, Youngstown State is coming off a 93-79 win at IUPUI in their previous contest. The Penguins have played following a conference win by 10 or more and there was a combined 163.0 points scored per game.

These are the top 2 three-point shooting teams in Horizon League action. As a matter of fact, Detroit is #7 nationally in 3-point shooting percentage and Youngstown is a more than respectable #22 in that category. Neither team gets to the free throw line a ton because they’re perimeter-based offenses, but when they get there, each has been extremely efficient.

According to KenPom, Detroit is one of the worst defensive teams in the country. Despite an impressive 23-8 season record, Youngstown State is a far cry from a good defensive team ranking #267 in that category. They’re heavily reliant on their offensive prowess to carry the load.

Play On: Over 149.0 (10*)

Earlier this season there would be no possible chance I would bet a UCF game to go over a number that neared or surpassed 150.0. Nevertheless, much has changed between then and now. These teams played a 2-overtime thriller earlier this season which saw UCF pull out a 107-104 win.

Not to mention, combining to go 24-51 (47.1%) on 3-point shot attempts. I am not predicting those gaudy numbers will repeat themselves in this one, but I do think will see a similar volume of attempts in each category. By the way, these teams have now gone over the total in each of the last 6 times they’ve met.

Texas has played 11-3 to the over in their last 14 games. The Longhorns are coming off a 76-71 home win versus Baylor and that contest barely went under the total of 148.5.

SMU has played 5-0 to the over in their last 5 whenever the total was 145.5 or greater and there was a combined 162.4 points scored per game. SMU has allowed 80 points or more in 9 of their 22 games this season.
