NBA Road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 210 (OKLAHOMA CITY) - after 8 or more consecutive losses, a bad team, winning 25% to 40% of their games on the season are 37-11 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 77% conversion rate for bettors.

Play on the UNDER 

These teams overall numbers might point to a lower scoring type of affair, but from a matchup perspective my projections estimate this total to be closer to 216 giving us a full possesion plus of value for an over wager. 

Bickerstaff is 12-2 OVER  in road games after 2 straight losses by 10 points or more in all games he has coached with a combined average of 219 ppg scored. 

Pistons and Cavaliers have gone over in their L/9 meetings with a combined average of  (227.8 ppg going on the board. )

NBA Road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 210 (CLEVELAND) - after 2 straight games - allowing a shooting pct. of 50% or higher against opponent after 2 straight games making 9 or more 3 point shots are 114-70  OVER L/5 seasons for a 62% conversion rate.

Play OVER

Atlanta runs a fairly methodical offense despite of their reputation,  ranking 24th in the NBA in pace  and only rank 14th in offence. Meanwhile, Indiana loves to run and gun with wreck-less abandon, but have still seen the  Under  get notched in their  last 5 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Which tells me they play differently against these type of teams, and or are forced into slowing down vs sides that know taking the Pacers flow away will be advantageous. Im betting this stronger than expected Hawks side will find a way to slow this game down to a pace that is manageable. This Im betting will result in a lower scoring game than the linesmakers are estimating.  INDIANA is 22-10 UNDER  in road games versus good shooting teams - making 46% or more  of their shots - 2nd half of the season over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 213.7 ppg scored.

NBAHome teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (ATLANTA) - revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points, winning between 51% and 60% of their games on the season are 41-14 UNDER  L/24 seasons for a 75% conversion rate for bettors. 

Play UNDER

This totals projection to the over is based on head to head matchup stats as compared to current defensive postures and the systems and form being implemented by both sides. Over is 4-0 in Spurs last 4 road games. Over is 6-0 in Suns last 6 games playing on 1 days rest. Over is 6-1 in Suns last 7 games as a home favorite.

Play OVER

When these teams played back on March 4th they combined to put 223 points on the board in a Bucks 112 -111 win vs the Grizzlies. My projections in rematch estimate a combined score that is in the 233 range which gives us a more than 1 possession advantage. After playing last night the Grizzlies will not have the legs to run with the explosive Bucks, so instead I look for a concerted effort in transition that will slow this game down enough for a more muted score than many might expect. 

It must be noted that the Bucks rank 7th in defensive rating and the Grizzlies 8th.: Defensive Rating (available since the 1973-74 season in the NBA); for players and teams it is points allowed per 100 possessions)

These two teams according to my projections will take part in a fairly physical affair that will see the combined score stay under this total.

Play on the UNDER

My projections estimate that the Grizzlies will score at least 115 +points here tonight while the Bulls will put up 109+ points , which gives us a full possession value on this total to the over.

Play OVER

Oklahoma State has averaged less than 100 points per game in their L/6 overall, and Im betting their offensive conversion rate will continue vs the Warriors tonight in a game I have pegged to stay on the low side of the number, based on the Thunders horrendous 43% FG conversion rate in their L/5 tilts. Five of the L/6 meetings in this series have remained on the low side of the total. 

GOLDEN STATE is 9-0 UNDER  after covering 3 of their last 4 against the spread this season with a combined average of 210.4 ppg scored.

The Warriors are 0-12 UNDER L/12  on the road after Stephen Curry had the highest plus/minus on the team last game going under by more than 16.5 ppg.

Play UNDER

My own projections estimate a total that should be closer to 218. Thus giving us value with an under wager. We have a full possession plus to work with this spot play. 

OKLAHOMA CITY is 20-8 UNDER in road games versus teams who average 7 or less steals/game on the season over the last 3 seasons. OKLAHOMA CITY is 32-20 UNDER (+10.0 Units) when the total is 220 to 229.5 over the last 2 seasons.

The Clippers rank 28th in pace in the NBA and own the 6th best ppg defense and 2nd ranked defensive rating and have allowed an average of 107 ppg on the road. Im betting the Clippers do what they do best and control the pace of this tilt and defensively own a side that is going to be in a regression mode tonight after taking part in a 132-125 uptempo affair last time out.  This Im betting directly effects the the total combined score to the under here.   INDIANA is 18-4 UNDER  after scoring 130 points or more  with an average of 201.4 ppg scored.

 LA CLIPPERS are 18-8 UNDER when the line is +3 to -3 over the last 2 seasons with the combined average score of 218.9 ppg scored.

The Jazz average just under 120 ppg at home this season, and against a lower tier defensive side like the Wizards Im betting on them putting 5 to 10 more points on that average tonight, while the Wizards Im betting will be good for 110+ points in a chasing environment. When these teams played back on March 18th the Wizards  took a 131-122 affair, and more fireworks should be considered highly likely again in the rematch as Utah will have little empathy in melt up type of revenge match.WASHINGTON is 15-3 OVER  as an underdog of 10 or more points over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 247.3 ppg scored.WASHINGTON is 8-0 OVER versus very good teams - outscoring their opponents by 6+ points/game this season with a combined average of 250.7 ppg going on the board.WASHINGTON is 9-0 OVER (+9.0 Units) when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct.  70%) - 2nd half of the season over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 258.3 ppg scored.

The Spurs D has been trashed on a very consistent basis of late, allowing 134, 132, 134, 139, 125, 121 points in a 10 game span, and against this kind of opponent my estimates project Dallas to score in excess of 115+ points while the Spurs project to score 109+ points. Note: DALLAS is 20-4 OVER  where both teams score 105 or more points in a game this season with a combined average of 238 ppg going on the board.

Afternoon basketball can start a little slower then night time hoops, and today Im betting on an affair that is grinding in nature and that combines to stay under the offered totals number.

Charlotte plays a style conducive to slowing  down teams like Atlanta. This Im betting will see this afternoon tilt garner  alot less scoring than some may be  anticipated. 

CHARLOTTE is 20-9 UNDER   in home games versus explosive offensive teams - scoring 110+ points/game over the last 2 seasons.

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 200 (ATLANTA) - tired team - playing 8 or more games in 14 days, in a game involving two marginal winning teams (51% to 60%) are 75-39 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 66% conversion rate for bettors.

Oklahoma City's D, has been shredded on a consistent basis of late, allowing an average of 129.4 ppg in their L/5 trips to the hardwood. With that said, Im expecting this trend to continue which projects into what Im betting will be a combined score that eclipses this offered totals number.

Denver owns the 9th ranked ppg D in the NBA behind the 29th ranked pace, while, San Antonio ranks 15th in pce in 22nd in offense  ppg. Considering both sides condensed exhausting schedule, and their other pertinent  numbers we have a projected  tilt that very much looks like a combined score that fails to eclipse this number is a likely scenario.

The Phoenix suns played and emotional game that ended in a OT win vs Utah last night, and now on tired legs and in an emotional letdown state are susceptible to a very slow start and a down offensive performance against a defense that has alot of stopping power as is evident by ranking 6th in ppg allowed behind the 27th ranked pace. Advantage under. 

PHOENIX is 18-8 UNDER  in a road game where the total is 220 to 229.5 over the last 2 seasons.

Utah enters this game off an exhausting game last night vs the Suns, losing in OT. Now in an emotional letdown spot I expect the Jazz to not be as aggressive offensive  as usual which Im betting results in a game that goes under the set total.  NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (PORTLAND) - well rested team - playing only their 2nd game in 5 days, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%) are 26-4 OVER L/5 seasons for a 88% conversion rate.

This is the Bucks 5th straight road game and now on tired legs I expect a slower pace from them here and a more defensive minded stance, as they allowed 128 points last time out in a back and forth 129-128 win.

The Sixers ranks 7th in ppg allowed while the Celtics rank 10th behind the 21st ranked pace. Both sides are considered eastern conference contenders and rivals and tonight Im betting on a physical affair, as both jockey for play off seeding possibilities and domination from a head to head standpoint.

Boston has gone under in 5 straight. Philadelphia have stayed under in 8 of their L/11 overall. 

BOSTON is 30-11 UNDER L/41 after a huge blowout win by 30 or more with the average combined score of 193 ppg scored. (Beat Charlotte 116-86 last time out) Regression is expected.

The Suns, who will visit the Houston Rockets on Monday, closed Sunday ranked seventh in offensive rating (115.3) and tonight Im betting on more offensive explosiveness, that will result in a wide open affair that eclipses this number. 

The Rockets are 21-0-1 OVER  with no rest after a loss in which they led after the third quarter which was the case last time out. 

NBA Road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 210 (PHOENIX) - hot team - having won 6 or 7 of their last 8 games, a good team (60% to 75%) playing a bad team (25% to 40%) are 61-25 OVER L/5 seasons for a 71% conversion rate for bettors.

Play OVER

The Atlanta Hawks return home and are now on tired legs after  their season-long eight-game road trip and now this  Sunday play to host the Golden State Warriors.Both sides are banged up as the condensed schedule takes its toll on teams. If Warriors Seth curry plays he will be less than 100% with a sore tailbone as will Atlantas Trae Young who has knee issues. With that said, Im betting on a muted type tilt that will be slower than might be expected, which will translate into a lower scoring affair than the lines-makers  estimates. The last time these teams played the Hawks pounded the Warriors by a DD deficit and now I expect the Warriors to be more vigilant defensively.Note: Kerr is 35-18 UNDER  in road games revenging a same season loss vs opponent as the coach of GOLDEN STATE with a combined average of 216.5 ppg scored.GOLDEN STATE is 34-21 UNDER when the total is 220 to 229.5 over the last 2 seasons. GOLDEN STATE is 18-9 UNDER  versus good 3 point shooting teams - making 36% or more of their attempts this season with a combined average of 222.9 ppg scored.

Play UNDER 

The Lakers modus operandi has been a top tier brand of  defense , as is evident by ranking 2nd in the league in ppg allowed, behind what is now a short handed offense that ranks 22nd in ppg scored this season. The Lakers have gone under in 9 of their L/10 games. Competing here against the explosive Clippers Im betting will see the Lakers be even more attentive in transition which will dictate a slower pace (ranked 15th in the league) than is usually the case and this this will translate into a combined score that does not eclipse this offered number. 

LA LAKERS are 16-2 UNDER  when playing against a team with a winning record this season with a combined average of 210.7 ppg. LA LAKERS are 20-4 UNDER  versus good 3 point shooting teams - making 36% or more  of their attempts this season for a combined average of 211.4 ppg scored. LA LAKERS are 16-3 UNDER   versus very good shooting teams - making 48% or more of their shots over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 215 ppg. LA LAKERS are 23-8 UNDER  versus explosive offensive teams - scoring 110+ points/game this season with a combined average of 215.1 ppg scored. LA LAKERS are 10-2 UNDER versus good teams - outscoring their opponents by 3+ points/game this season with a combined average of 212.7 ppg.

Cleveland has been held under 100 points in each of its past four games, but all the more need to open up, which will effect their defensive numbers. Miami popped 116 points on the board last time out, and are more than capable of putting points on the board here.

These teams have plenty of offensive  fire power, but they both still possess some physical defensive attributes, and Im betting those stopping  qualities  will shine in this tilt between top tier sides.

The Raptors in my opinion are in tank mode and playing with little or no motivation, and their offence has proven futile for a quite a while now. The Raptors are 0-12 UNDER L/12  at home off a loss in which they shot under 40% from the field, which was the case last time out. Torontos opponent Golden State, is 20-9 UNDER when playing against a bad team (Win Pct. 25% to 40%) over the last 2 seasons . This game has sleeper written all over it, that will translate to a lower scoring affair. 

Play on the UNDER 

New Orleans enters this game off a 115-109 win vs Boston on the road last time out. But now on in a letdown spot could start slowly, which could see their improving defensive game lapse early giving us the room for a faster pace game as this tilt progresses giving an edge for this total to go  over the offered number. 

NEW ORLEANS is 12-0 OVER  in home games off an upset win as an underdog over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 243.5 ppg scored.Van Gundy is 11-1 OVER   in home games versus up-tempo teams averaging 88 or more shots/game as the coach of NEW ORLEANS with a combined average of 236.9 ppg scored.

Play OVER 

The Heat rank 27th in offensive output per game in the league and rank 3rd in defense ppg in the league behind a grinding pace that ranks 28th in the NBA. Seth Curry and company may want to open up but with the Heat  dictating the pace of their games. Im betting this will be a sloshy affair that runs much slower than even this totals number indicates. GOLDEN STATE is 9-1 UNDER  on the road when the line is +3 to -3 over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 207. 8 ppg scored. MIAMI is 12-4 UNDER  when playing against a marginal losing team (Win Pct. 40% to 49%) this season with a combined average of 205.1 ppg going on the board. 

The Warriors are 0-13-1 UNDER by more than 20 points a game as a dog with rest off a game as a dog in which they had less than 10% of their points from free throws with none of the game sin this 14 game set going over this offered number. 

Play UNDER

The Sixers are off a loss last time out which was their 2nd straight and now i expect a more aggressive offensive effort after producing just 95 points last time out whihc will help this combined score get eclipsed . The Seventysixers are 11-0 OVER L/12 as a favorite coming off a loss as a road dog with a combined average of 235.9 ppg scored. 

NBA road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 210 (PHILADELPHIA) - good shooting team - shooting 46% or better on the season against opponent after a game where a team made 35% of their shots or worse are 22-7 OVER L/5 seasons for a 76% conversion rate. 

Play OVER 

Sacramento took out the Spurs 132-115  when they played a couple of days ago, and now Im betting the Spurs paying alot more attention to defence especially in transition which should slow this game down a bit. Which I am betting helps keep this combined score on the low side of the total.  SAN ANTONIO is 9-1 UNDER  revenging a same season loss vs opponent this season with a combined average of 213.4 ppg scored.

SAN ANTONIO is 32-17 UNDER in home games versus good shooting teams - making 46% or more  of their shots over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 218.8 ppg scored.

NBA  teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (SACRAMENTO) - good 3PT shooting team (36.5% or better ) against an average 3PT shooting team (33-36.5%) after 42+ games, hot shooting team - 2 straight games making 50%  or more of their shots are 27-3 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 90% conversion rate for bettors.

Play UNDER

Brooklyn smashed Houston 132-114 on March 3rd and now knowing they cannot run with this type of juggernaut they will hunker down and try to turn this game into a physical affair , which will translate into a lower scoring game.

HOUSTON is 14-4 UNDER  versus good 3 point shooting teams - making 36%  or more  of their attempts - 2nd half of the season over the last 2 seasons.

HOUSTON is 21-8 UNDER  revenging a home loss vs opponent over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 220.2 ppg scored. HOUSTON is 21-8 UNDER   revenging a home loss vs opponent over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 212.4 ppg scored.

Play UNDER

For 9 straight games the Sixers did not allow more than 109 points to opposing offenses, and than last time out allowed 122 points. Im now betting on them coming back and paying special attention to defense especially in  transition, which Im betting helps keep this tilt on the low side of the total. Note : Their opponent Denver, ranks 29th in pace, so with the pressure Im betting the Sixers bring , this game will be alot slower than anticipated by the lines-makers.Under is 5-1-1 in 76ers last 7 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

NBA Road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 220 (PHILADELPHIA) - after a road game where both teams score 100 or more points, a good team (60% to 75%) playing a team with a winning record are 88-44 L/24 seasons for a 66% conversion rate for bettors.

Play UNDER

This has been a grueling season for NBA teams, as they take part in a condensed league schedule. The Bucks are now playing their 3rd game in 4 days and are pretty banged up , despite of most of their starters expected to play tonight and Im betting they will not want to take part in anything that resembles a run and gun affair, much like their meeting  in late Feb that saw the Clippers lose to the Bucks by a 105-100 score. Im once again betting on defence, and special attention paid to transitional ball to  help keep this combined score on the low side of the total. 

MILWAUKEE is 21-8 UNDER L/29 versus very good shooting teams - making 48% or better of their shots - 2nd half of the season with a combined average of 190.6 ppg. MILWAUKEE is 31-17 UNDER  when playing their 3rd game in 4 days over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 219.6 ppg scored.

LA CLIPPERS are 17-7 UNDER  when the line is +3 to -3 over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 218.2 ppg going on the board. 

NBA  teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (LA CLIPPERS) - after 1 or more consecutive wins, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%) are 39-8 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 83% conversion rate. 

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (MILWAUKEE) - after having won 4 or 5 of their last 6 games, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%) are 35-8 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 82% conversion rate. 

Dallas has been playing. alot better D of late and have seen 6 of their L/8 games as result stay under the total. Meanwhile, Oklahoma City have gone under in 4 of their L/6 mostly because of lack of offence that ranks 27th in the league, and a stricter defensive methodology. Im betting on more of the same action here when these teams meet and a combined score that remains on the low side of the total. 

The Mavericks are 0-16 UNDER L/16 as a road favorite when the line is at least eight points lower than their last game going under by more than 19 ppg.  Under is 6-0 in Mavericks last 6 games following a straight up loss.

Under is 12-4 in Mavericks last 16 overall.Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

Denver despite of ranking 4th in ppg scored in the league also ranks 29th in pace. Thanks to a high shooting percentage, which Im betting regresses the Nuggets are scoring at a lower rate than their current output should be expected going forward, at least according to my own projections. With Van Gundy finally getting his Pelicans to pay more attention to defence of late,  allowing 101, 108, 111, and 86 in 4 of their L/5 we have a situation that actually bodes well for a score that does not eclipse this total. 

DENVER is 94-64 UNDER  in road games against Southwest division opponents with a combined average of 204.5 ppg scored in that 158 game sample size. 

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (DENVER) - a good team (+3 to +7 PPG diff.) against an average team (+/- 3 PPG diff.) after 42+ games, after allowing 115 points or more are 30-5 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 86% conversion rate for bettors.

Play UNDER

The Nets are playing their 5th game in 7 days and are also playing on back to back nights which Im betting has them on tired legs and in no way ready to run and gun here in the high altitudes of  Salt Lake City tonight. With this being the Jazz first home game after a 5 game road trip they may also be disorientated and take time to get use to home cooking which in conjunction with the Nets exhaustion should see a combine score that remains on the low side of the offered number. 

UTAH is 13-3 UNDER  in home games after a blowout win by 20 points or more over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 213.2 ppg scored.

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (Brooklyn/UTAH) - off a road win, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%) are 29-4 UNDER  L/24 seasons for a 88% conversion rate for bettors.

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (BROOKLYN) - after having won 4 or 5 of their last 6 games, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%) ARE 35-8 UNDER L/24 SEASONS for a 82% conversion rate for bettors.

Play UNDER

The Trail Blazers were a shaky 9 of 41 from 3-point range and the trio of Damian Lillard (seven attempts), CJ McCollum (five) and Carmelo Anthony (four) never saw one go through the net in their ugly DD loss Sunday to Dallas  and will now be ready to play much better defence in redemption mode.  The Blazers also on tired legs will want to slow down their speed orientated opponent which Im betting will lead to a lower scoring tilt than the linesmakers expect . QUOTE: "We really depend on our offense and making 3s and any time me, CJ and Melo go 0-for-16 from three, we're not going to have much of a chance," Lillard said;  eND QUOTE: 

BROOKLYN is 36-18 L/54 UNDER after 3 straight games - allowing a shooting pct. of 47% or higher.  Under is 5-2 in Nets last 7 games as an underdog.

The Pelicans enter this game ranked 5th in ppg offence in the league and 25th in ppg allowed defence. \Tonight New Orleans will be out looking to take down a Lakers side playing without James and Davis, and will have no mercy in the process which Im betting leads us into a higher scoring tilt that the public and linesmkaers might expect. NEW ORLEANS is 17-4 OVER   in home games this season with a combined average of 232.4 ppg scored. 

NEW ORLEANS is 11-0 OVER  in home games off an upset win as an underdog over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 243.8 ppg scored. NEW ORLEANS is 9-0 OVER  in home games after a game where they covered the spread this season with a combined average of 242.1 ppg scored.

The Pacers shot just 38.8% yesterday and looked to be on tired legs in a grinding  109-106 OT win vs the Heat. Now playing on back to back days, Indiana could find themselves running on less than a full tank and susceptible to a down offensive effort vs the red hot Bucks . Note: The Pacers are 0-11 UNDER L/11 on the road after they shot under 40% from the field.Under is 9-3 in Pacers last 12 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.Under is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings.Under is 5-2 in Bucks last 7 vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

Play on the UNDER

Early afternoon starts can some time see teams starting slowly and playing with less energy . After Miami allowed 137 points in a DD loss to the Pacers in the first game of this weekend series, you can bet the Heat will be ready to pay attention to defense in transition and for the Pacers to regress offensively after shooting 58.4 % from the field and 55.6% from the land of the trey.The Heat are 0-12-1 UNDER  at home after their opponent shot 50% or better from beyond the arc last game with a combined average of 202 ppg.

INDIANA is 15-4 UNDER after scoring 130 points or more.

NBA team (MIAMI) - after being beaten by the spread by more than 24 points in their previous game against opponent after going over the total by more than 24 points in their previous game are 25-6 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 81% conversion rate for bettors.

Play UNDER

The Lakers key to their successes and failures are based on a top tier brand of  defensive basketball that can easily take teams like the Hawks out of their offensive flow. The Lakers rank 6th in NBA in ppg allowed and are ranked 24th in pace in the league. Considering the Hawks have win 6 straight, you can bet the Lakers will be ready to play . It must also be noted that the Hawks own the 11th best ppg defense in the NBA and rank 22nd in pace, which is. a divergence to previous recent campaigns. With this being an afternoon game, Im also expecting energy levels to be somewhat subdued which Im betting will influence total input in this spot and keep the combined score below this posted total offering.  Four of the L/5 meetings in this series have stayed under the total.

Under is 6-1 in Hawks last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600

LA LAKERS are 11-1 UNDER  in home games when playing against a marginal winning team (Win Pct. 51% to 60%) over the last 3 seasons with the average combined score clicking in at. 215.7 ppg .LA LAKERS are 15-3 UNDER versus good rebounding teams - outrebounding opponents by 3+ per game over the last 2 seasons with the average combined score clicking in at 209.5 ppg.LA LAKERS are 13-3 UNDER as a home favorite of 6 points or less over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 213 ppg scored.

Brooklyn is 14-1 in its past 15 games and has won a franchise-record eight straight road games and six straight overall and are   are 12-0 OVER L/12  as a road favorite eclipsing  the the total  by more than 19 ppg.  Im betting on them continuing to run and gun in this spot vs a Orlando side on tired legs after playing last night . I know the Magic scored just 93 points last night in a one point loss to the Knicks, but now with very little left to lose after suffering their 9th straight ,loss Im betting we see a fairly wide open affair, as the Magic go into tank mode. Note: Orlando is also getting healthier and are expected to have Fournier , back in the lineup. 

BROOKLYN is 8-1 OVER  in road games versus struggling  defensive teams - allowing 110+ points/game this season with a combined average of 251.7 ppg scored.BROOKLYN is 9-1 OVER in road games when playing against a team with a losing record this season with a combined average of 248.7 ppg scored.BROOKLYN is 15-2 OVER  versus up-tempo teams averaging 88 or more shots/game this season with a combined average of 241.1 ppg scored.

Toronto has done well against the Jazz recently winning 4 straight meetings and must than be noted that the Jazz are 0-12-2 UNDER as a road favorite when they lost at least their last two meetings against this opponent.TORONTO is 24-10 UNDER  versus good teams - outscoring their opponents by 3+ points/game over the last 2 seasons with the average score fo those tilts ringing in at 212.7 ppg. My projections also estimate a total closer to 227 which is more than a full possession edge. 

Play on the UNDER 

Atlanta has won 7 straight with alot of that success attributed to much better defensive performances, allowing  107, 82, 106 scores in their L/3 efforts  . Im betting on the Hawks D to continue to improve vs a Oklahoma City side, that ranks 26th in ppg offence in the league. With that said, Im betting on this combined score failing to eclipse the total.

The Thunder are 0-12 UNDER L/12 off a game as a dog in which they had more turnovers than assists. OKLAHOMA CITY is 30-18 UNDER  when the total is 220 to 229.5 over the last 2 seasons.OKLAHOMA CITY is 19-7 UNDER L/26 in road games versus teams who average 7 or less steals/game on the season over the last 3 seasons.

These two top tier teams will test each other here this evening a what could be a dress rehearsal for a play off matchup. With that said, Im betting a on hard fought physical affair that stays on the low side of the number.

 Denver behind the 29th ranked pace and 8th best ppg defense in the league, Im betting will be primed to control the flow of this game as they play on back to back nights vs a Indiana team that ranks 15th in ppg offense and 12th in defensive efficiency. With that said, Im betting on a current trend that has seen  the  Under cash  4- straight times in the  Nuggets last 4 games as a home favorite. NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 220 (INDIANA) - revenging a home loss vs opponent of 10 points or more, off a win by 10 points or more as an underdog are 26-7 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 79% conversion rate for bettors.

These teams play opposite styles of hoops. NY Knicks are a defense first side, and Brooklyn is a run and gun side. But from my line projection estimates I feel the number should be closer to 220 this giving us a full possession advantage.

The Clippers rank 8th in the league in ppg allowed and 24th in pace, and the key to their successes and failures is predicated on playing. solid defense. Meanwhile, the Pelicans HC  Van Gundys philosophy has always been based on having a solid defensive system, something he preaches constantly.

Meanwhile, Denver, who ranked 8th in the league in ppg against, and are 28th in pace has also played strong D, and  allowed 102 ppg in their L/5 games overall.

Brooklyn really brought the hammer down on the Celtics in their first meeting winning by a 123-95 count, and now the well rested Celtics will be out ready to play a tough two way game to slow down their run and gun and opponent and this Im betting leads to a combined score that fails to eclipse this total.

The key to the Lakers successes and failures are based around their defence, which ranks 2nd in ppg in the league. Nothing will change today, vs a Golden State team that wants to run , as they control the speed here behind the 17th ranked pace, in a tilt I have projected to stay on the low side of the number.

LA LAKERS are 14-5 UNDER  when the total is greater than or equal to 220 this season.

LA LAKERS are 10-1 UNDER when playing against a team with a winning record this season with a combined average of 210.3 ppg scored. LA LAKERS are 12-2 UNDER  versus good 3 point shooting teams - making 36% or more  of their attempts this season with a combined average of 209.9 ppg scored. LA LAKERS are 16-4 UNDER  vs. horrible rebounding teams - outrebounded by opponents by 5+/game over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 216.7 ppg. 

NBA Home teams where the total is greater than or equal to 210 (LA LAKERS) - after going under the total by more than 24 points in their previous game, a good team (60% to 75%) playing a team with a winning record are 42-15 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 74% conversion rate.

Play on the UNDER 

Atlanta enters this game having gone over in 10 of the L/11 tilts  and Im betting they're usual run and gun speed will continue into this game behind the 9th ranked offensive efficiency. Meanwhile, Miami after being dormant and unhealthy earlier in the season, have now seen 5 of their L/7 go over the total behind a offense that has generated 112 plus ppg, in their L/5 . In division games the Heat, have seen a combined average of 228.4 ppg scored. Everything points to this being a vulnerable total, for a over wager to cash.Over is 6-0 in Hawks last 6 games following a ATS loss.Over is 7-0 in Hawks last 7 games following a straight up loss. Over is 4-0 in Hawks last 4 games as a road underdog.

Play OVER 

Im betting on these two top tier teams taking part in a play off style game with alot of physicality. This will help keep this score on the low side of the number. Under is 15-7 in Bucks last 22 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. LA CLIPPERS are 15-2 UNDER  in road games when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 70%) over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 213.9 ppg scored.

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (LA CLIPPERS) - off a road win, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%) are 27-4 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 87% conversion rate. 

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (LA CLIPPERS) - after 1 or more consecutive wins, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%) are 35-8 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 81% conversion rate.

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (MILWAUKEE) - well rested team - playing only their 2nd game in 5 days, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%) are 24-4 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 86% conversion rate. 

Play UNDER

Both these teams offences are clicking on all cylinders entering this tilt. The Suns have averaged 127.4 ppg in their L/5 trips to the court, while, the Bulls have scored 120, 122 and 133 in their L/3 overall and rank 5th in ppg on offence this season, and rank 5th in pace. When projecting a combined score my number is closer to 231 which gives us a full possession edge according to calculations to the over.

The Suns have gone over in 8 of their L/9. 

PHOENIX is 11-1 OVER  versus good 3 point shooting teams - making 36% or more  of their attempts this season with a combined average of 235.3 ppg. 

NBA Home teams where the total is 220 to 229.5 (CHICAGO) - poor defensive team - shooting pct defense of 46% or more  on the season against opponent hot shooting team - 2 straight games making 50% or more of their shots are 41-15 OVER L/5 seasons for a 73% conversion rate for bettors.

Play OVER 

The Kings were smashed by the Knicks 140-121 on Thursday in New York and now on tired legs I expect them to play very little defence again, and just try to keep pace here in what Im betting will resemble an all star game shootout. Im also predicting that the Kings put  111 to 116  points on the board.  SACRAMENTO is 20-4 OVER  where both teams score 105 or more points in a game this season with a combined average of 242.1 ppg scored.

Tonight my projections estimate that the Pistons will score upward of 112 to 116 points,DETROIT is 33-1 OVER  when they score 112 or more points in a game over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 234.4 ppg scored.SACRAMENTO in 24 games   when they allow 112 or more points in a game this season have seen a combined average of 241.1 ppg scored. 

Play OVER

 Washington has played a grueling schedule of late against top tier squads over a relatively short period of time, and will now be on tired legs here in the high altitudes of Denver, which is never a easy endeavor. Also when considering the Nuggets 28th ranked pace my projections looks for a combined score that remains on the low side of the offered total.

WASHINGTON is 10-1 UNDER  in road games when playing 8 or more games in 14 days over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 218.7 ppg scored. 

NBA Home teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (DENVER) - revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points, winning between 51% and 60% of their games on the season are 37-11 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 77% conversion rate for bettors. 

Play UNDER

 NBA Road teams where the total is 220 to 229.5 (LA LAKERS) - excellent shooting team (47.5% or more ) against a good shooting team (45.5-47.5%), after a game making 12 or more 3 point shots are 53-22 OVER L/24 seasons for a 71% conversion rate for bettors. 

My projections estimate that the Suns will score 112- 117 points here this evening vs the Charlotte Hornets. CHARLOTTE is 14-1 OVER   when they allow 112 or more points in a game this season with a combined average of 235.5 ppg . PHOENIX is 11-2 OVER  when they score 112 or more points in a game this season with a combined average of 235,4 ppg scored.  PHOENIX is 10-0 OVER  when they score 117 or more points in a game this season with a combined average of 240.3 ppg scored. I also project the Hornets to put at least 105 points on the board, which is also a good omen for a over wager to cash as CHARLOTTE is 16-3 OVER  where both teams score 105 or more points in a game this season.Over is 7-0 in Hornets last 7 games as a road underdog with a combined average of 232 ppg scored.

Over is 4-0 in Suns last 4 overall.

Over is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings.

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 220 (CHARLOTTE) - in a game involving two good three point shooting teams (36.5% or more ), average ball handling team (14.5-16.5 TO's) against a poor pressure defensive team (14.5 TO's or less ) are 67-30 OVER  L/5 seasons for a 69% conversion rate for bettors.

Play OVER

Dallas has gone over in 7 straight times and 8 of their L/9 games overall, while their opponents tonight the Grizzlies have gone over the total 11 of their L/13 overall. Over is 8-0 in Grizzlies last 8 games as an underdog including 6 straight on the road.Over is 6-0 in Mavericks last 6 games as a home favorite. Over is 11-1 in Mavericks last 12 games as a favorite. These teams are trending towards high scoring back and forth affairs and have gone over in 4 of their L/5 meetings and Im betting on a rinse and repeat situation tonight. 

Play OVER

Houston will play for the first time since Feb. 17 following consecutive postponements and Im betting will have plenty of energy after extended rest to turn this game into a fast paced affair that favors this tilt going over the set total according to my projections. Note: The Rockets rank 3rd in pace in the league. 

Over is 5-1 in Bulls last 6 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. 

Over is 4-1 in Rockets last 5 overall.Over is 11-5 in Rockets last 16 vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

Play OVER

NBA Road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 220 (PHILADELPHIA) - after 1 or more consecutive unders, a good team (+3 to +7 PPG differential) against an average team (+/- 3 PPG differential) are 59-26 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 70% conversion rate. 

Boston despite of a day off yesterday is on tired legs and Im betting  will want to slow this game down behind the 23rd ranked pace in the NBA including 6th ranked ppg defence. This Celtics team has been inconsistent offensively ranking 22nd in ppg offence so it will be imperitive they control the pace. This will lead to combined score that remains on the low side of the total. Note:  In the Celtics last six games,  they own the league’s sixth-highest Defensive Rating at 107.5 ppg. 
BOSTON is 10-1 UNDER  in road games when playing 8 or more games in 14 days over the last 2 seasons.

Play UNDER

Washington enters this game on tired legs as this is their 8th game in a 2 week period and are jet lagged after traveling from east to west and still adapting to a new time zone, which Im betting effects their offensive flow. This will have a direct effect on the total combined score of this tilt vs their host the Portland Blazers.  WASHINGTON is 9-0 UNDER  in road games when playing 8 or more games in 14 days over the last 2 seasons. 

NBA Home teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (PORTLAND) - in non-conference games, off a road win are 35-8 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 82% conversion rate for bettors. 

Play UNDER 

Milwaukee is in the midst of a five-game losing streak and now on tired legs after playing last night. HC Mike Budenholzer's now says the team has to get back to basics and pay attention to defense in transition , whichIm betting effects the combined score of this game.  

MILWAUKEE is 17-5  L/22 UNDER   in home games after failing to cover the spread in 5 or more consecutive games with a combined average of 189.4 ppg scored. MILWAUKEE is 29-16 UNDER when playing their 3rd game in 4 days over the last 3 seasons for a combined average of 220.4 ppg scored. 

Atlanta continues to force teams into fast paced , all out run and gun affairs and nothing will change tonight vs the high powered  Boston Celtics .

Pierce is 13-2 OVER  when playing their 3rd road game in 5 days as the coach of ATLANTA with a combined average of 248.1 ppg scored.ATLANTA is 17-7 OVER  against Atlantic division opponents over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 238.8 ppg scored. 

NBA Road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 200 (ATLANTA) - after going over the total by more than 6 points in three consecutive games, with a winning percentage of between 40-49% on the season are 43-12 OVER L/5 seasons for a 78% conversion rate for bettors.

Home teams where the total is greater than or equal to 210 (BOSTON) - after being beaten by the spread by 18 or more points total in their last three games against opponent after going over the total by more than 6 points in three consecutive games are 43-13 OVER L/5 seasons for a 77% conversion rate.

Play OVER 

Denver is off a down  effort last time out, and a subsequent 129-98  loss . Note: DENVER is 10-2 OVER  after 1 or more consecutive losses this season with a combined average of 230.3 ppg. With that said, I look for  Denver to come out here with a big time run and gun start to finish effort and their hosts the Cleveland Cavs will have not choice but to keep up and to try to push forward with some offensive fireworks of their own which will push us towards a over wager. 

DENVER is 14-4 OVER versus struggling  defensive teams - allowing 106+ points/game this season with a combined average of 227.9 ppg and is  is 10-2 OVER  versus poor defensive teams - shooting pct defense of 46% or more  this season with a combined average of 230.9 ppg scored. DENVER is 14-4 OVER when the total is greater than or equal to 220 this season with a combined average of 231.1 ppg scored.

Play on the OVER 

After blowing a big lead last night and losing in embarrassing fashion Im betting the Heat will come out here tonight and start firing on all cylinders and hold nothing back and take nothing for granted  and keep pouring points down even if leading big late . Meanwhile the Kings will have no option but to fire back with some offensive fire works of their own or be blown off the court which Im betting results in a high scoring affair. 

SACRAMENTO is 22-8 OVER in a home game where the total is greater than or equal to 220 over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 236.1 ppg scored. 

 The Kings are 19-0 OVER as a dog with rest coming off a home game that had 8+ lead changes with the average combined score of 242 ppg scored.

Play on the Over 

Miami,  ranks near the bottom of the NBA at 106.2 points scored per game. As a team, the Heat are shooting 35.7 percent from 3-point range to rank in the bottom third of the league. Their key to success thus will be based on defense, and nothing changes tonight here on the road. This will help lead to a combined score that remains on the low side of the total.

The Lakers who rank 1st in defensive rating in the league especially  pay strict attention to transition and are talented enough to control the flow of a game. They have become extremely disciplined and if down by substantial amount will not deter from their style of play. This Im betting will see this combined score stay on the low side of the total. 

LA LAKERS are 7-0 UNDER  when playing against a team with a winning record this season with a combined average of 211.7 ppg scored. LA LAKERS are 9-0 UNDER  in road games versus up-tempo teams averaging 88 or more shots/game this season with a combined average of 203.8 ppg. LA LAKERS are 11-0 UNDER  in road games versus defenses - allowing 110+ points/game this season with a combined average of 209.5 ppg scored.LA LAKERS are 14-4 UNDER  as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points this season with a combined average of 214.5 ppg. Vogel is 14-2 UNDER  versus good rebounding teams - out-rebounding opponents by 3+ per game as the coach of LA LAKERS with a combined average of 204.8 ppg scored. 

NBA teams where the total is 210 to 219.5 (DENVER) - after a win by 6 points or less against opponent after trailing their last 2 games by 10+ points at the half are 33-10 UNDER L/23 seasons for a 77% conversion rate for bettors.

play under 

The Lakers D,  and not their star offensive power is what makes them as good as they are. The Lakers rank 2nd in the league in ppg allowed and and 17th in pace, and as per usual they dictate the tone of game and nothing will change tonight, which Im betting helps keep this combined score on the low side of the total. LA LAKERS are 8-1 UNDER  against Southwest division opponents this season with a combined average 217.1 ppg scored. LA LAKERS are 14-3 UNDER  as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points this season with a combined average of 214.2 ppg scored.

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 200 (DENVER) - after a huge blowout win by 30 or more against opponent after 4 straight games where both teams scored 100 points or more are 42-11 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 79% conversion rate. 

After playing good D for an extended time the Dallas D, has looked a little tattered by has seen a regression to point allowed in their last 3 games, and according to my projections that positive defensive trajectory will continue in this spot vs the Pelicans tonight. Meanwhile, New Orleans  has also been playing very good defense with an exception last time out vs Chicago. However, today Im betting on Van Gundy's squad getting  back to business and makes sure their transition game and 3 point defense is focused on which will help keep this score on the low side of the total.Van Gundy is 22-9 UNDER  after a game where they allowed a shooting pct. of 55% or higher in all games he has coached  with a combined score of 197 ppg scored. 

Play UNDER 

Philadelphia is red hot, and Im betting on the Blazers trying to be more physical with their opponent in an effort to slow them down and take away from their flow. this Im betting results in a lower scoring tilt than the lines makers are expecting. 

Under is 5-2 in 76ers last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Rivers is 37-20 UNDER  revenging a straight up loss vs opponent as a home favorite of 7or more in all games he has coached in his career with a combined average of 197.1 ppg scored.

NBA Road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (PHILADELPHIA) - a good team (+3 to +7 PPG differential) against an average team (+/- 3 PPG differential), after a combined score of 215 points or more 2 straight games are 30-7 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 81% conversion rate for bettors.

Play UNDER

Detroit ranks 23rd in offence behind the 24th ranked pace, while Indiana is ranked middle of the road in all key categories. From a projections stand point my number is closer to 216 which gives us a one possession advantage to the under. 

NBA Home teams where the total is 210 to 219.5 (DETROIT) - after a game where they covered the spread, terrible team, winning 25% or less of their games on the season are 36-15 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 71% conversion rate.

NBA teams where the total is 210 to 219.5 (INDIANA) - after going under the total by 18 or more points total in their last three games, vs. division opponents are 216- 142 L/24 seasons for a 60% conversion rate. 

Play UNDER 

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 210 (DENVER) - excellent shooting team (47.5% or better) against an average shooting team (43.5-45.5%), after 3 straight games - allowing a shooting pct. of 47% or higher are 32-10 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 76% conversion rate for bettors.

The Bucks are know for their offense but their defense is ranked 8th in defensive efficiency and will be key here tonight in the Mile High City vs the Nuggets. Meanwhile, Denver is ranked 28th in pace, and will be prepared to grind away here in an effort to slow down the Bucks. MILWAUKEE is 11-1 UNDER  off a road blowout win by 20 points or more over the last 2 seasons which was the case last time out vs Cleveland in a 124-99 victory. The average combined score of those 12 games rings in at 219 ppg. 

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (MILWAUKEE) - off a road win, a good team (60% to 75%) playing a team with a winning record are 38-11 UNDER 24 seasons for a 78% conversion rate for bettors. 

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (DENVER) - well rested team - playing 4 or less games in 10 days, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team are 77-37 L/24 seasons for a 68% conversion rate. 

Play on the UNDER 

The Grizzlies calling card and success and or failures are centered around a 7th ranked ppg defense. With the offense ranked just 22nd in the NBA its obvious Memphis  will be out to center their attention on slowing this game down and Im betting that wont be a problem against a tired New Orleans side that played a hard fought game last night in a one point win. These projections on the style  play and energy flow have me taking an under stance. 

MEMPHIS is 9-1 UNDER off a home loss by 10 points or more over the last 2 seasons.

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 210 (MEMPHIS) - after being beaten by the spread by more than 12 points in two consecutive games, with a winning percentage of between 45-55% on the season are 43-20 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 68% conversion rate for bettors.

NBA Home teams where the total is greater than or equal to 220 (NEW ORLEANS) - after having won 2 of their last 3 games, tired team - playing 6 or more games in 10 days are 92-53 L/5 seasons for a 65% conversion rate for bettors.

Play UNDER

Im betting these two top tier teams take part in a post season style game that focuses on defence with special attention paid to the transition game. Boston ranks 9th in ppg allowed in the league and the Clippers ranks 4th.Under is 9-4-1 in the last 14 meetings in Los Angeles.

Play UNDER 

Washingtons offense despite of their run and gun reputation have been quite inconsistent lately with their output numbers. In 5 of their L/7 games, they have scored 101,88, 106, 100, and 103 points. There were two offensive explosions, but those were against Brooklyn and Atlanta two teams that like to run and gun like them.  Tonight Im betting their offensive output will once again be curtailed by a Heat side that ranks 23rd in pace and 26th in offensive production. This will contribute to this tilt staying on the low side of the number. Note. These teams played on Wednesday night with a 103-100 final score. Rinse and repeat scenario now on board.

NBA Home teams where the total is greater than or equal to 220 (MIAMI) - off a close loss by 3 points or less to a division rival are 23-3 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 89% conversion rate for bettors. 

NBA teams where the total is 220 to 229.5 (WASHINGTON) - tired team - playing 8 or more games in 14 days, in a game involving two bad teams (25% to 40%) are 45-15 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 72% conversion rate for bettors.

Play UNDER

Since the Harden trade and his subsequent  debut, the Nets are averaging 127 points on 51.8 percent shooting. They shot 57 percent Tuesday. However, as we all know those numbers are not sustainable, especially against a veteran team like Toronto that knows how to slow games down and turning them into grinding affairs. Thus Im betting that this combined score will remain on the low side of the total. TORONTO is 22-8 UNDER  versus good teams - outscoring their opponents by 3+ points/game over the last 2 seasons. Nurse  in all 8 of his road games versus very good shooting teams - making 48% or better of their shots as the coach of TORONTO has seen a combined score of 215.2 ppg scored.

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (BROOKLYN) - a good team (+3 to +7 PPG differential) against an average team (+/- 3 PPG differential), after allowing 115 points or more are 30-10 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 80% conversion rate for bettors.

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (BROOKLYN) - a good team (+3 to +7 PPG differential) against an average team (+/- 3 PPG differential), after a combined score of 215 points or more are 71-28 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 72% conversion rate for bettors.

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (TORONTO) - after 2 consecutive covers as a favorite against opponent after a home game where both teams score 100 or more points are 32-9 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 78% conversion rate for bettors.

Play UNDER

My projections estimate that Cleveland will not score more than 105 points here tonight while the Bucks should score in the 116 range. Note:MILWAUKEE is 18-2 UNDER  when they allow 100 to 105 points in a game over the last 2 seasons with a combined average score of 215.4 ppg going on the board. The L/3 games in this series in Cleveland have gone under the set total and a rinse and repeat situation once again looks like a viable betting opportunity here based on my estimates and the fact that the Cavs own the 6th best ppg defense in the NBA and the 29th ranked pace. 

Play UNDER 

Denver offence is clicking and Im betting they push the Lakers into a uptempo game here and make the champs work extra hard in this tilt. DENVER is 20-6 OVER  after scoring 120 points or more over the last 2 seasons and is  is 12-3 OVER  in road games after scoring 105 points or more 5 straight games over the last 2 seasons

NBA Road teams where the total is 210 to 219.5 (DENVER) - after having covered 2 of their last 3 against the spread, playing with 3 or more days rest are 26-4 OVER L/5 seasons for a 87% conversion rate for bettors with a combined average of 224.2 ppg scored. 

Play OVER

Memphis had their 7 game win steak snapped last time out by Indiana in a high scoring 134-116 event . I blame that down effort by the Grizzlies on their defence, which might of suffered because of tired legs on a rigorous schedule. The win streak was complimented by top tier defence, and now Im betting the Grizzlies returning to what made them successful here and that Im also betting contributes to this tilt staying on the low side of the total.

HOUSTON is 8-0 UNDER  versus teams who average 9 or more steals/game on the season over the last 2 seasons.HOUSTON is 25-14 UNDER  in road games versus up-tempo teams averaging 88 or more shots/game over the last 2 seasons.HOUSTON is 20-8 UNDER  when the line is +3 to -3 over the last 2 seasons.HOUSTON is 22-6 UNDER on the road when the line is +3 to -3 over the last 3 seasons.

Sacramento has played well lately winning 3 of their L/5 with one loss by 1 point 96-95 , and Im attributing their recent success to playing good defense. Meanwhile, Boston is also playing top tier defensive hoops and ranking 8th in ppg defense. More of the same from both tonight. 

NBA Road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 210 (BOSTON) - average free throw shooting team (72-76%) against a poor free throw shooting team (69-72%), good ball handling team (14.5  or less TO's) against a poor pressure defensive team (14.5 or less TO's) are 26-7 UNDER L/ 24 seasons for a 79% conversion rate.

Play UNDER

Phoenix ranks fifth in defensive efficiency and are good at cutting down on opponents downtown shooting, thus making them play inside the arc in the paint. Meanwhile, the Pelicans play a similar style of  D, but are horrendous on offence and could easily be suffocated by a Suns side that is starting to get healthy. On the flip-side the Suns are inconsistent offensively, and dont get to the charity stripe often, ranking 2nd in FT attempts. These kinds of systems when I make a total projection shows value to the under. 

PHOENIX is 17-7 UNDER in road games versus struggling  defensive teams - allowing 110+ points/game over the last 2 seasons.PHOENIX is 15-4 UNDER  in a road game where the total is 220 to 229.5 over the last 2 seasons.PHOENIX is 20-9 UNDER  in a road game where the total is greater than or equal to 220 over the last 2 seasons. 

Play UNDER

Indiana has been struggling to score and than suddenly last time out, they popped  134 points on 59.7% shooting against the Grizzlies, and now I expect a regression to the norm on tired legs in back to back games. This Im betting directly alters projections and gives us value on the under.

INDIANA is 22-8 UNDER  after a combined score of 245 points or more and s14-3 UNDER  after scoring 130 points or more.

NBA Road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 220 (INDIANA) - after a blowout win by 15 points or more against opponent after a blowout win by 20 points or more are 29-6 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 82% conversion rate for bettors.

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (MILWAUKEE) - after a blowout win by 20 points or more against opponent after scoring 120 points or more are 31-7 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 82% conversion rate.

Play UNDER 

Boston ranks 8th in defense ppg against and is the cornerstone of their successes and failures and nothing with change tonight vs the explosive Curry and the Warriors. The Celtics defensive posture and ability to control flow will lead to this being a lower scoring game than the linesmakers estimates. 

NBA teams where the total is 220 to 229.5 (BOSTON) - good shooting team - shooting 46% or more  on the season against opponent after 2 straight games - attempting 10+ less free throws than opponent are 28-11 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 72% conversion rate for bettors.

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 200 (GOLDEN STATE) - tired team - playing 8 or more games in 14 days, in a game involving two marginal winning teams (51% to 60%) are 70-33 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 68% conversion rate for bettors.

Play UNDER 

The Los Angeles Clippers and Brooklyn Nets possess a great deal of  offensive explosiveness . But one team the Clippers owns the better defence (4th in NBA ppg allowed), and has the abilities to slow down the other side behind the 27th ranked pace  , and limit their potent attack. The Nets will want to run and gun, but Im betting the Clippers will not be dragged into that type of game and instead play stoppers here tonight against a undisciplined side, which according to my projections sets up for a combined score that does not eclipse this total. LA CLIPPERS are 22-9 UNDER in road games when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 220.2 ppg going on the scoreboard. 


NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (BROOKLYN) - after a game where a team made 55% of their shots or better against opponent after a game making 12 or more 3 point shots are 33-7 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 83% conversion rate for bettors. NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 230 (BROOKLYN) - after a game where a team made 55% of their shots or better against opponent after a game making 12 or more 3 point shots are 60-25 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 71% conversion rate for bettors.

Play UNDER 

Memphis thanks to some very strong defensive play have won 7 games in a row and now on tired legs as they play their 2nd game in 2 nights, Im betting them and their opponents the Spurs will take part in a more subdued less aggressive offensive affair.

 MEMPHIS is 8-0 UNDER   off a win by 15 points or more as an underdog over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 208.5 ppg.

SAN ANTONIO is 8-0 UNDER  in home games off an upset loss as a home favorite over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 213.6 ppg. 

NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 200 (MEMPHIS) - extremely well rested team - playing 5 or less games in 14 days, in a game involving two marginal winning teams (51% to 60%) are 70-39 UNDER L/23 seasons for a 64% conversion rate. 

 NBA Road teams where the total is 220 to 229.5 (MEMPHIS) - in a game involving two average teams (+/- 3 PPG differential.), after a blowout win by 15 points or more are 30-9 UNDER L/24 seasons for a 74% conversion rate. 

Play on the under 

NYK in their 20 games this season have seen a combined average of 204.3 ppg scored behind a 30th ranked last place pace and the worst ppg offense in the NBA also ranked 30th. To me this tells me they have had more control of the speed of the game than their opponents, and Im betting despite of the Bulls wanting to run they wont have their way and we see a lower scoring tilt then the lines-makers might expect. 

NEW YORK is 13-4 UNDER versus teams who attempt 18 or more 3 point shots/game on the season this season with a combined average of 201.1 ppg scored. 

 CHICAGO is 18-6 UNDER in home games versus teams who average 7 or less steals/game on the season over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 204.5 ppg scored. 

NBA Road teams where the total is 210 to 219.5 (NEW YORK) - after having covered 4 or 5 of their last 6 against the spread, a marginal losing team (40% to 49%) playing a losing team are 34-11 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 76% conversion rate for bettors.
