MIKE'S SIXERS/KNICKS TOTAL THRASHER

The over/under is 2-2 in this series, and I expect another under despite seeing the lowest total so far. The Knicks have been playing suffocating defense and have made things difficult for the Sixers for most of the series.

Now, Philly's star center, Joel Embiid, is banged up again. I don't see him missing the game, but if he's even remotely limited the Sixers offense will suffer big time. 

Under is 21-6 in 76ers last 27 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Under is 6-2 in Knicks last 8 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

5* NBA WEST CONF ROUND 1 TOTAL OF THE YEAR MAX BET

I expected much, much more from the Phoenix Suns in this series. On paper, they have all the talent needed to make some serious noise in the post-season.

The Suns' stars have failed to gel as a team, though, and they have found it difficult to compete against a Minnesota Timberwolves team that is holding opponents to an NBA-best 106.3 points per game. 

Now down 3-0 in the series, I think we'll see the Suns' stars getting even more desperate and, as a result, take even worse shots, leading to a low-scoring game in which the Wolves should have an edge.

SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

In addition to the Thunder to win and cover the spread, I also like the under. Under is 24-9-1 in Pelicans last 34 games as a road underdog. Under is 4-1 in Thunder last 5 games as a favorite.

5* NBA EASTERN  CONF TOTAL OF THE WEEK MAX BET

This is a low total, and if we combine the spread with the total the bookmakers project the Celtics to win 111.5 - 97.5.

I think Heat will score 100+, but I'm still not sure that will be enough to cover the number; the Celtics are an offensive juggernaut that has scored 130+ points in back-to-back games while barely breaking a sweat.

Over is 5-0 in Celtics last 5 games as a favorite of 11.0 or greater. Over is 4-0 in Heat last 4 games as an underdog of 11.0 or greater.

MIKE'S MAVS/THUNDER NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BLA$TER

The OKC Thunder are looking to secure the top spot in the conference, while the Dallas Mavericks have their No. 5 seed and a first-round matchup with the LA Clippers locked in.

I don't expect to see much life from Dallas in this game, and the Thunder should be able to slow down once they've taken a comfortable lead.

MIKE'S HORNETS/CAVS NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BREAKER

This seems like too low a total for a contest of exhibition character, where defense will not be a priority. 

3* PLAY ON THE OVER. 

MIKE'S ROCKETS/JAZZ TOTAL

I don't see why a Houston Rockets team already eliminated from the playoffs should be this big of a favorite. Sure, the Jazz have been a punching bag in recent weeks (0-10 SU, 2-8 ATS in the last 10 games), but they're 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games vs. a team with a losing straight-up record, and they lost by only one point when they hosted the Rockets on March 29. 

In addition to Jazz to cover the spread, I also like the over. Over is 12-2 in Rockets last 14 overall. Over is 15-7-2 in Rockets last 24 games as a favorite of 11.0 or greater.

3* PLAY ON THE OVER. 

5* NBA EASTERN CONF TOTAL OF THE YEAR MAX BET

The Boston Celtics have had the No. 1 seed in the conference locked up for quite some time, and their only focus for now is to stay healthy, so they're unlikely to fight hard on the defensive end. 

The New York Knicks will be fired up as they push for the No. 2 seed in the East, and they are coming off back-to-back 120+ point games.

Over is 8-3 in Celtics last 11 overall.

5* PLAY ON THE OVER.

MAVS/HEAT TOTAL 

This looks like a good spot to fade the Dallas Mavericks, who are in a potential flat spot following a 130-104 win in Charlotte last night, their fourth win and cover in a row. The Miami Heat will also play on short rest following a 117-111 win in Atlanta Tuesday night, but they have the homecourt advantage. 

Heat are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Heat are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest. Heat are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog of 5.0-10.5.

In addition to Miami to cover the spread, I also like the over. The Heat have averaged 117 ppg through their last three games, and the over is 6-0 in their last 6 overall.

5* NBA NON-CONFERENCE TOTAL OF THE WEEK MAX BET

The Oklahoma City Thunder are 44-32-1 to the over for the season, and I expect them to give us a strong effort on the offensive end tonight following a 126-112 loss to the Indiana Pacers in their last game. 

Over is 21-7 in Thunder last 28 games following a straight up loss. Over is 8-2 in Thunder last 10 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Over is 9-2 in Thunder last 11 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Over is 6-1 in Hornets last 7 games as an underdog.

5* PLAY ON THE OVER. 

MIKE'S WARRIORS/MAVS TOTAL

This looks like a tough spot for the Golden State Warriors, who will on the road for a second straight night following their 133-110 win in Houston last night. They're riding a six-game winning streak but will now face a Dallas team that is even hotter with eight wins in nine games.

The Mavs will also play on short rest, but they've not had to travel, and this is a revenge spot for the Mavs after losing 104-100 when they visited the Warriors on April 2. 

In addition to the Mavs to cover the spread, I also like the under. Under is 6-0 in Warriors last 6 games as a road underdog of 5.0-10.5. Under is 43-15-1 in Mavericks last 59 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

MIKE'S LATE-NIGHT MAVS/WARRIORS NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Dallas Mavericks won 109-99 when they hosted the Golden State Warriors on March 13, and I expect another relatively low-scoring affair when they clash at Chase Center Tuesday night.

5* NBA EAST vs. WEST TOTAL OF THE MONTH

The Minnesota Timberwolves are holding opponents to an NBA-best 106.2 points per game on the season, but I think the bookmakers have set the total way too low for this Sunday night matchup with the Chicago Bulls. 

Over is 4-0 in Timberwolves last 4 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Over is 8-0 in Bulls last 8 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

The Sacramento Kings will play on short rest following a 108-96 win over the Philadelphia 76ers and they have held their last five opponents to an average of 102.4 ppg. The Dallas Mavericks have also been feisty on the defensive end of late with only 105, 107, 97 and 105 points allowed through their last four games. 

Under is 5-1 in Kings last 6 games as a favorite. Under is 55-27 in Mavericks last 82 games as an underdog of 0.5-4.5.

MIKE'S WARRIORS/HEAT TOTAL

This looks like a great spot to fade the Miami Heat who are in a potential letdown spot after blowing the doors off the Cavs on Sunday while at the same time backing the Golden State Warriors to rally after back-to-back losses. 

Heat are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games as a home underdog. Warriors are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss. Warriors are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS loss. Warriors are 14-4 ATS in their last 18 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

In addition to the Warriors to win the game, I also like the under. 

Under is 10-1 in Warriors last 11 games as a road favorite. Under is 6-1 in Heat last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Under is 8-1 in Heat last 9 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

The Boston Celtics have scored 119 points or more in eight straight games. They defeated the Hawks 125-117 in Boston on Feb 7. That game went under the closing total of 244 points, but we're seeing a much lower number for this game.

Over is 40-16 in Hawks last 56 Monday games. Over is 8-3 in Hawks last 11 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Over is 5-1-1 in Celtics last 7 games as a favorite.

MIKE'S CAVS/HEAT TOTAL

This looks like a good spot to back the Cleveland Cavaliers to bounce back-to-back losses SU and ATS.

The Cavs are coming off a 104-91 loss to the Timberwolves in Minnesota, but note that they're 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss.

They'll visit a Heat team that is 2-6 ATS in its last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

In addition to the Cavs covering the spread, I also like the under as I think the total is this low for a very good reason as both teams are dealing with injuries. Under is 20-6 in Cavaliers last 26 road games. Under is 12-4 in Heat last 16 home games. Under is 35-16 in Heat last 51 overall.

Additionally, the under is 38-17 in the Rockets' last 55 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. This situation applies to this contest as they're coming off a 127-117 win over the Chicago Bulls.

Under is 6-1 in Suns last 7 games as a home favorite. Under is 4-0 in Bucks last 4 games as a road underdog. Under is 21-7 in Bucks last 28 games as an underdog of 0.5-4.5.

4* PLAY ON THE UNDER.

MIKE'S KINGS/CAVS TOTAL

The Sacramento Kings are 5-1 on a seven-game road trip that will conclude with a matchup against the Cavs in Cleveland Monday night.

One must wonder how much gas is left in the tank following impressive wins in Indiana and Chicago, and here they'll face a hot Cavs team that is coming off a 117-101 win in San Antonio.

Cavaliers are Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games as a favorite.

As extra motivation, the Cavs will be looking to avenge a double-digit loss to the Kings in Sacramento back in November. 

In addition to the Cavs to cover the spread, I also think the total is a bit high. Under is 7-2-1 in Cavaliers last 10 games as a favorite and 14-6 in Kings last 20 games as an underdog.

MAX BET ALERT - 5* NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK

The New York Knicks are 9-1 to the under in their last 10 games. They've ramped up the intensity on the defensive end lately, holding eight of their last 10 opponents to 103 points or fewer. The Indiana Pacers have scored 120+ points in three of their last four games, but I think they'll find it difficult to get good looks against this Knicks team. 

Under is 7-2 in Pacers last 9 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Under is 9-1 in Knicks last 10 home games.

MIKE'S 4* NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Los Angeles Lakers took a 135-119 loss in Houston last night. The Lakers playing on no rest bodes well for an over here as the Hawks can take advantage of an away team dealing with fatigue.

The New York Knicks have put up 120+ points in three of their last four games and the Charlotte Hornets are allowing 120.5 points per game (25th) on the season, but situationally, I think this looks like a good spot for an under. 

Under is 5-1 in Knicks last 6 games as a road favorite. Under is 20-7 in Knicks last 27 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Under is 35-15-2 in Hornets last 52 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

MAX BET ALERT - 5* NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK

I expect regression from the Phoenix Suns after scoring 130+ points in back-to-back games. The Orlando Magic have struggled offensively for some time and have not scored more than 109 points in any of their last nine games while being held to fewer than 100 points in four of those games. 

4* PLAY ON THE UNDER. 

MIKE'S 4* NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Houston Rockets took a 137-131 loss to Portland in their last game. I think this will be a much lower-scoring game. The under is 36-15-2 in Rockets last 53 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game and 8-3 in their last 11 games as an underdog.

MIKE'S GRIZZLIES/RAPTORS NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Memphis Grizzlies scored only 96 points in a loss in Chicago on Saturday and they rank 29th in the NBA with their 107.8 points per game. The Toronto Raptors are also a below-average team offensively with their 114.7 ppg (18th). 

Under is 4-0 in Raptors last 4 vs. a team with a losing straight up record.Under is 18-5 in Grizzlies last 23 vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

MAX BET ALERT - 5* NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK

It feels like the public perception is that games involving either of these two teams go over the total 99% of the time, but the Phoenix Suns are only 22-18 to the over while the New Orleans Pelicans have a 21-21 over/under record. The Pels' play on the defensive end of the hardwood is underrated, and situational trends indicate that this game will go under the total. 

Under is 8-2 in Pelicans last 10 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Under is 7-2 in Suns last 9 games as a road underdog. Under is 6-1 in Suns last 7 games playing on 2 days rest.

The Memphis Grizzlies are 24-16 to the under while the Minnesota Timberwolves are 20-19 to the over. However, the over/under is 5-10-1 in the Wolves games as home favorites.

The Grizzlies are severely banged up, and it's hurting them more offensively than defensively. 

5* PLAY ON THE UNDER. 

MIKE'S MAVS/LAKERS NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BREAKER

Both teams are somewhat banged up; Mavs superstar Luka Doncic is listed as questionable, and Lakers Lebron James also is listed as questionable while Anthony Davis is listed as probable.

If either of these three is out, the total will drop and I like the under in this game.

The Mavs won 127-125 with a total of 235.5 when these two teams battled it out in Dallas last month, but the previous four meetings had all gone under the total. 

Under is 6-1 in Mavericks last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Under is 12-4 in Lakers last 16 home games.

3* PLAY ON THE UNDER.

MIKE'S 4* NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

I expect the Minnesota Timberwolves to bounce back with a strong offensive outing following a 115-108 loss to Dallas. They've been held to fewer than 110 points in four of their last five games, but here they'll face an Orlando team that has struggled on the defensive end in recent games. 

4* PLAY ON THE OVER. 

MAX BET ALERT: 5* SUNS/CLIPPERS NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK

The Los Angeles Clippers are 21-14 to the under on the season. They won 131-122 when they visited Phoenix on January 3, but I think this will be a lower-scoring affair here in the second meeting of the season. 

Under is 11-3 in Clippers last 14 games as a home favorite. Under is 7-1 in Suns last 8 games as a road underdog.

5* PLAY ON THE UNDER.

MIKE'S CELTICS/PACERS NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Indiana Pacers are coming off a 118-101 loss to Boston on Saturday. They had scored 120 points or more in six straight games before that game, so they were due to lay an egg sooner or later. I think they'll bounce back with a strong offensive outing as they clash with the Celtics again Monday night. 

Over is 38-15 in Pacers last 53 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Over is 5-1 in Celtics last 6 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

3* PLAY ON THE OVER. 

HAWKS/MAGIC TOTAL - SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

The Orlando Magic are 20-15 on the season, but they're only 4-6 in their last 10 games and 1-3 in their last four. For this game, they're down several key players, and I think they'll find it difficult to keep with an Atlanta team that is looking to bounce back from a humbling 150-116 loss in Indiana.

The Hawks have put up 130, 141 and 116 points in their last three games while the Magic have scored 115, 135 and 122 in their last three. I think the Hawks will prevail in a high-scoring affair.

3* PLAY ON THE OVER.

MAX BET ALERT: MIKE'S 5* NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK

The Houston Rockets are 18-13 to the under on the season, but they've played at a much higher pace of late with each of their last three games going over 240 points.

The slumping Brooklyn Nets have had a hard time getting stops lately, and here they'll have tired legs following a 112-85 loss in New Orleans last night.

I think the Rockets will have no trouble running up the score, but I also like Brooklyn to put up its fair share of points against a Houston team that has allowed 120 points or more in six of its past nine games. 

Over is 6-2 in Rockets last 8 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Over is 5-1 in Nets last 6 games playing on 0 days rest.

5* play on the over. 

MIKE'S LATE 4* NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Charlotte Hornets are winless through their last 11 games despite putting up a decent amount of points in most contests. They're one of the worst teams in the league on the defensive end allowing 121.1 points per game and here they'll face a Sacramento team that has scored 117 points or more in seven of their last 10 games. 

Over is 8-2 in Kings last 10 games as a favorite of 11.0 or greater. Over is 23-8 in Kings last 31 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

MIKE'S 4* SPURS/BLAZERS NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The San Antonio Spurs are 20-9 to the over on the season, but I think the bookmakers are overestimating how many points we'll see when they visit Portland on Thursday night. Sure, both teams have struggled on the defensive end of the court all season, but they're also among the worst when it comes to scoring. The under is 5-1 in Trail Blazers last 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

The Brooklyn Nets will be playing on short rest following a 112-97 win over Miami yesterday, so I think they'll try and slow down the tempo and the Bulls are a naturally slow team, averaging only 98.2 possessions per game (29th). 

The Chicago Bulls have averaged only 100.5 points over their last six games.

MIKE'S BUCKS/PACERS NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BOMBER

Both teams will be playing on no rest, with the Milwaukee Bucks coming off a 120-118 win over Detroit while the Indiana Pacers are coming off a 134-118 win over Utah.

We won with the over in Milwaukee as a free pick yesterday but lost with the under in Indiana as a premium play.

For this matchup, I like the over as I think tired legs will have a bigger negative effect on the defensive end than the offensive end.

Since the start of last season, the Pacers are 11-4 to the over when playing on 0 days rest, and they are 7-1 to the over overall this season.

Mike Lundin's Pistons/Bucks NBA Free Pick

The Detroit Pistons are heading to Milkwaukee on a five-game losing streak, and they allowed 120 points or more in four of those losses. This is a bad time to face a Bucks team that is coming off a 129-125 win in Brooklyn. Defensively, the Bucks have had their issues in the early goings as well, as they rank only 25th with 119.7 points allowed per game.

The Utah Jazz are 6-2 to the over while the Indiana Pacers are 6-1 to the over, but only one of Utah's games has gone over than 244 points while four of Indiana's games have gone over 244 points.

Sure, this will be a high-tempo, high-scoring affair, but the I think the total is inflated. It only takes one relatively slow quarter (or even a half of a quarter) to make this under a winner.

5* BEST BET: MIKE'S WARRIORS/CAVS NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK

The Golden State Warriors are 4-2 to the under on the season while the Cleveland Cavaliers have a 3-3 over/under record. 

The Warriors defeated the Thunder 141-139 Friday night, but note that the under is 2-0 this season when they scored 120+ points in their previous game. 

The Cavs put up 116 points in a loss in Indiana on Friday but they are averaging only 105.7 ppg (26th) for the season. Since the start of last season, the Cavs have a 17-26 over/under record as home favorites.  

The Warriors average only 93.9 possessions per game (21st) and Cleveland 92.9 possessions per game (23rd). I don't see either team pushing the tempo.

5* BEST BET: MIKE'S NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK

We won with the under as a free pick when the Warriors hosted Phoenix in their season opener. In the write-up, I mentioned how I expect the Warriors to play at a slower pace this season with Chris Paul in the team, and that turned out the be the case. 

The Kings opened the season with a 130-114 win at Utah, but I think this will be a much lower-scoring affair. Also, the under is 6-3-1 in the last 10 head-to-head meetings.

The over/under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings. The total has gone over in nine of San Antonio’s last 11 games at home. The total has gone over in five of San Antonio’s last six games played on a Friday when at home.

The San Antonio Spurs allowed a league-worst 123.1 points per game last year. They've added the No. 1 draft pick Victor Wembanyama to the roster, and it will be very interesting to follow him this season. Mavs superstar Luka Doncic is up in the air as he's recovering from a mild calf strain. I don't think he'll miss the season opener, and I think we'll see plenty of points for both teams.
