The Hoosiers pulled that game out despite allowing the Hawkeyes to make 55.1% of their shots which was their worst defensive effort in their last five games. Improving the play on defense for this team was priority number one for first-year head coach Archie Miller who came over from a Dayton program where he had very competitive NCAA Tournament teams predicated on strong defensive play. This team has played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after allowing their last opponent to make at least 55% of their shots.

At 9:00 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Oklahoma Sooners (715) and the Kansas Jayhawks (716). Oklahoma (16-10) has lost five straight games after their upset loss at home to Texas on Saturday as a 7-point favorite. The Sooners shot just 30.8% from the field in that game. At times, such a poor shooting effort may be a harbinger of a visit from the Regression Gods. However, this Oklahoma team has played 17 of their last 24 games Under the Total after failing to make more than 33% of their shots in their last game — and this includes four Unders in those last five situations. The team’s struggles on offense start with freshman sensation Trae Young who is in the midst of a terrible shooting slump. He has made only 10 of the 51 shots from 3-point land he has hoisted up during his team’s losing streak. Young tends to force his shot when his teammates are not making their shots — and this problem gets worse when they are playing on the road. Oklahoma is still averaging 87.5 PPG on 47.1% shooting. But the Sooners are scoring over 13 PPG less than their season average over their last five games while making just 43% of their shots over that stretch. Unfortunately for this Oklahoma team, that low shooting mark is just about what they are shooting on the road given their 43.8% shooting percentage. The Sooners have played 11 of their last 15 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss. Oklahoma has also played 9 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a double-digit loss to a conference rival.

Additionally, not only has Kansas played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a straight-up win but they have also seen the Under go 38-16-1 in their last 55 games after a point spread victory. The Jayhawks scored 83 points in their previous game against Iowa State — but they have then played 18 of their last 27 games Under the Total after scoring at least 75 points in two straight games. Moving forward, Kansas has played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total against fellow Big 12 opponents.

Additionally, the Panthers have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a point spread victory.

This team is undermanned even more than usual right now given the season-ending injury to Michael Conley. Wayne Seldon is out for tonight with JaMychal Green and Chandler Parsons both being questionable — and these absences are having more of an impact for this team on the offensive end of the floor. Memphis made just 39% of their shots against the Thunder on Sunday. Now this team returns home where they have played 19 of their last 29 games Under the Total. The Grizzlies have also played 9 of their last 14 home games Under the Total as the underdog.

The Nets shot just 37.7% from the field in that game which was their worst shooting effort in their last eight games. This team really misses Rondae Hollis-Jefferson who has been declared out the season with a groin injury. Brooklyn will also likely be without Caris LeVert who has been downgraded to out with a knee injury — and this leaves the team very thin on the offensive end of the court.

St. Mary’s (24-2) continues to roll as they enter this game coming off an 83-62 win at Loyola-Marymount on Thursday as a 13-point favorite.

But while the Blue Jays are making 50.4% of their shots overall, they see that number drop to just a 45.4% mark when on the road — so a complete reversal of fortune on the offensive end of the court is unlikely.

At 8:05 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (715) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (716). Cleveland (716). Cleveland (26-16) has lost seven of their last nine games after their 97-95 loss in Indiana on Friday as a 1.5-point favorite. The Cavaliers have lost their last two games despite being the favorite — and they have played 9 of their last 10 games Over the Total after suffering at least two straight upset losses. Cleveland has also played 12 straight games Over the Total after losing four or five of their last six games. Additionally, the Cavaliers have played 33 of their last 17 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after a point spread setback. Now this team returns home for the first time since January 2nd after playing five straight games on the road — and they have played 9 straight home games Over the Total after being on the road for at least seven days. Cleveland has also played 5 of their last 6 home games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road. This is a rematch of the Christmas Day game between these two teams that finished well below the 216 Total with the Warriors winning by a 99-92 score. We had a big play on the Over that day — and neither team could hit the side of a barn that day. The Cavaliers made just 31.8% of their shots along with making only 27% of their 3-pointers. They should shoot much better tonight as they have a 48.6% shooting percentage along with a 37.6% mark behind the arc when playing at home. Of course, Cleveland has since seen Isaiah Thomas return from injury — and his insertion into this rivalry should help the scoring on both sides since he is both a prolific scorer and a liability on defense because of his size. It is interesting that the Total has been installed in the 230s for this game like the Totals ended in last year’s NBA Finals — even after a combined 191 points were scored between these two teams three weeks ago. It looks easy to take the Under — and that makes me feel even more comfortable with this contrarian play.

Golden State (35-9) did not have Stephen Curry in that Christmas Day meeting between these two teams — so that explains some of the reasons why the Total has shot up over 15 points from that contest. The Warriors made only 46.3% of their shots in that contest which was well below their 51% mark for the season. That game started at a blistering pace — but with both teams unable to make their baskets, that fast tempo eventually waned as both coaches wanted their teams to take more time to get better shots. Golden State comes off a 127-125 win in Toronto on Saturday as a 5.5-point favorite. The Warriors have then played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a straight-up win. Golden State has also played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. And in their last 7 games after allowing at least 100 points in their last game, the Warriors have played 6 of these games Over the Total. Additionally, Golden State has covered the point spread in 13 of their last 19 games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. This team is fully healthy again with Andre Iguodalo listed as probable despite his hip injury. The Warriors got on the road where they have played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total.

At 10:35 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the San Antonio Spurs (507) and the Los Angeles Lakers (508). Los Angeles (13-27) played their best defensive game of the season on Tuesday when they held the Kings to just 34.5% shooting in their 99-86 victory. Even with that strong defensive performance, the Lakers have allowed their last five opponents make 46% of their shots which is right in line with their 45.9% opponent’s field goal percentage for the season. Los Angeles did see the return of their rookie point guard Lonzo Ball who bolstered the offense with 11 assists along with pulling down 11 rebounds. While Ball’s shooting numbers have been disparaged by his many critics this season, his contributions to his team as the Floor General have been unappreciated. The Lakers have covered the point spread in two straight games — and they have then covered the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after covering the point spread in their last two games. Los Angeles stays at home in the Staples Center for this game where they have played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total — and they have played 7 of their last 10 home games Over the Total against teams with a losing record on the road. Additionally, the Lakers have played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total against teams with a winning record.

San Antonio (28-14) is a M*A*S*H Unit right now as they are burdened with a host of injuries. The biggest loss for the team is two-time Defensive Player of Year Kawhi Leonard who is out tonight with the shoulder injury he suffered a few days ago. Rudy Gay is also out for tonight with a heel injury while Tony Parker and Danny Green are questionable with ailments. Gregg Popovich has lamented that missing these players will impact the cohesiveness of the five players he can send out on the court — and that likely will hurt the team on defense much more than on offense. The Spurs come off a 107-100 win at Sacramento on Monday. That game finished well above the 199.5 point total which was the 22nd game that San Antonio has played Over the Total in their last 33 games in the month of January. Additionally, the Spurs have played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total against teams with a losing record. Additionally, San Antonio has played 4 straight road games Over the Total against teams with a losing record at home. Lastly, these two teams have played 7 of their last 8 meetings Over the Total — including playing four straight Overs when playing in LA at the Staples Center. Together, these team trends produce our specific 65-21 combined angle for this situation. 25* NBA Pre-All Star Break Thursday TNT Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the San Antonio Spurs (507) and the Los Angeles Lakers (508).

At 8:00 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Denver Pioneers (587) and the North Dakota State Bison (588). North Dakota State (9-7) has won four of their last five games with their 84-79 upset win at South Dakota as an 8-point underdog. The Bison nailed 52.8% of their shots in that win — and that momentum may very well carry over into tonight’s game. North Dakota State has played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a point spread victory. And with that game with the Coyotes ending far above the 142.5 point total in that game, the Bison have now played a decisive 17 of their last 21 games Over the Total against fellow Summit League members. North Dakota State stays at home for this contest where they are shooting a slick 52.6% from the field. The Bison have played 10 of their last 12 games Over the Total on their home court — and they have played eight of their last nine home games Over the Total against teams with a losing record on the road. Defense is an issue for this team as they are allowing Summit foes to make 47% of their shots. Additionally, North Dakota State has played 6 straight games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40%.

Denver (6-10) has lost two straight games — as well as five of their last six contests — with their 82-63 loss to IUPU-Fort Wayne last Saturday as a 3-point underdog. The Pioneers have then played 10 of their last 13 games Over the Total after a point spread loss. This is Denver’s second game in the last eight days — and they have played 10 of their last 12 games Over the Total when playing their second game in ten days. The Pioneers are allowing their Summit League foes to make 49.1% of their shots which helps explain why they have played 20 of their last 27 games Over the Total against conference opponents. Denver is making 48.8% of their shots over their last five games. And in their last 28 road games against teams with a winning home record, the Pioneers have played 21 of these games Over the Total. 25* CBB Summit League Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Denver Pioneers (587) and the North Dakota State Bison (588).

At 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Hofstra Pride (525) and the Northeastern Huskies (526). Hofstra (7-6) has lost three straight games after their 90-87 loss at William & Mary on Saturday as a 2-point underdog. The Pride have then played 5 straight games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 5 straight games Over the Total after a point spread loss. Now Hofstra stays on the road where they have played 5 straight games Over the Total — and they have played 5 straight road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record at home. The Pride allow their home hosts to make 50.6% of their shots. That is one of the reasons why they have played 12 of their last 15 road games Over the Total as an underdog getting 6 or less points.

Northeastern (8-5) looks to build off their 81-70 won at James Madison on Saturday. The Huskies forced only 8 turnovers in that game — and they have then played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a game where they did not force more than 8 turnovers. Now Northeastern returns home where the Over is 3-1-1 in their last 5 games on their home court. The Huskies have also played a decisive 50 of their last 78 home games Over the Total when playing just their second game in a week. Additionally, Northeastern has played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. Lastly, in the last 13 meetings between these two teams at Northeastern, the game finished Over the Total 9 times. 25* CBB Colonial Athletic Association Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Hofstra Pride (525) and the Northeastern Huskies (526).

At 3:05 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (703) and the Golden State Warriors (704). Over six months after last year’s NBA Finals, it is safe to give away a trade secret: I was pounding the Over in the NBA Finals because the betting public and the oddsmakers were behind on appreciating the style of play that the Cavaliers were deciding to engage against the Warriors. While I expect more of the same for this early regular season game in this marquee television matchup, too much will have changed by the time the 2018 NBA Finals rolls around to ensure near automatic Overs if there is a third sequel between these two teams. The oddsmakers set the number rather high for Game One of the NBA Finals last year at 224.5 — and the Under hit with Cleveland shooting just 34.9% from the field in a Golden State blowout. The Total dropped to 222 and we pounded the Over in what turned out to be the Warriors’ 132-113 victory. The number jumped to 226.5 for Game Three and we still took the Over and got there with Golden State’s 118-113 victory. For Game Four, the number climbed to 227 yet we kept the Over going and won easily with the Cavs’ 137-116 victory. That finally prompted the oddsmakers to traverse the 230 Total threshold with the number placed at 231. We still took the Over and were rewarded with a 129-120 score with the Warriors closing out that series. With this Total for a regular season game with a reconfigured Cavs’ roster facing a Golden State team without Steph Curry who is injured, lets still pound the Over. The Warriors side of this equation is rudimentary. Golden State (26-7) saw their eleven-game winning streak snapped on Saturday in a 96-81 loss to Denver despite being an 8-point favorite. The Warriors shot just 38.6% from the field which was their worst shooting effort in their last twenty-two games. Expect Golden State to come out firing on all cylinders. Not only has Golden State played 6 straight games Over the Total after an upset loss but they have played 14 of their last 16 games Over the Total after an upset loss by at least 15 points as a home favorite. While the team certainly misses Curry, they still have plenty of offensive firepower with Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson along with Draymond Green and Shaun Livingston who are both listed as probable after dealing with nagging  injuries. The Warriors have played 4 straight games Over the Total against teams with a winning record.

Cleveland (24-9) should see LeBron James and company continue to deploy the same strategy they established last season to defeat the Warriors — especially with Golden State missing Curry and this Cavs’ team yet to incorporate Isaiah Thomas into their rotation (which might change everything). Cleveland’s basic plan is to use their depth to out-run and out-gun their opponents. They entered the NBA Finals last year scoring 120.7 points per 100 possessions which was the top mark in the last 40 years in the NBA Playoffs. They shoot tons of 3s — they entered last year’s Finals with 41.9% of their field goal attempts to be behind the arc. Granted, I am not even looking at what the numbers are this year for Cleveland because I don’t think it matters. This is how the Cavs wanted to play Golden State last year and they have not changed their roster in a way to change this formula. Defense was the biggest issue for this team last year — particularly in transition. Cleveland plans to sacrifice defense for easier transition points when the opponent does miss while they take and make more 3-pointers than their opponents. In other words, they try to out-do the Warriors’ style — and that is why we get huge numbers with the Over/Under that the Over still shatters. The Cavaliers enter this game having won six of their last seven games with their 115-112 win over Chicago back on December 21st. They shot 51.2% from the field in that win which was their fifth game in their last six contests where they made at least 50% of their shots. But Cleveland allowed the Bulls to make 55.3% of their shots after allowing the Bucks to make 52.4% of their shots in their previous game. Not coincidentally, the Cavs’ defense is missing one of their best defenders in Iman Shumpert who is dealing with a knee injury. The Cavaliers have failed to cover the point spread in five of their last six games — and they have then played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total after failing to cover the point spread in five or six of their last seven games. Cleveland has also paled 31 of their last 47 games Over the Total after a game where at least 220 combined points were scored. Furthermore, the Cavs have played 25 of their last 36 road games Over the Total with the number set in the 210 to 219 point range. Cleveland has played 4 straight games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. They have also played 9 of their last 12 games Over the Total against Western Conference opponents. Lastly, the Cavaliers have played 9 of their last 11 games Over the Total when playing with revenge. 25* NBA Pre-All Star Break ABC-TV Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (703) and the Golden State Warriors (704).

At 12:30 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Akron Zips (711) and the Davidson Wildcats (712) in the Diamond’s Head Classic. This game first consolation match on the last day of this holiday tournament in Hawai’i will be played at 7:30 AM local time to accommodate the early afternoon tipoff on the east coast for the ESPNU national audience. Expect both teams to be a bit sluggish for this one. Akron (6-4) has lost two straight games after their 64-62 loss to Princeton on Saturday as a 5.5-point underdog. The Zips have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a point spread win — and they have played 9 of their last 11 road games Under the Total after a point spread win. Additionally, Akron has played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total when playing their second game in three days — and they have played 6 straight games Under the Total when playing with one day or less between games. Furthermore, the Zips have played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total against teams outside the Mid-American Conference. And in their last 21 road games against non-conference foes, Akron has played 15 of these games Under the Total. And in their last 7 games played on a neutral court, the Zips have played 6 of these games Under the Total.

Davidson (4-6) has lost three straight games with their 79-71 upset loss at Hawai’i who is the host team for this event on Saturday. The Wildcats shot just 38.1% from the field in that loss. While I sometimes expect the Regression Gods to swoop in an correct outlier efforts like that, in this case, I suspect those Gods will be busy elsewhere and not appearing in Hawai’i before 9:30 AM local time. As it is, Davidson has played 9 of their last 13 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and the Under is 18-8-1 in their last 27 games after a point spread setback. Additionally, the Wildcats have played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total after an upset loss. Davidson has covered the point spread once in their last three games — and they have played 22 of their last 30 games Under the Total when they have failed to cover the point spread in two of their last three games. Their game with Hawai’i did finish Over the 141 point Total — but they have played 22 of their last 30 games Under the Total after a game that finished above the number. Lastly, the Wildcats have played 12 of their last 16 games Under the Total as a favorite on a neutral court by 6.5 to 12 points. 25* CBB Diamond’s Head Classic Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Akron Zips (711) and the Davidson Wildcats (712).

At 7:05 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Chicago Bulls (503) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (504). Chicago (10-20) has been on fire since getting power forward Nikolo Mirotic back on the court after missing the start of the season due to injuries sustained when he got into a fight with teammate Bobby Portis. The Bulls are undefeated since Mirotic returned to the lineup — and they have won seven straight games after their 112-94 win over Orlando last night as a 5.5-point favorite. Chicago is scoring 111.0 PPG over their last five games while making 47.7% of their shots as they clearly are buoyed with Mirotic’s presence down low. For the season, the Bulls are scoring 99.3 PPG on a 43.5% shooting percentage so Mirotic’s impact has been impressive. The Magic shot just 39.3% from the field against Chicago which was the Bulls’ best defensive effort in their last eighteen games — so they are likely to come back to Earth tonight when facing LeBron James and company at least on the defensive end of the court. As it is, Chicago has palyed 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a point spread victory. The Bulls have also played 8 of their last 11 games Over the Total when playing without rest and none of their players logged in more than 29 minutes last night in their easy victory. Chicago goes on the road for this contest where they have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total. The Bulls have also played 4 of their last 5 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court.

Cleveland (23-9) looks to bounce-back from their 119-116 upset loss in Milwaukee as a that snapped a five-game winning streak. The Cavaliers have then played 18 of their last 26 games Over the Total after an upset loss. Cleveland has also played 29 of their last 40 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 13 of their last 17 games Over the Total after a loss decided by 6 points or less. The Cavaliers have shot at leas 50% from the field in four of their last five games but they have also failed to cover the point spread in four of those last five games. Cleveland has then played 15 of their last 19 home games Over the Total after failing to cover the point spread in at least three of their last four games. The Over is also 15-5-1 in the Cavaliers’ last 21 home games against teams with a losing record on the road. Over those last five games, the Cavs are scoring 115.0 PPG on 51.2% shooting — but they have allowed those five opponents to shoot 47.4% from the field while scoring 108.8 PPG themselves. Moving forward, Cleveland has played 20 of their last 27 games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% overall. And in their last 36 games as a double-digit favorite, the Cavaliers have played 24 of these games Over the Total. 25* NBA Pre-All Star Break Central Division Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Chicago Bulls (503) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (504).

At 7:35 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Utah Jazz (811) and the Boston Celtics (812). Boston (24-6) has won seven of their last nine games with their 124-118 win over Denver on Wednesday. The Celtics have then played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 straight games Over the Total after a narrow win by 6 points or less. The Over is also 9-2-1 in their last 12 games when playing with one day of rest. Now this team stays at home where they are averaging 106.5 PPG — and they have played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total. Boston has also played 19 of their last 25 home games Over the Total after winning six or seven of their last eight games. And the Over is 25-10-1 in the Celtics’ last 36 home games against teams with a losing record on the road. The team is likely to get Al Horford back on the court as he is listed as probable with his knee injury. That helps them on offense — and the fact that Marcus Morris will still be out with his knee issue takes away one of their better post defenders. Boston has played 11 of their last 15 games Over the Total as a favorite laying 3.5 to 9.5 points. Additionally, the Celtics have played 15 of their last 20 games Over the Total with the number set in the 190 to 199.5 point range. And in their last 5 games against Western Conference opponents, the game has finished Over the Total 4 times.

Utah (13-15) has lost four straight games with their 103-100 loss in Chicago to the Bulls as a 5.5-point favorite. The Jazz have then played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a point spread loss. This team looks to have Joe Johnson back as he is listed as probable despite his wrist injury to give the Jazz another offensive weapon. Now they stay on the road out east — and they are allowing home teams to shoot 48.4% from the field. Utah has played 7 of their last 9 road games Over the Total. The Jazz have also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. Utah has played 7 of their last 10 games Over the Total against Eastern Conference opponents. And in the last 33 meetings between these two teams, the Over is 21-10-3. 25* NBA Pre-All Star Break Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Utah Jazz (811) and the Boston Celtics (812).

At 8:05 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Sacramento Kings (509) and the New Orleans Pelicans (510). New Orleans (13-12) has won two of their last three games with their 123-114 win over Denver on Wednesday. The Pelicans have then played 4 straight games Over the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game — and they have played 5 straight games Over the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last contest. The team has been without Anthony Davis for their last three games as he is dealing with a groin injury. The Pelicans hoped he could play tonight but he has been downgraded to doubtful for this contest. His absence probably hurts New Orleans more on defense. Over their last five games with three without Davis, the Pelicans are allowing 117.8 PPG while seeing their opponents shoot 49.1% from the field as compared to the 110.2 PPG they are allowing this season along with an opponents’ field goal goal percentage of 46.2%. But New Orleans is still getting plenty of offensive production from DeMarcus Cousins, Jru Holiday and company. Over their last five games, the Pelicans are scoring 114.2 PPG while shooting 50% from the field which are both well above their 109.4 PPG and 48.3% shooting percentage for the season. Moving forward, New Orleans has played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. And while this will be their third straight game at home in the Big Easy, the Pelicans have played 17 of their last 21 home games Over the Total after playing their last two games at home. Additionally, New Orleans has played 5 of their last 6 games on their home court Over the Total. And in their last 5 games against fellow Western Conference opponents, the Pelicans have played all 5 games Over the Total.

Sacramento (7-17) has lost two straight games with their 101-95 loss at Cleveland on Wednesday. The Kings have then played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss. Sacramento has also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. The Kings have also played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total against an opponent that allowed at least 100 points in their last contest. This team will again be without forward Willie Cauley-Stein who is out with a back injury — and this team misses his presence of the defensive end of the court. Over their last five games, Sacramento is allowing their opponents to make 50.3% of their shots. But this team is also finding a rhythm on offense as they are scoring 100.6 PPG on 48.0% shooting over those last five games which is 5 PPG more than their season average and well above their 44.3% shooting percentage for the season. The Kings lost by a 109-104 margin in their previous game in Milwaukee last Saturday — and they have played 21 of their last 29 road games Over the Total after losing their last two games by 6 points or less. Sacramento has also played 7 of their last 10 games on the road Over the Total. And in their last 12 trips to New Orleans to play the Pelicans, the game finished Over the Total 9 times. Together, these team trends produce our specific 91-24 combined angle for this situation. 25* NBA Western Conference Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Sacramento Kings (509) and the New Orleans Pelicans (510).

At 10:35 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (503) and the Phoenix Suns (504). Houston (11-4) saw their six-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday with their 1219-113 loss to Toronto despite being a 6.5-point favorite in that game. Chris Paul may take the court again for the Rockets which does not shape much into the rationale for this play (outside of helping this Houston team ensure they always have a potent point guard on the court since the original plan was to have one of these two stars on the court at all times this season). The Rockets shot just 41.8% from the field against the Raptors which was their worst shooting effort in their last seven games. Expect Houston to get back to their torrid shooting pace as they are scoring 119.2 PPG over their last five games while nailing 48% of their shots even with their poor performance on Tuesday during that span. But the Rockets’ style of play does allow the opposition to find easy shots on their own. Over their last five games, Houston is allowing 108.6 PPG while seeing these opponents make 48.5% of their shots. The Rockets have played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total after a double-digit loss at home. Houston has also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. The Rockets have also played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. Additionally, Houston has played a decisive 38 of their last 53 games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% — and they have played 6 straight Overs against teams with a losing record. And in their last 24 road games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on their home court, the Rockets have played 17 of these games Over the Total.

Phoenix (5-10) has lost six of their last seven games with their 100-93 loss to the Lakers on Monday. This Suns team likes to play at a fast-pace with their young team — but they don’t play much defense. Over their last five games, Phoenix is scoring 106.0 PPG — but they are surrendering 112.4 PPG. This team has played 11 of their last 12 games Over the Total when playing with two days of rest. The Suns have also played 22 of their last 30 games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. And in their last 4 home games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road, Phoenix has played all 4 of these games Over the Total. Lastly, these two teams have played 6 straight games Over the Total — and they have played 8 of their last 9 games Over the Total when facing each other in Phoenix. 25* NBA Thursday TNT Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (503) and the Phoenix Suns (504).

At 8:05 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Memphis Grizzlies (705) and the Milwaukee Bucks (706). Memphis (7-5) has lost four of their last six games with their 111-96 loss at Houston on Saturday. The Grizzlies have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. Despite moving on from Zach Randolph and defensive wizard Tony Allen in the offseason who were the face of their “Grit-n-Grind” identity, this Memphis team still is playing great defense. Opposing teams are shooting just 42.6% from the field this season. Now this team stays on the road for their fifth straight contest — and they have played 14 of their last 19 games Under the Total after playing at least three straight games on the road. The Under is also 4-1-1 in their last 6 games when playing with one day of rest. Furthermore, the Under is 11-5-1 in the Grizzlies last 17 games when playing on the road. And in their last 7 games with the Total set in the 200 to 209.5 point range, the game finished Under the Total 5 times.

Milwaukee (6-6) has won two straight games with their 98-90 win over the Lakers on Saturday as a 6.5-point favorite. The Bucks have then played 4 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Milwaukee has also seen the Under go 15-5-1 in their last 21 games after a point spread victory. Additionally, the Under is 9-2-1 in their last 12 games when playing with one day of rest. The Bucks forced 21 Laker turnovers in that game which was ten more than they committed — and they have then played 4 straight games Under the Total after committing at least ten fewer turnovers than their opponents in their last game. Milwaukee stays at home where they have played 4 straight games Under the Total. Furthermore, the Under is 8-2-1 in their last 11 games against teams with a winning record. Lastly, the Under is 6-0-1 in the last 7 meetings between these two teams in Milwaukee. Together, these team trends produces our specific 93-24-6 combined angle for this situation. 25* NBA Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Memphis Grizzlies (705) and the Milwaukee Bucks (706).

At 9:00 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (709) and the Golden State Warriors (710). Cleveland (64-35) made a huge withdrawal from the Bank of the Regression Gods on Friday by collecting on the plethora of missed open shots in the first three games of this series en route to their epic 137-116 victory over the Warriors. The Cavaliers broke a host of NBA Finals records including most points in the first quarter (49), most points by halftime (86) — and their 115 points after three quarters were more than they what they had scored in any of the first three games of this series. Cleveland made 59.1% of their uncontested shots in Game Four after making host 38.4% of their uncontested shots in the first three games of this series. And most of those shots were from behind the arc — the Cavaliers became the first team in NBA Finals history to take more 3-point shots than 2-point shots. That is the simplest way to dissect why Golden State has a 3-1 lead in this series. In Game Four, Cleveland players not named LeBron James or Kyrie Irving combined to make 14 of their 25 (56%) 3-pointers. It is that simple. Golden State (82-16) scored 116 points on their losing effort despite shooting just 44.8% from the field which was their second worst shooting performance in their last nine games. The Warriors also made just 11 of 39 shots from downtown (28.2%). Draymond Green’s 16 shots were more than both Stephen Curry (13) and Klay Thompson (11). And after averaging 33 PPG in transition in the first three games of this series, the Warriors managed only 7 points in transition. So while it would be foolish to expect the Cavs to come close to replicating their offensive performance from Game Four, it is very reasonable to expect Golden State to play much better on offense and surpass the 116 points they scored on Friday. In a series that is fast-paced with plenty of 3-point attempts and plenty of trips to the charity stripe, I still don’t think the oddsmakers adjustment to (finally) place the Total in the low-230s is high enough. After four games, Cleveland is 77 of 100 (77%) which translates to a 19.3-25 FT/FTA per game average. Golden State has made 82 of 100 free throws for a 20.6-25 FT/FTA per game average. These teams are combining to tack off 40 points from the Total just from the charity stripe. The 3-point numbers are even more fascinating (as I tweeted out this morning). Cleveland has made 55 of 149 shots from behind the arc for a 36.9% average. Golden State has made 57 of 148 shots from the 3-point line for a 38.6% mark. Both teams are averaging 13.8 and 14.3 made 3s per game on 37.3 and 37 shots per game from behind the arc. In this closeout game which should see both teams starters on the floor until the waning moments even if one team is dominating, expect another high-scoring affair.

Cleveland has played 10 of their last 14 games Over the Total after scoring at least 125 points in their last game. The Cavaliers have also played 22 of their last 33 games Over the Total after a game where at least 225 combined points were scored. Cleveland has also played 10 of their last 12 games Over the Total after a game where at least a combined 245 points were scored. And in their last 5 games when playing with two days of rest, the Cavs have played 4 of these games Over the Total. Golden State has played 13 of their last 17 games Over the Total when playing with two days of rest. The Warriors have also played 4 of their last 5 home games Over the Total against teams with a winning record on the road. And in their last 21 games after scoring at least 100 points in their last game, Golden State has played 16 of these games Over the Total. 25* NBA Monday Night O/U Special Feature with Over the Total in the game between the Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (709) and the Golden State Warriors (710).

At 9:00 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (707) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (708). Cleveland (63-35) finds themselves on the brink of elimination after blowing a 6-point lead late in the 4th quarter in their 118-113 loss on Wednesday as a 3-point underdog. With the second straight game where at least 231 combined points were scored, the Total has risen to the 228 range. With a number that high, it does not take much defense or slowing of the pace to produce an Under. But do not expect the Cavaliers to mail-in this effort. Cleveland will be playing for pride on their home court — and the opportunity to ruin the Warriors attempt to make history with the NBA’s first perfect 16-0 playoff mark should ensure a fast start for the underdogs. While this series can be dissected to death, my primary take is quite simple: Cleveland is not making baskets. On Wednesday, they shot only 44.4% from the field while making just 12 of their 44 shots from the 3-point line (27.3%). In Game One, the Caves made only 34.9% of their shots while making 11 of their 31 shots from the 3-point line for a 35.5% mark that turned out to be their best so far in these playoffs. In Game Two, Cleveland shot 45% from the field (their best mark in this series) but made only 8 of 29 of their 3-pointers (27.6%). Credit the Warriors’ defense — but keep in mind they are primarily focused on stopping LeBron James and Kyrie Irving who combined for 77 points on Wednesday. There is no question that Zaza Pachulia and the rest of the Warriors have completely neutered Tristan Thompson. But the Cavaliers’ supporting cast continue to miss open 3-point shots which has been the biggest difference in this series. In Game Three, they made only 3 of their 18 corner 3-point attempts while making just 7 of their 30 uncontested 3-point shots! Now with the pressure off this team facing a near-impossible 0-3 deficit to overcome, I do expect some of the 3-pointers to find the net rather than the rim. I won’t re-quote the analytics entering this series for the Cavaliers that I have referenced previously — but suffice to say that their Offensive Efficiency and effective field goal percentage was not just better than the Warriors this postseason but the best mark in the NBA Playoffs over the last forty years. That 44.4% mark in Game Three was their second worst offensive performance in their last twelve games — with the worst being Game One of the NBA Finals when they were playing off the rust of six days rest. This remains a team that shoots 48.6% on their home court while also making 39.1% of their shots from behind the arc. The Cavs’ open jumpers — and 3-pointers — are bound to fall sooner rather than later.

Golden State (82-15) does seem unstoppable on offense against the suspect defense that the Cavaliers offer. I would not be surprised to see James spend less time (attempting to) defend Kevin Durant to save his energy on offense — and that should help our Over on both ends of the court. The Warriors are scoring 121.0 PPG in this series despite making more than 48.5% of their shots just once. One of the things that is pushing these higher scores is that both teams are simply not missing their free throws. Golden State is making 86.0% of their free throws while averaging over 21 freebies per game. Cleveland is making 81.2% of their free throws while averaging 23 trips to the charity stripe. In Game Four, the pace will still be fast, both teams will make their free throws — and both teams have great shooting efforts still in their pockets to offer. Lastly, the team trends regarding the respective personalities of both teams support the Over. The Warriors have played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a point spread victory. Golden State has also now covered the point spread in six straight games — and they have then played 22 of their last 33 games Over the Total after covering the point spread in six or seven of their last eight games. The Warriors have also played 4 straight road games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. Cleveland has seen the Over go 19-7-1 in their last 27 games at home — and that includes playing four of their last five home games Over the Total against teams with a winning record on the road. Additionally, the Cavs have played 23 of their last 34 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 20 of their last 30 games Over the Total after two-straight point spread losses. Furthermore, Cleveland has played 21 of their last 32 games Over the Total after a game where at least 225 combined points were scored. And in their last 13 games played with one day of rest, the Cavs have played 9 of these games Over the Total. 25* NBA Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Over the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (707) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (708). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 9:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (725) and the San Antonio Spurs (726). San Antonio (69-28) decided to play small-ball on Saturday in Game Three of this series which resulted in them being at their most competitive against the Warriors since losing Kawhi Leonard to his left ankle injury. However, the Spurs still lost that game by a 120-108 score as a 9-point underdog. Kyle Anderson was inserted into the starting lineup — and while he is not a prolific scorer per se, he did help San Antonio score points through his athleticism. San Antonio forced 21 turnovers which instigated 25 points — and they also scored 23 points on the fast break. With LaMarcus Aldridge still struggling on offense being very uncomfortable in the role of the team’s primary scorer, look for head coach Gregg Popovich to continue to play small ball with perhaps Aldridge seeing more time on the bench. Small-ball means faster play and more offense for the Spurs (and the Warriors) — and that helps our Over even if Aldridge and his disastrous play on defense is on the bench. As it is, San Antonio has played 20 of their last 28 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 8 of their last 9 games Over the Total after a point spread loss. Furthermore, the Spurs have played 19 of their last 27 games Over the Total after a double-digit loss. San Antonio has also played 10 of their last 12 games Over the Total when avenging a double-digit loss. Additionally, the Spurs have played 5 straight games on their home court Over the Total. And while San Antonio has failed to cover the point spread in four of their last six games, they have then played 8 of their last 9 home games Over the Total after failing to cover the point spread in four or five of their last six games.

Golden State (78-15) is more than happy to play small-ball. Their “Death” Lineups feature Draymond Green playing center while adding another guard on the court — usually in Andre Iguodala who did play on Saturday after dealing with a knee injury. The Warriors scored 120 points in that game despite Stephen Curry scoring only 21 points while being in foul trouble. He has an elbow issue but is listed as probable tonight. Kevin Durant has been unstoppable — he leads the NBA with a 57.9% shooting percentage on contested shots in the playoffs. Golden State has played 4 straight games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a point spread victory. The Warriors have also played 19 of their last 27 games Over the Total after two straight double-digit victories. And in their last 7 games on the road, Golden State has played 6 of these games Over the Total. 25* NBA Western Conference Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Over the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (725) and the San Antonio Spurs (726). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:35 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (501) and the Boston Celtics (502). Boston (61-35) was emotionally flat in the first half of the opening game of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Celtics missed all eight of their open 3-point shots in the first-half en route to making only 12 of 38 shots from behind the arc (31.8%) in a 117-104 loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday as a 3.5-point underdog. Isaiah Thomas scored only 17 points in that game. Expect this Boston team that makes 36.1% from the 3-point line on their home court to shoot better from behind the arc. The Celtics should also come out with much more energy tonight considering the urgency they will face in needing to win this game before traveling to Cleveland to play Games Three and Four. Boston can exploit the Cavaliers who were last in the regular season in transition defense. The Celtics have played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss. The Over is also 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after a point spread setback. And in their last 16 home games, the Over is 12-3-1 — and that includes being a perfect 7-0 in these playoffs.

Cleveland (60-31) overwhelmed the Celtics despite making just 11 of their 31 shots from the 3-point line. While that 35.5% shooting mark is respectable, it is nowhere close to the ceiling regarding what this team can produce. The Cavaliers entered this series making 43.4% of their 3-point shots in the playoffs while a whopping 59.3% of their shots from the field in these playoffs have been from downtown. Kyle Korver was just 1 of 6 from behind the arc after entering this series making 48.5% of his 3-pointers. J.R. Smith missed his lone 3-pointer after entering this series making 44.1% of his 3-pointers. Instead, LeBron began that game by pounding the Celtics down low by scoring 26 points in the paint and shooting 81.2% on those shots on the way to scoring 38 points. Brad Stevens will likely have to double-team James — and that opens up all the 3-point shooting that this Cleveland team has carefully assembled since LeBron returned to Cleveland. The Cavs also entered this series with an effective field goal percentage of 70.7% on catch-and-shoot jump shots in the playoffs — and these are the shots that they will have once James dishes out of double-team situations. This game will be a up-and-down shootout on both ends of the court. As it is, Cleveland has played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after a straight-up win. The Cavaliers have also played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. Cleveland has also played 8 of their last 11 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. And in their last 33 road games as a favorite, the Cavaliers have played 23 of these games Over the Total. 25* NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (501) and the Boston Celtics (502).

At 8:35 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (509) and the Utah Jazz (510). Golden State (73-15) has now won seven straight games with their 115-104 win over the Jazz on Thursday as a 13.5-point favorite. The Warriors have then played 12 of their last 17 games Under the Total after a double-digit win. Golden State has also played 23 of their last 31 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. Furthermore, while the Warriors have failed to cover the point spread in the first two games of this series, they have then played a decisive 42 of their last 60 games Under the Total after failing to cover the point spread in two straight games. Golden State has won their last three games by at least 12 points — and they have then played 14 of their last 19 games Under the Total after winning at least three straight gams by double-digits. And while the Warriors have scored at least 106 points in seven straight games, they have then played 13 of their last 18 road games Under the Total after scoring at least 105 points in five straight games. Additionally, Golden State has played 25 of the last 35 road games Under the Total which includes twelve of their last seventeen games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. And in their last 26 games against teams with a winning record, the Under is 19-6-1.

Utah (55-36) saw the Warriors shoot 49.4% from the field on Thursday which was their worst defensive effort in their last six games. Their point guard George Hill remains questionable with his toe injury — and even if he takes the court tonight, his effectiveness will not be at 100%. The Jazz did score 104 points with Shelvin Mack starting at point guard — but they have then played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. Furthermore, the Under is 6-1-1 in Utah’s last 8 games against teams with a winning record. Lastly, the Under is 24-8-2 in the last 34 meetings between these two teams including a 10-4-1 mark when playing in Salt Lake City. 25* NBA 2nd Round Western Conference Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (509) and the Utah Jazz (510). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:05 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Boston Celtics (505) and the Washington Wizards (506). Boston (59-31) shot 51.1% from the field for the second straight game to rally from a late hole to force overtime and defeat the Wizards by a 129-119 score. Isaiah Thomas was unstoppable in the 4th quarter and overtime by scoring 29 points during that span and 53 points overall — and this Washington team that ranked a lowly 20th during the regular season in Defensive Efficiency. As it is, the Celtics are 5-2-1 in their last 8 games after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. Boston has also played 13 of their last 16 games Over the Total after scoring at least 120 points in their last game — and they have played 4 straight Overs after scoring at least 125 points in their last contest. And while the Celtics have covered the points spread in six straight games, they have then played 9 of their last 10 games Over the Total after covering the point spread in three straight contests. Furthermore, the Over is 9-4-1 in Boston’s last 14 games when playing with one day of rest. And in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record, the Celtics have played 5 of these games Over the Total.

Washington (53-37) has not only seen the Over go 17-8-1 in their last 26 games after allowing at least 100 points but they have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after allowing at least 125 points in their last contest. The Wizards simply do not have the defenders to slow down Thomas — but they will want to continue these fast-paced games to force turnovers and create more scoring opportunities for themselves. But they should continue to find success on the offensive end of the court returning home. Washington has played 11 of their last 13 home games Over the Total after playing at least two straight games on the road. The Over is also 4-1-1 in their last 6 games when playing with one day of rest. And in their last 5 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%, the Wizards have played 4 of these games Over the Total. 25* NBA 2nd Round Playoff Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Boston Celtics (505) and the Washington Wizards (506).

At 9:35 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (733) and the San Antonio Spurs (734). Houston (60-28) nailed 22 shots from behind the arc on Monday en route to their 126-99 win over the Spurs to take a 1-0 lead in this series as a 6-point underdog. The Rockets have then seen the Over go 9-4-1 in their last 14 games after a point spread win. Houston will want to push the pace as fast as possible again tonight in Mike D’Antoni’s system as they hope to tire out this aging San Antonio team. The Rockets scored 112.8 PPG in the first-round of the playoffs while proudly being a beacon for the analytics community with 84% of their shots either being inside of 3-feet to the basket or from 3-point land. And Houston made only 28% of their 3-pointers against  the Thunder — so the ceiling is high for this team if they can get closer to their 36% shooting mark from behind the arc. The Rockets have now won six of their last seven games — and they have played 24 of their last 36 games Over the Total after winning four of their last five games. The Over is also 3-1-1 in their last 5 games against familiar Southwest Division opponents. And in their last 8 games in the Western Conference Semifinals, Houston has played 7 of these games Over the Total.

San Antonio (65-24) shot just 36.9% from the field in Game One which was their worst offensive effort in 38 games going back to February 6th in a game at Memphis where they shot 36.8%. That defensive performance for the Rockets was their best in 36 contests going all the way back to January 31st against Sacramento. The Spurs will shoot the basketball better tonight on their home court. Gregg Popovich’s teams have played 13 of their last 16 games Over the Total after a loss. Furthermore, his teams have also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after a double-digit loss — and they have played 18 of their last 26 games Over the Total after a double-digit loss at home. With the San Antonio big men getting exposed by James Harden on the switch after their constant pick-and-rolls, Popovich will have to play more smaller lineups — and that should continue to push the pace in the direction that the Rockets wish to play. Additionally, the Spurs have now played 5 straight games Over the Total against Southwest Division opponents. Lastly, in the last 7 meetings between these two teams in San Antonio, the Over is 5-1-1. 25* NBA 2nd Round Southwest Division Playoff Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (733) and the San Antonio Spurs (734). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 10:35 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Clippers (507) and the Utah Jazz (508). Utah (54-33) has significantly upped its game on the defensive end of the court with the return of their rim protector Rudy Gobert. The Jazz held the Clippers to just 42% shooting on Tuesday en route to their 96-92 victory as a 3-point underdog to help them take a 3-2 lead in this series. That came on the heels of holding Los Angeles to just 44% shooting in the fourth game of this series. Gobert is one of the top candidates to win Defensive Player of the Year honors this season after holding opponents to just a 43.9% shooting clip at the rim with contested shots during the regular season. Now with the Jazz having the opportunity to close this series out on their home court, expect a lower scoring contest with the stakes so high. Utah has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. But this can be a team that struggles to score points. They were 27th in the NBA during the regular season with a 100.7 PPG scoring average. Quin Snyder’s team also plays the slowest pace in the league. Furthermore, in the Jazz’s last 75 games as a favorite in the 3.5-9.5 point range, Utah has played 46 of these games Under the Total.

Los Angeles (53-34) will have to rely on playing better on defense with Blake Griffin out for the rest of the playoffs with his toe injury. The Clippers did hold the Jazz to just 43.2% shooting on Tuesday. Doc Rivers will want this game to be a grind where things remain close which will create the opportunity for their veteran experience along with the superstar talent of Chris Paul to force a decisive seventh game on their home court. Los Angeles has covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. The Clippers have also covered the point spread in 13 of their last 16 games when playing with two days of rest. Lastly, because this is just the Clippers’ fourth game in ten days, the Under is supported by a historical angle that has been 62% effective since 1996. In games with the Total set in the 190-199.5 point range, when the road team has a winning percentage in the 60-75% range and is not playing more than their fourth game over the last ten days — and is now facing a team with a winning record — these games finished Under the Total in 177 of the last 289 situations where these conditions applied. 25* NBA 1st Round Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Clippers (507) and the Utah Jazz (508). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Washington Wizards (519) and the Atlanta Hawks (520). Washington (51-34) allowed the Hawks to shoot 49.4% from the field on Saturday in their 116-98 loss in Game Three of this series. That was the Wizards’ second worst defensive effort over their last seven contests. This team must increase their pressure on the Hawks’ point guard Dennis Schroder who has averaged 25 PPG in this series after registering 27 points in his team’s Game Three victory. Washington also shot just 41.6% from the field in their first road game in this series. Furthermore, the Under is supported by a historical angle that has been 71% effective since 1996. This is Washington’s just fifth game in the last fourteen days — and in games with the Total set at least at 200 involving a road team with a winning percentage in the 51-60% range playing no more than their fifth game in fourteen days now facing a team with a winning record, these games finished Under the Total in 46 of the last 65 situations where these conditions applied.

Atlanta (44-41) has now played 14 of their last 18 games Under the Total against Southeast Division opponents despite Game Three finishing above the 211 Total. Moving forward, the Hawks have played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. Atlanta has also still played 10 of their last 11 home games Under the Total against teams with a losing record on the road. Expect the Hawks to not shoot nearly as well tonight considering that their best field goal percentage in their previous three games was just a 43.6% mark. Lastly, Atlanta has played 15 of their last 21 games Under the Total in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. Together, these team trends produce our specific 46-12 combined angle for this situation. 25* NBA Southeast Division Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Washington Wizards (519) and the Atlanta Hawks (520). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 9:35 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the San Antonio Spurs (713) and the Memphis Grizzlies (714). San Antonio (63-21) seized a 2-0 lead in this series on Monday with their 96-82 win over the Grizzlies as a 10.5-point favorite. The Spurs have then played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total when playing with two days of rest. San Antonio has also played 4 of their last 5 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record at home.

Memphis (43-41) should get to the free throw line more tonight after head coach Dave Fizdale called out the referees for being too one-sided with their calls in Game Two. As it is, the Grizzlies have played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total when playing with two days of rest. The Over is also 8-3-1 in their last 12 home games. Without the services of Tony Allen who is out with a leg injury, this Memphis team lacks a defender on the wing who can slow down Kawhi Leonard who has completely had his way on offense in this series. Lastly, because the Grizzlies average 26 shot attempts from behind the arc, the Over is supported by an empirical angle that has been 69% effective over the last five seasons. In games played in April with the Total set in the 180-189.5 point range, when the home team averages at least 18 shots from the 3-point line, these games finished Over the Total in 57 of the last 83 situations where these conditions applied. 10* NBA San Antonio-Memphis TNT O/U Special Over the Total in the game between the San Antonio Spurs (713) and the Memphis Grizzlies (714). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 7:05 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Milwaukee Bucks (525) and the Toronto Raptors (526). Toronto (51-32) lost their ninth straight opening game to the postseason on Sunday with their 97-83 loss to the Bucks as a 7.5-point underdog. Scoring was a problem for this team as they shot just 36% from the field while managing only 32 points in the second half. This Milwaukee team is underrated on the defensive end of the court particularly with Khris Middleton healthy and contributing. The Raptors must get back into this series by playing harder on the defensive end of their end. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 28 points in the victory with the Raptors head coach Dwane Casey declaring that his team must get back in transition to limit the Greek superstar’s offensive fireworks. With the acquisitions of P.J. Tucker and Serge Ibaka at the trade deadline, this Toronto team is significantly better on defense. After allowing 106.0 points per 100 possessions before they both arrived, that number dropped to allowing 102.3 points per 100 possessions which was 5th best in the league over that final span of games. The Raptors should comeback with a strong defensive effort. They have played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 13 of their last 17 games Under the Total after a point spread setback. Additionally, Toronto has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a double-digit loss. Moving forward, the Raptors have played 12 of their last 14 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record. And in their last 8 games in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, Toronto has played 7 of these games Under the Total.

Milwaukee (43-40) has now won three of their last four games — and the Under is 11-5-1 in their last 17 games after a straight-up win. The Bucks have also played 10 of their last 13 games Under the Total after a point spread win — and they have played 5 straight games Under the Total after a win by at least ten points. Furthermore, the Under is 5-0-1 in Milwaukee’s last 6 games on the road — and the Under is 18-7-1 in the Bucks’ last 26 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home. Lastly, in the last 6 meetings between these two teams in Toronto, the game finished Under the Total 5 times. 25* NBA 1st Round Eastern Conference Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Milwaukee Bucks (525) and the Toronto Raptors (526). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 9:35 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Memphis Grizzlies (519) and the San Antonio Spurs (520). San Antonio (62-21) trailed by 13 points in the first quarter on Saturday — but this team stepped up their level of play to go on a 19-0 run to close out the 3rd quarter and begin the 4th quarter to pull away for an easy 111-82 victory. The Spurs have then played 16 of their last 20 home games Over the Total after a win by at least 20 points. San Antonio has also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. With the Grizzlies missing their defensive spark plug in Tony Allen, the Spurs were able to shoot 53.2% from the floor. Allen remains out in this series with his leg injury so San Antonio should continue to have their way on offense. They have now played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against Western Conference opponents.

Memphis (43-40) shot just 39.2% in this loss despite center Marc Gasol having his way with 32 points. Expect a better game from point guard Mike Conley who scored only 13 points after going scoreless after the 8 minute mark of the 2nd quarter. The Grizzlies still have the reputation of being a grinding defensive team — but with Gasol now shooting more 3s than ever and Zack Randolph coming off the bench, that is not necessarily the identity of David Fiddle’s team. Memphis shot just 39.3% in their last regular season game against the Mavericks in a 100-93 loss to Dallas. The Grizzlies have played their last two games Over the Total with both those games finishing with a combined score of 193. Yet this Total has moved down from opening at 190 to now being listed in the 188.5 point range. Not only have the Grizzlies have played 19 of their last 26 road games Over the Total after a game that finished above the number but they have also played 10 of their last 12 road games after playing at least two straight games Over the Total. Lastly, Memphis has played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against Western Conference opponents. 25* NBA Southwest Division Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Memphis Grizzlies (519) and the San Antonio Spurs (520). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 7:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Indiana Pacers (701) and the Philadelphia 76ers (702). Indiana (40-40) shot 59.3% from the field — the best offensive effort for them this entire season — en route to their 127-112 win in Orlando on Saturday as a 4.5-point favorite. Regression on the offensive end of the court for this team is very likely. The Pacers score only 102.9 PPG when on the road on 45.3% shooting. They have played 30 of their last 45 games Under the Total after shooting at least 55% from the field. Indiana has also played 4 straight games Under the Total after scoring at least 125 points in their last game. And in their last 17 games after a point spread win, the Pacers have played 12 of these games Under the Total. This team still has plenty to play for — they are one game behind the Bucks in the 6th spot in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt but only one game ahead of both the Bulls and the Heat who both own the tie-breaker against them if they do end up with the same record after Wednesday. So this Indiana team could still manage to be on the outside looking in with these playoffs. Moving forward, they have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40%. And in their last 8 road games against teams with a losing record at home, the Pacers have played 7 of these games Under the Total.

Philadelphia (28-52) has lost six straight games with their 90-82 loss to Milwaukee on Saturday as a 7.5-point underdog. The 76ers shot just 35.1% from the field against the Bucks with injuries severely impacting the ability of this team to shoot the basketball into the net. Six season-ending injuries help explain why Philly has shot only 35.7% from the field over the last two games while making just 23.4% of their shots from behind the arc. Offense was already an issue for this team when considering that they will be finishing last in the NBA in Offensive Efficiency for the fourth straight season. The 76ers have failed to cover the point spread in five of their last six games — and they have played 28 of their last 41 games Under the Total after failing to cover the point spread in four of their last five games.

At 7:05 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Brooklyn Nets (701) and the Philadelphia 76ers (702). Brooklyn (18-59) has won two straight games with their 91-82 win over Atlanta on Sunday. The Nets have then seen the Under go 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after a straight-up win. Brooklyn has also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. This Nets team is playing better basketball as of late fueled by improved play on the defensive end of the court. The have the best statistical defense in the entire league over the last two weeks while allowing their last five opponents to shoot just 41.3% from the field. But this Brooklyn team is also making only 29% of their 3-point shots over that span. Moving forward, the Nets have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40%. Brooklyn has also played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total when listed in the +/- 3-point range.

The 76ers have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Philadelphia has also played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. This team continues to be ravaged with injuries with now Jahlil Okafor and Robert Covington joining Jerryd Bayless, Joel Embiid and, of course, their number-one draft choice Ben Simmons out the year with season-sending injuries. This attrition helps explain why this team is making only 43.5% of their shots over their last five games. Now the 76ers return home where they have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total. And in their last 12 home games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road, the Under is 9-2-1.

At 8:45 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Oregon Ducks (813) and the North Carolina Tar Heels (814). Oregon (33-5) held Kansas to just 35% from the field en route to their 74-60 win last Saturday. The Ducks flexed their defensive muscles in that game by holding a potent Jayhawks offense that had averaged 96 PPG in their three previous Tournament games to scoring just those 60 points in 64 possessions. In the Ducks’ four tournament games, they have averaged 66 possessions so it is likely that head coach Dana Altman will look to slow this game down where both teams do not have more than 65 possessions apiece — and that makes the Under look rather appetizing with the Total set in the low 150s. Oregon has played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total with the Total set in the 150-159.5 point range. The Ducks have also played 12 of their last 14 games played on a neutral court with the Total set in the 150-159.5 point range. And while the Tar Heels average 66 shots per game, Oregon has played 12 of their last 15 games Under the Total against teams that average at least 62 shots per game — and that includes 7 straight Unders when those games are the road.

North Carolina (31-7) held Kentucky to just a 41.5% from the field in their 75-73 nail biter on Sunday. The Under is then 10-2-1 in their last 13 games after a straight-up win. The Tar Heels are struggling with their 3-point shooting as they have made only 30% of their shots from behind the arc in their last three games in this tournament after their opening victory over Texas Southern. North Carolina is surviving by crashing the boards. In these last three games, the Tar Heels have out-rebounded their opponents by +10, +12 and +13 boards. Not only has North Carolina then played 13 of their last 17 games Under the Total after out-rebounding their last two opponents by at least 10 boards but they have played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after out-rebounding their last three opponents by at least ten boards. And while the Ducks only commit 16 personal fouls per game, the Tar Heels have played 12 of their last 14 games Under the Total against teams that commit 17 or fewer personal fouls per game. 25* CBB Final Four Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Oregon Ducks (813) and the North Carolina Tar Heels (814).

At 10:35 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (521) and the Golden State Warriors (522). Houston (51-24) looks to bounce-back from their 117-101 loss in Portland last night as a 1-point favorite. The Rockets have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a point spread setback. This is a depleted team with Ryan Anderson out with an ankle and Nene resting which more pressure on James Harden who will play but is nursing a wrist injury. As it is, the Under is 7-1-1 in Houston’s last 9 games on the road. And in their last 6 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court, the Under is 5-0-1 for the Rockets.

Golden State has also played 38 of their last 51 games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. The Warriors return home for this game where they have played 7 straight games Under the Total. And while the Over is tempting between these two fast-paced teams that like to score, Golden State has played 18 of their last 22 games in the second-half of the season against teams that allow at least 106 PPG — and Houston allows 109.0 PPG in the Mike D’Antoni system. 25* NBA Friday ESPN Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (521) and the Golden State Warriors (522). Best of luck for us — Frank.

The Under is then 5-2-1 in the Yellow Jackets’ last 8 games after a point spread victory. Josh Pastner’s team is playing outstanding defense in this tournament after finishing 2nd in the ACC in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency.

But this TCU team shot only 43.3% from the field themselves. First-year head coach Jamie Dixon has had this team sharing the basketball all season as they led the Big 12 in assisted field goal percentage rate. The Horned Frogs had 20 assists against Central Florida after assisting on 23 baskets in the NIT Quarterfinals against Richmond. TCU has then played 28 of their last 40 games Under the Total after assisting on at least 19 baskets in two straight games.

And in the last 6 meetings between these two teams in San Antonio, the game finished Under the Total all 6 times. These two teams played back on Saturday, March 11th with both teams benching their star players to the dismay of Disney/ABC/ESPN.

Phoenix (22-52) has dropped eight straight games with their 120-106 loss in Charlotte on Sunday as a 13-point underdog. The Suns are playing out the string out of the playoff hunt and decimated with injuries. Phoenix has lost both Tyson Chandler and Brandon Knight to season-ending injuries — and now Leandro Barbosa is questionable with a hamstring injury tonight. The Suns shot 50.6% from the field in their defeat two days ago — but they look to be a prime suspect for a flat effort when considering this is their sixth straight game on the road. As it is, Phoenix has played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a point spread setback. Additionally, the Suns have played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a double-digit loss. And in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record, Phoenix has played 4 of these games Under the Total.

Atlanta (37-36) has lost seven straight games themselves with their 107-92 loss to Brooklyn as a 6.5-point favorite on Sunday. This team is lost right now on the offensive end of the court with both Paul Millsap and Kent Bazemore sidelined with injuries. Over their last six games, this team has failed to shoot better than 39.5% in three of those games while not topping 44.1% in all six contests. The solution for Mike Budenholzer’s team is to win games through their defense that leans heavily on Dwight Howard and Dennis Schroder. As it is, the Hawks have played played 12 of their last 14 games Under the Total after a loss by at least 15 points. The Under is also 16-5-1 in their last 22 games after a double-digit loss — and that includes playing 4 straight Unders after a double-digit loss at home.

The defensive struggles of this team is a tired meme that continues to offer us great value with the Under for Steve Alford’s team. This UCLA defense has improved since Alford installed a tricky 3-2 zone that presents opponents a challenging unique look.

Rhode Island (24-9) has won eight straight games to win the Atlantic-10 Tournament with their 70-63 win over VCU on Sunday. The formula for success for this team now when facing the offensive juggernaut which is this Bluejays’ team is to slow the pace of the game, force bad shots on defense and crash the boards on offense — just like how they slowed down the Rams in their last contest.
