At 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Michigan State Spartans (621) and the Wisconsin Badgers (622). THE SITUATION: Michigan State (19-5) snapped their three-game losing streak on Saturday with their 79-55 win over Minnesota as a 13.5-point favorite. Wisconsin (17-7) had their six-game winning streak end on Saturday with their 61-52 loss at Michigan as a 6.5-point underdog.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: Michigan State has seen the Under go 19-6-1 in their last 26 games after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 straight games Under the Total after a point spread victory. Additionally, the Under is 6-2-1 in the Spartans’ last 9 games after a win by at least 20 points. Now Michigan State goes on the road where they hold their home hosts to just a 38.5% field goal percentage. The Spartans have played 4 of their last 5 road games Under the Total — and they have played 4 straight road games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. Furthermore, Michigan State has played 6 straight games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. The season-ending ankle injury to guard Joshua Langford has hurt the offense more than it has hurt the Sparty defense because Langford’s primary replacement, Matt McQuaid might be a better defender. But while other players were stepping up to support their superstar Cassius Winston since that injury to Langford, these role players were ineffective during their three-game losing streak — and this is a team that can see their offense go cold in critical stretches of the game. Wisconsin allowed Michigan to make 44.6% of their shots on Saturday which was tied for the worst defensive effort in their last eleven games. The Badgers have played 5 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 5 straight games Under the Total after a point spread victory. Furthermore, Wisconsin has played 11 of their last 13 games Under the Total after a loss to a Big Ten rival. The Badgers play great positional defense — and they tend to get rewarded for their flops when playing at home in Madison’s Kohl Center. Wisconsin has not allowed more than 64 points in eight straight games — and they have played 9 of their last 10 games Under the Total after not allowing more than 65 points in at least three straight games. The Badgers have held their last five opponents to only 54.0 PPG on low 36.4% shooting. But this team is scoring just 60.2 PPG in those last five games while shooting only 41.6% from the field in these games. Wisconsin returns home where they have seen the Under go 7-3-1 in their last 11 games. The Badgers have also played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%.
FINAL TAKE: This is a battle of two of the best defensive teams in the nation. Michigan State ranks 9th in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency while also ranking 4th in the nation in opponent’s effective field goal percentage. Wisconsin ranks 7th in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency while also ranking 11th in opponent’s effective field goal percentage. Expect a lower-scoring game. 20* CBB Michigan State-Wisconsin ESPN2 O/U Special with Under the Total in the game between the Michigan State Spartans (621) and the Wisconsin Badgers (622).

At 6:00 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Duke Blue Devils (713) and the Virginia Cavaliers (714). Duke (20-2) has won six straight games after their 80-55 win over Boston College on Tuesday as a 24-point favorite. Virginia (20-1) has won four straight contests with their 56-46 win over Miami (FL) last Saturday as a 17.5-point favorite.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Cavaliers’ junior point guard, Ty Jerome, is listed as questionable for this game with a sore back. It looks like he will try to play tonight after having had a full week off since not playing in that game against the Hurricanes — but his effectiveness remains a question. Duke will have their freshman point guard Tre Jones in this game after he missed the first encounter between these two teams last month. Jones is an elite defensive player — so a not at full strength Jerome will be a big problem for the Virginia offense with Jones harassing him. It will be even worse when Jones is defending the Cavaliers’ 5’9 freshman point guard Kihei Clark who committed six turnovers running the offense against Miami. As it is, Virginia has played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. Furthermore, the Cavaliers have managed only 28 and 27 points in the first-half of their last two games — and they have then played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total after failing to reach at least 30 points in the first-half in two straight contests. Virginia does play outstanding defense — they rank second in the nation in Adjusted Efficiency while leading the country by holding their opponents to just 52.9 PPG. On their home court, the Cavaliers limit their guests to only 49.0 PPG on ice-cold 33.3% shooting. Virginia has played 10 of their last 12 games Under the Total on their home court — and they have played 8 of their last 9 home games Under the Total with the number set in the 130 to 139.5 point range. Additionally, the Cavaliers have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total when listed in the +/- 3-point range. Duke has seen the Under go 23-8-2 in their last 33 games after a straight-up win — and they have played 11 straight games Under the Total after a win by at least 20 points. The Blue Devils have also played 11 of their last 12 games Under the Total after a point spread victory. Furthermore, Duke has played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total after scoring at least 80 points in their last game — and they have played 9 of their last 10 games Under the Total after holding their last opponent to no more than 55 points. This is Mike Krzyzewski’s best defensive team in years — they rank fourth in the nation in Adjusted Efficiency. The 35.7% shooting mark that the Eagles produced on Tuesday was actually the best percentage that a Duke opponent has produced in their last three contests. The Blue Devils have held their last five opponents to just 58.8 PPG. Duke goes back on the road where the Under is 3-0-1 in their last 4 road games — and the Under is also 3-0-1 in their last 4 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. The Under is also 18-8-1 in the Blue Devils’ last 27 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%.
FINAL TAKE: Duke won the first meeting between these two teams without their defensive dynamo in Jones by a 72-70 score back on January 19th. Virginia has played 11 of their last 13 games Under the Total when playing with revenge on their minds. 20* CBB Duke-Virginia ESPN O/U Special with Under the Total in the game between the Duke Blue Devils (713) and the Virginia Cavaliers (714).

At 2:00 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Ohio Bobcats (631) and the Miami (OH) Redhawks (632). THE SITUATION: Ohio (11-10) has lost two straight games after their 65-53 loss to Akron last Saturday as a 2-point favorite. Miami (OH) (12-11) has lost two of their last three games with their 70-67 loss at Kent State as a 4-point underdog on Tuesday.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Bobcats have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a loss by at least 10 points. And while Ohio has only covered the point spread twice in their last twelve games, they have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after failing to cover the point spread in six or seven of their last eight games. This team is last in the Mid-American Conference in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency — and now they go on the road where they are scoring only 59.8 PPG with a low 38.4% field goal percentage. The Bobcats have played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total on the road — and they have played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total on the road against teams with a winning record at home. Furthermore, Ohio has played 10 of their last 14 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record — and they have played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total against fellow MAC opponents. Miami (OH) has seen the Under go 28-11-1 in their last 40 games against conference opponents. The Redhawks have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and the Under is 21-8-1 in their last 30 games after a point spread victory. Additionally, Miami has played 7 straight games at home Under the Total after a loss. This is a team that sacrifices offensive rebounding to get back on defense — they are last in the MAC by pulling down only 24.6% of their missed shots. Over their last five games, the Redhawks are allowing only 60.4 PPG while holding their opponents to just a 39.6% field goal percentage. But during that span, Miami is scoring only 65.4 PPG themselves on 41.5% shooting (and few second-chance opportunities). Now after playing their last two games on the road, the Redhawks return home where they hold their opponents to just 63.8 PPG on 41.3% shooting from the field. Miami has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total on their home court — and they have played 4 of their last 5 home games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road.
FINAL TAKE: These two teams have seen the Under go 4-0-1 in their last 5 meetings at Miami. Expect another lower scoring game between these two teams. 25* CBB Mid-American Conference Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Ohio Bobcats (631) and the Miami (OH) Redhawks (632).

At 9:35 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Minnesota Timberwolves (513) and the New Orleans Pelicans (514). THE SITUATION: Minnesota (25-29) has lost three straight games as well as five of their six contests with their 122-112 loss at Orlando as a 4-point underdog last night. New Orleans (24-31) looks to build off a 125-120 win at Chicago on Wednesday as a 1.5-point favorite.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: The Timberwolves have played 11 of their last 13 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 10 of their last 14 games Over the Total after a point spread setback. Additionally, Minnesota has played 16 of their last 21 games Over the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. And while the T-Wolves have failed to cover the point spread in five straight games, they have then played 10 of their last 12 games Over the Total after failing to cover the point spread in at least four straight games. Minnesota has also played 8 of their last 11 games Over the Total after losing three of their last four games. Now the Timberwolves stay on the road where they allow 114.4 PPG while seeing their home hosts make 47.7% of their shots. Minnesota has played 10 of their last 13 games Over the Total on the road. New Orleans has played a decisive 36 of their last 60 games Over the Total after allowing at least 115 points in their last game. The Pelicans have also played 6 of their last 9 games Over the Total after a game where at least 245 combined points were scored. The team traded away big man Nikola Mirotic — so this team will likely play even more small ball now which means they will continue to push the pace. New Orleans has also made the questionable decision to put a healthy Anthony Davis back on the court despite his proclamation that he will not choose to resign with the team when his contract expires. In the short run, while the Pelicans pray he does not get himself seriously injured and ruin his trade value, he offers the team a massive offensive weapon. New Orleans has played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total against teams with a losing record — and they have played 64 of their last 89 home games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. The Pelicans return home to the Big Easy where they score 117.2 PPG on 48.1% shooting while allowing their visitors to score 113.0 PPG on 46.6% shooting.
FINAL TAKE: New Orleans look to avenge a 110-106 loss at Minnesota back on January 12th — and they have played 27 of their last 38 games Over the Total when playing with revenge from a loss on the road. 10* NBA Minnesota-New Orleans ESPN O/U Special with Over the Total in the game between the Minnesota Timberwolves (513) and the New Orleans Pelicans (514).

At 10:35 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the San Antonio Spurs (583) and the Portland Trail Blazers (584). THE SITUATION: San Antonio (32-24) saw their five-game winning streak snapped last night with their ugly 141-102 loss at Golden State as a 15.5-point underdog. Portland (32-21) had their three-game winning streak end on Tuesday with their 118-108 upset loss to Miami as a 7.5-point favorite.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: The Spurs rested LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan in that game which contributed to them making only 43.2% of their shots against the Warriors. Both players will be back on the court tonight in this more winnable game than against the defending NBA champions. San Antonio has played 13 of their last 16 games Over the Total when playing without rest. The Spurs have also seen the Over go 11-4-1 in their last 16 games after a straight-up loss — and they have played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Toal after a double-digit setback. Furthermore, the Over is 10-0-1 in San Antonio’s last 11 games after allowing at least 125 points in their last contest. The Spurs will likely be without starting point guard Derrick White who is dealing with a right foot injury. San Antonio will miss his versatile play on defense. The Spurs have allowed three of their last five opponents to make at least 55.6% of their shots after the Warriors nailed 57.9% of their field goal attempts. Overall, San Antonio has allowed their last five opponents to make 52.9% of their shots from the field. The Spurs stay on the road where they are scoring 110.9 PPG but surrendering 115.1 PPG. Home hosts are making 48.3% of their shots against San Antonio. The Over is 24-9-2 in their last 35 road games — and the Spurs have seen the Over go 21-5-1 in their 27 road games against teams with a winning record at home. Portland has played 21 of their last 29 games over the Total after a double-digit loss at home. The Trail Blazers made only 45.2% of their shots against the Heat which was the worst shooting effort in their last eight games. Portland stays at home where they are making 47.6% of their shots which translates into 115.9 PPG. Over tier last five games, the Blazers are still making 48% of their shots — but they are also allowing these opponents to shoot 47.1% from the field which is a bit worse than their 45.7% opponent’s field goal percentage for the year. The Over is 6-0-1 in Portland’s last 7 games on their home court — and the Over is also 4-0-1 in their last 5 home games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. Additionally, while the Blazers have scored at least 105 points in nineteen straight games, they have then played 21 of their last 29 games Over the Total after scoring at least 105 points in at least five straight games.
FINAL TAKE: Portland will be playing with revenge on their minds after suffering a 131-118 loss to the Spurs back on December 2nd where they made 52.3% of their shots while allowing San Antonio to shoot 60.2% from the field. These two teams have played 22 of their last 30 meetings Over the Total — and this includes them playing twelve of their last sixteen games Over the Total when playing in Portland. 25* NBA Pre-All Star Break Thursday TNT Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the San Antonio Spurs (583) and the Portland Trail Blazers (584).

At 9:30 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the California Golden Bears (831) and the Oregon Ducks (832). THE SITUATION: California (5-16) has lost ten straight games after their 84-81 loss at home to Stanford last Sunday as a 4-point underdog. Oregon (13-9) saw their two-game winning streak snapped last Saturday with their 73-51 upset loss at Colorado as a 1-point favorite.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Golden Bears have played 10 of their last 11 road games Under the Total after a loss to a fellow Pac-12 rival. Cal has also played 10 straight road games Under the Total after losing at least two games in a row. Cal lost seven contributors from last year’s 8-24 team — and they have continued to struggle this season as they are last in the Pac-12 in both Adjusted Offensive Efficiency and with their effective field goal percentage of 45.5%. They have allowed their last three opponents to shoot at least 50% from the field — but they have then played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after allowing their last three opponents to make at least 47% of their shots. Now after playing their last three games at home, the Golden Bears go back on the road where they are 0-9 this season while making just 42.9% of their shots which is resulting in only 67.6 PPG. Cal has played 12 of their last 16 road games Under the Total — and they have played 13 of their last 16 road games Under the Total after playing at least three straight games at home. Furthermore, the Golden Bears have played 12 of their last 15 road games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court — and they have played 7 of their last 8 road games Under the Total as an underdog getting 12.5 to 18 points. Oregon has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a point spread setback. The Ducks have also played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total after a loss on the road. Now after playing their last two games on the road, Oregon returns home where they are 9-4 this season while holding their opponents to just 64.8 PPG on a low 42.0% field goal percentage. The Ducks have played 7 straight home games Under the Total after playing their last two games on the road. Oregon has also played 24 of their last 33 home games Under the Total after a loss on the road to a Pac-12 rival. The Ducks have been hit hard with injuries this season with the biggest being to Bol Bol who is out the year with a left foot injury. While Dana Altman’s team is back to full strength — save for Bol — the offensive chemistry of this team has been disrupted. Oregon ranks 10th in the Pac-12 in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency. But the Ducks have been solid on defense as they rank 5th in the conference in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. They have played 8 of their last 10 home games Under the Total as the favorite laying 12.5 to 18 points.
FINAL TAKE: These two teams play at the two slowest paces in the Pac-12 — Cal’s 18.2 seconds per possession in conference action is only quicker than Oregon’s 19.0 seconds per possession. The Ducks do force pressure to create scoring opportunities — they are second in the Pac-12 by forcing turnovers in 24.4% of their conference opponents possessions. But protecting the basketball may be what this Bears team does best as they are second in the conference by only turning the ball over in 15.9% of their possessions in conference play. Expect a slog. 25* CBB Wednesday FS1 Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the California Golden Bears (831) and the Oregon Ducks (832). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 9:00 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the LSU Tigers (823) and the Mississippi State Bulldogs (824). THE SITUATION: LSU (17-4) looks to bounce-back from their 90-89 upset loss to Arkansas as a 10-point favorite on Saturday. Mississippi State (16-5) has won two of their last three games with their 81-75 upset victory at Ole Miss on Saturday as a 2-point underdog.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: The Tigers have played 23 of the last 34 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 17 of their last 23 road games Over the Total after a game where at least 165 combined points were scored. And while LSU has failed to cover the point spread in three of their last four games, they have then played 17 of their last 19 games Over the Total after failing to cover the point spread in three of their last four games. Now this team goes back on the road where they are 6-3 this season while averaging 78.8 PPG but allowing 74.9 PPG. The Tigers have played 13 of their last 16 games Over the Total on the road — and they have played 9 of their last 10 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. Furthermore, LSU has played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. Mississippi State has played 20 of their last 27 home games Over the Total after an upset win over an SEC rival.

The Bulldogs have also played 9 of their last 10 games Over the Total against teams with a winning record.
FINAL TAKE: LSU and Mississippi State are two of the best offensive teams in the nation: they rank 17th and 20th nationally in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency. These two teams have played 11 of their last 13 meetings Over the Total — and this includes them playing six of their last seven games Over the Total when playing at Mississippi State. 10* CBB LSU-Mississippi State ESPN2 O/U Special with Over the Total in the game between the LSU Tigers (823) and the Mississippi State Bulldogs (824).

At 8:35 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Charlotte Hornets (565) and the Dallas Mavericks (566). THE SITUATION: Charlotte (26-26) has won three of their last four games with their 125-118 win over Chicago on Saturday as a 6.5-point favorite. Dallas (24-28) has won four of their last six games with their 111-98 upset win at Cleveland as a 5.5-point underdog on Saturday.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Mavericks have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a double-digit victory — and they have played 6 straight games Under the Total after a point spread win. This team is playing very good defense right now as they have held their last five opponents to just a 41% field goal percentage which has resulted in only 101.1 PPG which is more than 7 points below their 108.7 PPG defensive scoring average. Dallas made a blockbuster trade this week by trading Dennis Smith, Jr. along with Wesley Matthews and DeAndre Jordan to the Knicks for Kristaps Porzingis along with Tim Hardaway and Trey Burke. Losing Jordan along with Matthews will impact the Mavericks’ defensive presence — but integrating Hardaway and Burke into their offensive rotation will take some time. Of course, it has been announced that Porzingis will not take the court this season as he looks to fully recover from his ACL injury from last year. Dallas returns home where they have played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total — and they have played 5 of their last 6 home games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. Furthermore, the Mavericks have played 16 of their last 21 games Under the Total against teams from the Eastern Conference — and they have played 36 of their last 59 games Under the Total with the Total set in the 210 to 219.5 point range. Charlotte has seen the Under go 4-1-1 in their last 6 games after a straight-up loss — and the Under is also 6-2-1 in their last 9 games after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. The Hornets made 52.4% of their shots in their win over the Bulls on Saturday which was the best offensive effort in their last five games. But this remains a team that is scoring 107.0 PPG over their last five games which is more than 4 points below their 111.6 PPG season average. Charlotte is also making only 43.8% of their shots when playing on the road. The Under is 4-1-1 in the Hornets’ last 6 road games against teams with a winning record at home.
FINAL TAKE: Charlotte will be looking to avenge an embarrassing 122-84 loss at home to Dallas back on January 2nd — and they have played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total when playing with revenge from a loss at home to their opponent. While the Mavericks are probably not as strong as a defensive team after their trade with the Knicks, I do expect them to struggle on offense as they incorporate Hardaway and Burke into the mix. 25* NBA Pre-All Star Break Non-Conference Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Charlotte Hornets (565) and the Dallas Mavericks (566).

At 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Drake Bulldogs (615) and the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers (616). THE SITUATION: Drake (17-6) has won five of their last six games with their 68-62 upset victory at Indiana State on Saturday as a 1-point underdog. Loyola-Chicago (14-9) saw their two-game winning streak snapped on Saturday with their 65-57 loss to Illinois State as a 1-point underdog.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: Drake has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total after a point spread victory. The Bulldogs stay on the road where they are holding their hosts to just a 41.7% field goal percentage. Drake has the best Adjusted Defensive Efficiency in the Missouri Valley Conference — and they have played 6 of their last 7 conference games Under the Total. But the Bulldogs make only 44.7% of their shots away from home as compared to their 47.5% field goal mark for the season. Drake has played 4 straight games Under the Total on the road — and they have played 6 of their last 7 road games Under the Total against teams with a winning record on their home court. This team has seen their scoring output derailed with the season-ending ACL injury to Nick Norton. The senior guard was the second-leading scorer on the team with a 14.0 PPG scoring average — and by taking 22.2% of the team’s shots for the season, he was taking the second most percentage of shots on the team. Moving forward, the Bulldogs have played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. Loyola-Chicago has played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 6 of their last 8 games after a point spread setback. The Ramblers have played two straight games where neither team scored more than 65 points. Not only has Loyola-Chicago played 12 of their last 13 games Under the Total after a game where both teams did not score more than 65 points but they have also played 6 straight games Under the Total after playing two straight games where neither team scored at least 65 points. The Ramblers return home where they are 10-3 this season while holding their visitors to just 57.9 PPG on low 40.7% shooting from the field. Loyola-Chicago has played 9 of their last 13 home games Under the Total against teams with a winning record on the road. Furthermore, the Ramblers have played 12 of their last 17 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%.
FINAL TAKE: Drake will be looking to avenge an 85-74 loss to Loyola-Chicago back on January 5th. The Bulldogs have played 22 of their last 32 games Under the Total when on the road playing with revenge from a same-season loss. The Under is also 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two teams on the Ramblers’ home court. 25* CBB Tuesday CBS Sports Network Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Drake Bulldogs (615) and the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers (616).

THE SITUATION: Maryland (17-5) snapped a two-game losing streak on Tuesday with a 70-52 win over Northwestern as a 7.5-point favorite. Wisconsin (15-6) has won four straight games after their 62-51 upset win at Nebraska as a 3.5-point underdog on Tuesday.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Terrapins played a great game on defense against the Wildcats as they held them to just a 31% field goal percentage. Maryland has played 14 of their last 21 games Under the Total after not allowing more than 60 points in their last game. And while that game finished below the 132.5 point total, the Terrapins have played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after playing a game that finished below the number. Maryland’s defense has traveled this season — they are holding their home hosts to just 62.2 PPG on low 39.6% shooting. The Terrapins have held their last five opponents to just a 39.4% field goal percentage as head coach Mark Turgeon continues to see improvement from his team on that end of the court. But while Maryland is loaded with talent, their offense can stall out. Turgeon decided early on to move his best player, Anthony Cowan, off the ball to put him in better positions to score while lowering his work rate as he did with Melo Trimble’s final year with the program. But while it was Cowan who glided into the point guard position then, freshman Eric Ayala is struggling with this transition this season. The Terrapins starting point guard has a higher turnover rate than assist rate and he is one of the reasons that this team ranks 13th in the Big Ten by turning the ball over in 21.0% of their possessions. Maryland scored 78.7 PPG when playing at home — but that number drops to just 68.6 PPG when they are playing on the road. Over their last five games, the Terrapins are making just 42.8% of their shots. The Terrapins have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against Big Ten opponents — and they have played 3 of their last 4 road games Under the Total as an underdog. Wisconsin has played 26 of their last 31 games Under the Total after an upset victory over a Big Ten rival. The Badgers play outstanding defense — they rank 5th in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency while also ranking 12th in the country with an opponent’s effective field goal percentage of 44.8%. Wisconsin has held their last five opponents to just 33.6% shooting from the field — and Big Ten opponents are making only 37.8% of their shots against them. Furthermore, the Badgers are holding their visitors to just 61.7 PPG on low 40.4% shooting — and they have played 4 of their last 5 home games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road. One of the reasons why the Badgers are so tough to score on is that their games are almost entirely consisting of slogs in the half-court. Wisconsin is 9th in the nation by turning the ball over in just 14.9% of their possessions. But the Badgers’ half-court offense has slowed down as opponents have made the decision to key on D’Mitrik Trice. While the 6’0 guard is averaging 13.9 PPG, he is scoring 12.2 PPG over his last five games which includes only 8 points against the Cornhuskers and only 6 points against Michigan. Senior Ethan Happ gets most of the headlines for this team — but he is not a good natural shooter given his 47% free throw percentage along with zero made 3-pointers this season. Wisconsin is making just 43.8% of their shots over their last five games. Head coach Greg Gard does have an assortment of players who can make 3-pointers — they rank 3rd in the Big Ten by making 39.8% of their shots from behind the arc. But the Terrapins defend the perimeter well — they rank 4th in the Big Ten with an opponent’s 3-point mark of just 31.1% and home teams are making only 29.1% of their 3-pointers against them when they are playing on the road. The Under is a decisive 38-18-4 in Wisconsin’s last 60 games against Big Ten opponents — and the Badgers have played 5 straight games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%.
FINAL TAKE: The Under is 6-0-1 in the last 7 meetings between these two teams. With two head coaches that preach defense facing offenses that have significant holes, expect a lower scoring game once again between these two teams. 25* CBB Friday FS1 Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Maryland Terrapins (869) and the Wisconsin Badgers (870).

At 11:00 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the UC-Irvine Anteaters (647) and the UC-Santa Barbara Gauchos (648). THE SITUATION: UC-Irvine (17-5) has won three straight games as well as six of their last seven contests with their 82-64 win over UC-Riverside last Saturday as a 13-point favorite. UC-Santa Barbara (15-4) has won seven of their last eight games with their 82-71 win at Long Beach State as a 2-point favorite on Saturday.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: UC-Irvine has played 27 of their last 38 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. The Anteaters made 52.5% of their shots on Saturday which was the best offensive effort in their last six games. But now UC-Irvine goes back on the road where they are making just 41.6% of their shots. The Anteaters’ defense should travel — they lead in the Big West Conference in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency while also leading the conference with an opponent’s effective goal percentage of 46.1%. UC-Irvine holds their home hosts to just a 38.3% field goal percentage. The Anteaters have played 15 of their last 19 road games Under the Total — and they have played 9 of their last 11 road games Under the Total as the favorite. Additionally, UC-Irvine has played 12 of their last 14 games on the road Under the Total against fellow Big West opponents. UC-Santa Barbara has played 22 of their last 30 games Under the Total after a point spread win — and this includes them playing eight of their last nine home games Under the Total after a point spread victory. Now the Gauchos return home where they are a perfect 9-0 while holding their visitors to just 56.3 PPG on low 36.4% shooting. The Under is a decisive 34-15-2 in UC-Santa Barbara’s last 51 games on their home court — and they have also seen the Under go 6-1-1 in their last 8 home games against teams with a winning record on the road. The Gauchos can struggle to score points — they are 8th in the Big West in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency. Over their last five games, UC-Santa Barbara is making only 42.8% of their shots.
FINAL TAKE: These two teams typically play lower scoring games. The Under is 19-7-2 in the last 28 meetings between these two teams — and this includes them playing four straight Unders when facing off in Santa Barbara. Expect another lower-scoring game between these two teams. 25* College Basketball Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the UC-Irvine Anteaters (647) and the UC-Santa Barbara Gauchos (648).

At 8:05 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Denver Nuggets (561) and the New Orleans Pelicans (562). THE SITUATION: Denver (34-15) has won three straight games as well as five of their last six contests with their 95-92 win at Memphis as a 5.5-point favorite on Monday. New Orleans (23-28) snapped a three-game losing streak last night with their surprising 121-116 upset win at Houston as a big 13.5-point underdog.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: The Pelicans have played 10 of their last 15 games Over the Total after an upset win by at least 10 points — and this includes them playing three of their four games Over the Total when that double-digit upset win was over a Southwest Divisional rival. New Orleans has also played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total when playing without a day of rest. This team is a M*A*S*H unit right now with Anthony Davis out (and perhaps never to wear a Pelicans’ jersey again given his declaration that he will not resign with the team when his contract expires and Nikola Mirotic, Julius Randle, Elfrid Payton, E’Twaun Moore all dealing with injuries. The latter three are listed as questionable for tonight as of this writing. This leaves the team with only Jrue Holiday as the only regular starter available for the Pelicans — but he starred alongside Jahil Okafor and a slew of bench players last night. This group buys-in to head coach Alvin Gentry’s aggressive defensive schemes and fast-tempo. The Pelicans made 51.1% of their shots against the Rockets last night — and their 48.9% field goal percentage in their last five games since Davis suffered his injury is higher than the 48.1% mark they have overall for the season. I am not sure how well New Orleans will play on defense tonight — but they should continue to score plenty of baskets back at home where they are averaging 118.4 PPG on 48.4% shooting. The Pelicans have played 10 of their last 15 games Over the Total as an underdog getting 3.5 to 9.5 points — and they have played 5 of their last 7 home games Over the Total as a dog getting 6.5 to 12 points. Furthermore, New Orleans has played 4 straight games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% — and they have played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total against fellow Western Conference opponents. Where the Pelicans really miss Davis is with their interior defense. Through his injury on January 19th, opponents were taking 39.5% of their shots at the rim when Davis was not on the court — that would translate into the second-highest mark if extended to the entire season. The lack of credible rim protector without Davis requires the Pelicans to help on defense — and that opens things up for these opponents on the perimeter again. Opponents were making 46.7% of their corner 3s against New Orleans with Davis off the court before his injury. While Houston lacks a credible inside scoring threat (especially with Clint Capela injured), the Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic should have a field day against the Pelicans inside tonight. Denver has played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after both a straight-up win — and they have played 4 straight games Over the Total after a point spread victory. The Nuggets were sluggish for most of that game with the Grizzlies as they made only 43.5% of their shots which was the lowest field goal percentage in their last eight games. Denver rallied from a 25-point third quarter deficit as well as a 17-point margin in the fourth quarter to pull out that win. They should shoot much better tonight — they have played 11 of their last 15 games Over the Total in the month of January. The Nuggets have also played 5 of their last 6 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record at home — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against fellow Western Conference opponents.
FINAL TAKE: New Orleans averages 103.2 possessions per game which is the 5th quickest pace in the NBA. Their injuries require them to play small-ball — and that should facilitate both teams flying up and down the court like the Pelicans’ game with the Rockets last night. Even in a losing effort, Houston scored 116 points while making just 39.6% of their shots. We took that Over last night — and I think we have another big advantage versus the number tonight. 25* NBA Western Conference Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Denver Nuggets (561) and the New Orleans Pelicans (562).

At 8:05 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the New Orleans Pelicans (547) and the Houston Rockets (548). THE SITUATION: New Orleans (22-28) has lost three straight games with their 126-114 loss to San Antonio on Saturday as a 4.5-point underdog. Houston (29-20) has won three straight games with their 103-98 win over Orlando on Sunday as an 8.5-point favorite.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: The Pelicans have played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after allowing at least 125 points in their last game. And while New Orleans has lost five of their last six games, New Orleans has played 10 of their last 15 games Over the Total after losing five or six of their last seven contests. This team is mired with injuries with Anthony Davis out with a hand injury and fellow big man Nikola Mirotic also out with a calf injury. With Julius Randle questionable with an ankle injury as well, this leaves head coach Alvin Gentry pretty thin with options on his frontline. Smaller lineups from Gentry will likely see the Pelicans push the pace even faster than the 103.19 possessions per game average they already average which is 6th fastest in the NBA. New Orleans goes back on the road where they have played 7 of their last 10 games Over the Total. The Pelicans have also played 6 of their last 7 road games Over the Total as an underdog getting 6.5 to 12 points. And in their last 5 games against fellow Western Conference opponents, the game finished Over the Total 4 times. Houston has played 21 of their last 31 games Over the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. The Rockets have won four of their last five games — and they have played 7 of their last 10 games Over the Total after winning four of their last five contests. The team did see Chris Paul III return to the court on Sunday with his minutes being limited until he gets himself back into shape. The Rockets stay at home where they are averaging 116.7 PPG. Houston has played 8 of their last 11 home games Over the Total — and they have played 5 of their last 7 home games Over the Total as a favorite laying 6.5 to 12 points. Furthermore, while their win over the Magic fell well below the 221.5 point Total, they have played 11 of their last 14 home games Over the Total after playing a game that finished Under the number. Houston held Orlando to just a 40.2% field goal percentage which was the best defensive effort in their last eighteen games. Yet the Rockets have still allowed their last five opponents to score 116.4 PPG. Houston has played 4 straight games Over the Total as a double-digit favorite.
FINAL TAKE: The Pelicans will be looking to avenge a 108-104 loss at home to the Rockets back on December 29th — and they have played a decisive 40 of their last 64 games Over the Total when playing with revenge. With New Orleans’ injuries, it will be Small Ball City in this contest which should facilitate a blazing pace and a high scoring game. 25* NBA TNT Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the New Orleans Pelicans (547) and the Houston Rockets (548).

At 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Georgia Bulldogs (603) and the Arkansas Razorbacks (604). THE SITUATION: Georgia (10-9) snapped their four-game losing streak on Saturday with their 98-88 upset win over Texas as a 4.5-point underdog. Arkansas (11-8) has lost five of their last six games with their 67-64 loss at Texas Tech as a 10-point underdog on Saturday.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Bulldogs made a season-high 66.7% of their shots in their rout of the Longhorns. The Regression Gods are highly likely to make a visit to Fayetteville for this Georgia team that makes only 45.2% of their shots on the road. And in their six conference games this season, they are hitting just 41.4% of their shots. The Bulldogs have played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after scoring at least 90 points in their last game. Georgia has also played 17 of their last 24 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 13 of their last 19 games Under the Total after a point spread victory. The Bulldogs have also played 9 of their last 10 games Under the Total after allowing at least 80 points in their last contest. Furthermore, while Georgia has played their last two games Over the Total, they have then played 11 of their last 13 games Under the Total after playing two straight Overs. The Bulldogs go back on the road where they are scoring just 69.1 PPG. They have played 15 of their last 21 road games Under the Total — and they have played 14 of their last 19 home games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. Arkansas has played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total. And while the Razorbacks have failed to cover the point spread in four of their last six games, they have then played 13 of their last 17 games Under the Total after failing to cover the point spread in four or five of their last six games. Arkansas returns home where they are 8-4 while holding their opponents to just 70.7 PPG on low 40.7% shooting from the field. The Razorbacks have played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total on their home court — and they have played 6 of their last 7 home games Under the Total against teams with a losing record on the road.
FINAL TAKE: The Total is in the 150s for this contest given Arkansas’ fast “40 Minutes of Hell” pace. But the Razorbacks have still played six of their last eight games Under the Total — and they are hosting a Bulldogs team that is likely to see their hot shooting disappear in a hostile environment. 25* CBB SEC Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Georgia Bulldogs (603) and the Arkansas Razorbacks (604).

Dallas (21-26) snapped a four-game losing streak with their 106-98 win against the Los Angeles Clippers.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Pistons are playing their third game since Monday — and they have played 13 straight games Under the Total when playing their third game in five days. Detroit has also played 13 of their last 14 road games Under the Total after playing at least their two previous games on the road. The Pistons are playing lower scoring games as of late. They are scoring 100.8 PPG over their last five games while allowing 101.2 PPG over that span — as compared to their 106.0 PPG scoring average and the 108.6 PPG they are allowing for the season. Detroit stays on the road where they have played 7 straight games Under the Total. The Under is also 22-5-3 in their last 30 road games against teams with a winning record on their home court. Furthermore, the Pistons have played 15 of their last 20 road games Under the Total with the number set in the 200 to 209.5 point range. Detroit is shooting just 42.6% from the field when playing away from home. Additionally, the Pistons have played 31 of their last 45 games Under the Total as an underdog getting 3.5 to 9.5 points.

At 7:00 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Samford Bulldogs (673) and the Wofford Terriers (674). THE SITUATION: Samford (12-8) has lost four of their last five games with their 93-87 loss to Mercer as a 4-point favorite on Saturday. Wofford (15-4) has won six games in a row with their 59-54 win over Furman as an 8-point favorite on Saturday.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: The Terriers have played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 8 of their last 9 games Over the Total after a victory. Wofford is one of the best mid-majors in the country after returning all five starters and some depth from last year’s team that finished 21-13 with a win over North Carolina. This year’s team lost to North Carolina on opening night of the season by 9 points but they later earned a win over South Carolina. This team uses four guards in their starting lineup that deploys an offense that is highly proficient in making 3s. The Terriers are 28th in the nation by making 38.2% of their 3-point shots — and that number rises to a 39.9% mark when they are playing at home. Wofford averages 88.3 PPG on their home court while making 51.4% of their shots. The Terriers have paled 37 of their last 51 home games Over the Total against teams with a losing record on the road. Wofford has also played 18 of their last 23 home games Over the Total as a favorite — and they have also played 9 of their last 10 home games Over the Total when laying double-digits. The Terriers made only 38.9% of their shots on Saturday which was the worst offensive effort in their last ten games. Yet over their last five games, the Terriers have made 52.6% of their shots even after that subpar effort. Overall, Wofford ranks 23rd in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. They should have a field day against this Bulldogs team that has allowed their last five opponents to make 47.5% of their shots. Samford is 8th in the Southern Conference by allowing their conference opponents to make 37.9% of their 3-point shots. The Bulldogs have played a decisive 50 of their last 69 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 16 of their last 20 games Over the Total after a point spread setback. Additionally, Samford has played 14 of their last 16 games Over the Total after a loss to a conference rival. The Bulldogs tend to play more Overs because they play at a quick pace. They average 16.3 seconds per possession which is the 67th fastest pace in the nation — and that tempo has risen in conference play to 15.9 seconds per possession. Samford has allowed their last five opponents to score at least 76 points — and they have played 8 of their last 9 games Over the Total after allowing at least 75 points in four straight contests. The Bulldogs go back on the road where they have played 5 stage games Over the Total — and they have played 7 of their last 10 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. Samford has also played 6 straight games Over the Total against teams with a winning record — and they have played 13 of their last 18 games Over the Total with the number set in the 140 to 149.5 point range.
FINAL TAKE: These two teams have played 5 of their last 6 meetings in Wofford’s gym Over the Total. Expect another high scoring game between these two teams with the Terriers scoring plenty of points in response to Samford’s preferred quick pace. 25* CBB Southern Conference Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Samford Bulldogs (673) and the Wofford Terriers (674).

At 8:05 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Charlotte Hornets (553) and Memphis Grizzlies (554). THE SITUATION: Charlotte (22-24) saw their three-game winning streak snapped on Sunday with their 120-95 loss at Indiana as an 8-point underdog. Memphis (19-28) has lost six straight games as well as twelve of their last thirteen games with their ugly 105-85 upset loss at home to New Orleans on Monday as a 3-point favorite.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Grizzlies have played 27 of their last 40 games Under the Total after an upset loss to a fellow Southwest Division rival. Memphis has also played 6 straight games Under the Total after a double-digit loss — and they have played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a loss by at least 20 points to a divisional rival. Furthermore, not only has this team played 31 of their last 45 games Under the Total after losing three straight games but they have also played 7 straight games Under the Total after dropping four straight games. Look for the Grizzlies embarrassment lead to a better effort on the defensive end of the court. The Pelicans — without an injured Anthony Davis — made 52.7% of their shots which was the worst defensive effort for Memphis in their last seven contests. The Grizzlies have also allowed their last six opponents to score at least 105 points — but they have then played 9 straight home games Under the Total after allowing at least 105 points in three straight games. Led by remaining holdovers from the Grit-n-Grind days of yore in Mike Conley and Marc Gasol, this team still plays good defense — they currently rank 8th in the NBA in Defensive Rating. But their play on offense has been a disaster. They made only 37.5% of their shots on Monday while scoring a mere 35 points in the second-half. Over their last nine games, the Grizzlies are last in the NBA by scoring only 97.0 PPG — and they are second-to-last over that span with a 43.6% field goal percentage. Gasol’s skills seem to be in decline. He is scoring only 13 PPG while making less than 40% of his shots since December. The team also misses Kyle Anderson’s scoring punch as he is out two to four weeks with an injury. Memphis stays at home where they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total — and they have played 7 straight home games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. The Grizzlies have also played 11 of their last 14 games Under the Total when listed in the +/- 3-point range — and they have played 8 straight games at home Under the Total priced in that +/- 3-point range. Charlotte has played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total after a loss by at least 20 points — and they have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a loss by at least 20 points on the road. The Under is also 3-0-1 in their last 4 games after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. This team is playing well on the defensive end of the court as of late. Over their last five games, they have held those opponents to just a 44.7% field goal percentage as compared to their 46.5% opponent’s field goal percentage for the season. The Hornets have a Defensive Rating that ranks 7th in the NBA over that span which is well above their 20th rating for the season. But Charlotte struggles to score on the road where the role players to rising superstar Kemba Walker fail to offer support. The Hornets make only 43.6% of their shots on the road as compared to their 45.2% field goal percentage for the season. The Under is 3-0-1 in Charlotte’s last 4 games on the road — and the Under is also 3-1-1 in their last 5 games against Western Conference opponents.
FINAL TAKE: Both these teams come off bad losses — which should ensure a much better work rate from both teams tonight. While effort does not always translate into scoring, it should produce better defensive performances. 25* NBA Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Charlotte Hornets (553) and Memphis Grizzlies (554).

At 7:30 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Texas-San Antonio Road Runners (621) and the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (622). UTSA (10-7) has won seven straight games with their 76-74 win over North Texas as a 2-point underdog on Saturday. Middle Tennessee (3-14) has lost three straight games after their 73-56 loss at Louisiana Tech on Saturday as a 13-point underdog.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: UTSA has played 14 of their last 19 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 11 of their last 14 games Under the Total after a win against a conference rival. The Road Runners have also played 10 of their last 13 games Under the Total after winning six or seven of their last eight games. UTSA has held their last five opponents to just a 40.1% field goal percentage. The Road Runners lead Conference USA in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency in four games so far this season — and they rank 105th in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency overall. But UTSA also ranks a low 328th in the nation with an effective field goal percentage of 45.3%. The Road Runners make just 38.3% of their shots on the road. UTSA has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total on the road — and the Under is 5-2-1 in their last 8 road games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on their home court. The Road Runners have also played 7 of their last 9 road games Under the Total with the number set in the 140 to 149.5 point range. Middle Tennessee has played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a loss on the road — and they have played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. The Blue Raiders made only four of their ten free throws in that game — and they have played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total after shooting no better than 53% from the charity stripe in their last game. Middle Tennessee struggles to make baskets — they are 339th in the nation with an effective field goal percentage of 44.0% and the Blue Raiders are 329th in the country in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency. But this team does hold their visitors to just a 39.3% opponent’s field goal percentage. They have played 7 of their last 9 home games Under the Total with the number set in the 140 to 149.5 point range. Middle Tennessee has also played 16 of their last 22 games Under the Total with the number set in the 140 to 149.5 point range. And in their last 24 games as an underdog, the Blue Raiders have played 15 of these games Under the Total.
FINAL TAKE: Both these teams struggle to score baskets — but they are solid on the defensive end of the court (particularly with Middle Tennessee playing at home). These two teams have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total — expect another lower-scoring game between these two teams. 25* CBB Conference USA Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Texas-San Antonio Road Runners (621) and the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (622).

REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: Florida State has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 10 of their last 13 games Under the Total after a loss at home. Additionally, the Seminoles have played 27 of their last 37 games Under the total after a loss by 3 points or less. Now this team goes on the road where they are making only 43.1% of their shots. But this Florida State team plays outstanding defense as they rank 15th in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. The Seminoles have held their last five opponents to just a 40.6% field goal percentage. Florida State has played 11 of their last 12 games Under the Total on the road — and they have played 8 straight road games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court.

The Panthers hold their guests to just 65.1 PPG on their home court with a low 38.4% field goal percentage. Pittsburgh has also played 40 of their last 57 games Under the Total in ACC play.
FINAL TAKE: This is an important game for Pittsburgh who are probably on the outside-looking-in right now in earning an at-large bid for the NCAA Tournament. Defeating Florida State would be the best win on their resume. Expect this to be a lower-scoring game. 25* CBB ACC Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Florida State Seminoles (869) and the Pittsburgh Panthers (870).

At 4:30 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Indiana Hoosiers (809) and the Michigan Wolverines (810). THE SITUATION: Indiana (12-2) has won seven straight games after their 73-65 win over Illinois on Thursday as an 11-point favorite. Michigan (14-0) remained undefeated this season with their 68-55 win over Penn State as an 11-point favorite on Thursday.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Hoosiers have played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Now after playing their last three games at home, Indiana goes back on the road where they have played 6 straight games Under the Total after playing at least three straight at home in Bloomington. The Hoosiers are averaging 78.5 PPG this season while making 52.6% of their shots — but those offensive numbers plummet to just 69.0 PPG along with a 44.5% field goal percentage when they are playing on the road. The Under is 13-3-1 in Indiana’s last 17 games on the road — and they have played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total on the road as an underdog. The Hoosiers have also played 23 of their last 32 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. Indiana does play outstanding defense as they rank 19th in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. Michigan was ranked tops in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency but have dropped to merely third in the country in that metric after some sluggish defensive efforts (along with encountering some hot shooting) in some December contests with South Carolina, Western Michigan, and Air Force. But Big Ten play should re-focus this stellar defensive group that used their skills on that end of the court to reach last year’s National Championship Game. The Wolverines have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and the Under is 7-2-1 in their last 10 games after a point spread victory. They stay at home where they hold their guests to just 55.7 PPG along with an opponent’s field goal percentage of 39.6%. Michigan has played 4 straight games Under the Total. They also have played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. The Wolverines will need to rely on their defense with one of their spark plugs on offense coming off the bench in Isaiah Livers questionable for this game with a back injury that kept him out of that game with the Nittany Lions earlier this week.
FINAL TAKE: These two teams have played 4 of their last 5 meetings Under the Total — and they have played 11 of their last 16 games Under the Total when facing off in Ann Arbor. Expect another low-scoring game between these two teams. 20* CBB Indiana-Michigan O/U CBS-TV Special with Under the Total in the game between the Indiana Hoosiers (809) and the Michigan Wolverines (810).

Tennessee (11-1) has won seven straight contests with their 96-53 win over Tennessee Tech as a big 33-point favorite last Saturday.

They stay at home where they are holding their guests to just 58.0 PPG along with a field goal percentage of 33.5%. Tennessee has also played 14 of their last 20 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%.
FINAL TAKE: This is the conference debut for both teams. The Bulldogs have a tough assignment slowing down this potent Vols scoring attack — but Crean is a good teacher in fundamental defense. However, Georgia may have difficulty scoring given their 68.6 PPG average away from him which over 10 points lower than their season average. 10* CBB Saturday Afternoon O/U Special with Under the Total in the game between the Georgia Bulldogs (667) and the Tennessee Volunteers (668).

At 8:05 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Orlando Magic (513) and the Chicago Bulls (514). Orlando (16-20) has lost five of their last seven games with their 125-100 loss at Charlotte as an 8.5-point underdog on Monday. Chicago (10-27) has lost two of their last three games with their 95-89 loss at Toronto as a 10.5-point underdog on Sunday.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Magic have played 20 of their last 27 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 19 of their last 26 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. Additionally, Orlando has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a double-digit loss — and they have played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total after a loss where at least 225 combined points were scored. Furthermore, the Magic have played 28 of their last 41 games Under the Total after a loss on the road — and this includes them playing six of their last eight games Under the Total after a loss away from home. This team is dealing with a host on injuries with the worst being at point guard where starter D.J. Augustin and backup Jonathan Simmons dealing with ankle injuries. Not all injuries disproportionally impact one end of the court but Orlando really misses Augustin’s 11.5 PPG along with a 4.9 Assists-Per-Game average along with his 43.8% shooting from behind the arc. The Magic have resorted to using Jerian Grant primary point guard but his lack of penetration skills to the paint limits their offense. Grant started in their last loss to the Hornets where Orlando shot just 41.3% from the field which was the worst shooting effort in their last five games. The Magic may also be without center Nikola Vucevic who is questionable with a calf injury. Now Orlando goes on the road where they score 100.6 PPG with a 43.1% field goal percentage while allowing 103.1 PPG with an opponent’s field goal percentage of 44.1% — and all those numbers are below their 103.4 PPG/44.4% offensive and 107.5 PPG/45.9% defensive numbers for the season. The Magic have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total on the road - — and they have played 12 of their last 13 road games Under the Total against teams with a losing record on the road. Orlando has also played 10 of their last 13 road games Under the Total when listed in the +/- 3-point range. The Magic will have revenge on their minds from a 90-80 loss at Chicago back on December 21st — and they have played 30 of their last 47 games Under the Total when avenging a road loss with seven of those last ten circumstances finishing Under the Total. Chicago has seen the Under go 19-6-1 in their last 26 games after a straight-up loss — and they have played 9 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a loss by 6 points or less. The Bulls have also played 14 of their last 18 games Under the Total after losing two of their last three games. Chicago is last in the NBA by scoring just 100.4 PPG. Interim head coach Jim Boylen is preaching to his players to embrace a slowed-down grinding style on offense perhaps as a contrarian philosophy to all the teams that have gone up-tempo this season. The Bulls are scoring only 97.2 PPG over their last five games — and being without their injured point guard Bobby Portis who is dealing with an ankle injury of his own does not help. But Chicago is playing better defense with this approach as they have held their last five opponents to just 95.6 PPG along with a low opponent’s field goal percentage of 40.9%. Those defensive numbers are a far cry from the 109.3 PPG and 45.3% field goal percentage they sport for the season — so perhaps Boyle is on to something for this team. The Bulls return home where they have played 13 of their last 18 home games Under the Total — and this includes them playing four of their last five home games Under the Total. The Under is also 7-2-1 in their last 10 home games against teams with a losing record on the road. And in the last 46 games when Chicago was favored, they have played 30 of these games Under the Total.
FINAL TAKE: These two teams have played 6 straight games Under the Total when playing in Chicago. With the injuries with Orlando and the new emphasis on defense with the Bulls, expect a lower-scoring game. 25* NBA Eastern Conference Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Orlando Magic (513) and the Chicago Bulls (514).

At 5:05 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Northern Colorado Bears (763) and the Portland State Vikings (764). THE SITUATION: Northern Colorado (7-5) snapped a four-game losing streak on Saturday with their 70-65 victory at Sacramento State as a 2-point favorite. Portland State (5-6) has lost three straight games with their 76-71 loss to Cal-State Bakersfield as a 1-point favorite back on December 20th.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: Northern Colorado has played 5 straight games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after a point spread victory. Over their last five games, the Bears are scoring a robust 88.6 PPG while making 51% of their shots from the field. But now this team stays on the road where they are allowing their opponents to make 48.6% of their shots this season. Northern Colorado has played 7 of their last 10 games Over the Total when playing on the road. Portland State has played 9 straight games Over the Total after a loss on their home court — and they have played 6 straight games Over the Total after an upset loss at home. They stay at home for this contest where they are scoring 89.2 PPG while making 46.9% of their shots which is well-above their 41.9% shooting clip overall (mental note: be on the lookout to fade this team in their conference road games). If and when the Vikings miss their shots, there is a very good chance they will get a second-chance scoring opportunity since they lead the nation by pulling down 44.2% of their missed shots. Offensive rebounds should be easy to come by facing this Bears team that allows their opponents to rebound 27.4% of their missed shots which ranks 122nd in the nation. Portland State has not covered the point spread in three straight games. The Vikings have played 24 of their last 33 home games Over the Total after not covering the point spread in two straight games — and they have played 13 of their last 17 home games Over the Total after not covering the point spread in three straight contests. Additionally, while Portland State has allowed their last four opponents to make at least 47.3% of their shots (as they sacrifice transition defense for crashing the offensive glass), they have then played 4 straight games Over the Total after allowing their last four opponents to make at least 47% of their shots.
FINAL TAKE: These are two defensively-challenged teams who rank 214th and 267 in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. In the wild-wild-west of the Big Sky conference, expect this game to be another higher-scoring game between these two teams. 25* CBB Big Sky Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Northern Colorado Bears (763) and the Portland State Vikings (764).

At 8:05 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Dallas Mavericks (521) and the New Orleans Pelicans (522). THE SITUATION: Dallas (16-17) snapped a six-game losing streak on Wednesday with their 122-119 win at home over New Orleans (15-20) as a 2.5-point favorite. These two teams now travel to the Big Easy to play the back-end of this home-and-home series.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: The Mavericks have played 5 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. Dallas should have both Dennis Smith and rookie phenom Luka Doncic on the court tonight as they both are listed as probable despite their nagging injuries. Over their last five games, the Mavericks are scoring 119.0 PPG which is eight points higher than their season average. But Dallas is also allowing their last five opponents to score 122.2 PPG on 50.1% shooting which are both much higher than the 110.2 PPG they are allowing this season on 46.7% shooting. Now the Mavs go on the road where they have played 4 straight games Over the Total — and they have played 5 straight road games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home. Dallas has also played 12 of their last 16 games Over the Total with the number set in the 220 to 229.5 point range — and this includes them playing 6 of their last 7 games on the road Over the Total with the over/under number in that range. The Mavericks have also played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total against fellow Southwest Division opponents. New Orleans has played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total against Southwest Division rivals. They return home where they have played 20 of their last 29 home games Over the Total after a point spread loss. The Pelicans are scoring 120.0 PPG on 48.3% shooting when playing on their home court with both those numbers far above their 116.4 PPG scoring average an 47.6% field goal percentage overall this season. New Orleans has played 30 of their last 46 home games Over the Total as the favorite. And in their last 33 opportunities to avenge a loss on the road, the Pelicans have played 23 of these games Over the Total.
FINAL TAKE: These two teams have now played 5 straight meetings Over the Total. The Over is also 19-7-1 in the last 27 encounters between these two teams in New Orleans. Even with the high total, with the fast pace that the Pelicans like to play, expect a very high-scoring game. 25* NBA Southwest Division Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Dallas Mavericks (521) and the New Orleans Pelicans (522).

REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Longhorns allowed the Friars to make 45.6% of their shots which was the worst defensive effort for them in their last five games. This Texas team is playing outstanding defense for head coach Shaka Smart as they rank 10th in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. The Longhorns have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. This team stays at home where they are holding their opponents to just 62.2 PPG while limiting these visitors to only a 38.1% field goal percentage. Texas has played 7 of their last 10 games at home Under the Total — and they have also played 44 of their last 60 home games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. The Longhorns are heavy favorites in this game which is a good sign for the Under. Texas has played 7 straight games Under the Total as a double-digit favorite — and they have also played 18 of their last 24 home games Under the Total when laying 18.5 to 24 points. The Longhorns have also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40%. UT-Arlington has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 straight games Under the Total after a point spread victory. The Mavericks made only 39.7% of their shots in their victory last week which is concerning since they made only 26.8% of their shots in their previous game against Gonzaga. UT-Arlington ranks 303rd in the nation in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency. The Mavericks do play solid defense as they rank 156th in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency which is above average — and they will be playing a Longhorns team that ranks just 100th in the nation in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency. UT-Arlington stays on the road where they are scoring just 59.7 PPG with a low 37.1% field goal percentage. The Mavericks have played 13 of their last 16 games Under the Total on the road — and they have played 8 of their last 9 road games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home field. Additionally, UT-Arlington has played 6 straight games Under the Total on the road as a double-digit underdog — and they have played 6 straight games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%.
FINAL TAKE: UT-Arlington is going to struggle to score points in this game — but this Longhorns team is not equipped to put up a bunch of points. Texas has scored more than 78 points three times this season. 25* CBB Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the UT-Arlington Mavericks (817) and the Texas Longhorns (818).

At 7:05 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Detroit Pistons (513) and the Indiana Pacers (514). THE SITUATION: Detroit (16-16) snapped their two-game losing streak on Wednesday with their 106-95 win over Washington as a 4-point favorite. Indiana (23-12) has won three games in a row with their 129-121 win at Atlanta as a 6.5-point favorite on Wednesday.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Pistons have played 5 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. Additionally, Detroit has played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. The Pistons average 108.3 PPG while allowing 109.1 PPG this season — but over their last five games, Detroit is scoring 104.2 PPG while allowing 104.2 PPG for nine combined lower PPG over that span. Additionally, the Under is 19-5-3 in the Pistons’ last 27 road games against teams with a winning record at home. Indiana has played 16 of their last 22 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 8 straight games Under the Total after a point spread victory. Furthermore, the Pacers have played 17 of their last 22 games Under the Total after scoring at least 125 points in their last game. Indiana made 55.4% of their shots in that game which was the highest field goal percentage they have enjoyed in their last fifteen contests. The Pacers also allowed the Hawks to make 50.6% from the field as well — and that is the highest opponent’s field goal percentage in their last seventeen contests. Indiana returns home where they are shooting 45.9% from the field while holding their visitors to scoring just 96.9 PPG while shooting 42.0% from the field — and all three of those numbers are below their 47.6% field goal percentage for the season along with the 101.2 PPG they are allowing on 43.7% shooting from their opponents. Lastly, the Pacers have played 35 of their last 51 games Under the Total at home — and they have played 5 straight home games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road.
FINAL TAKE: Indiana played an outlier game on Wednesday with the 250 combined points that were scored in that contest. Expect a lower-scoring game tonight. 20* NBA Friday Daily Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Detroit Pistons (513) and the Indiana Pacers (514). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 7:35 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Toronto Raptors (573) and the Miami Heat (573). THE SITUATION: Toronto (25-10) saw their two-game winning streak snapped on Saturday with their 126-101 loss at Philadelphia as a 7.5-point underdog. Miami (16-16) has won five games in a row with their 115-91 win at Orlando as a 2.5-point underdog.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Raptors have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a loss by double-digits. Furthermore, Toronto has played a decisive 18 of their last 22 games Under the Total after a loss to an Atlantic Division rival. This Toronto offense will be without two key pieces with both Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas out with injuries — but their defense will be helped with the Serge Ibaka upgraded to probable for tonight’s game. The Raptors have played 4 straight games Under the Total after allowing at least 125 points in their last game. Toronto is struggling to score baskets after they shot 38.9% from the field which was the worst offensive effort of the season. Over their last five games, the Raptors are scoring 106.8 PPG whole making 45.3% of their shots which is far below their 114.3 PPG scoring average for the season along with a 48.1% field goal percentage. Miami is without their best scoring threat in Goran Dragic who is dealing with a knee injury. They have played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 21 of their last 29 games Under the Total after a double-digit victory. The Heat’s upset victory has actually been their fifth straight upset win this month. Miami has played 31 of their last 46 games Under the Total after an upset victory — and they have played 12 of their last 13 games Under the Total after pulling off two straight upset victories. Furthermore, the Heat have played 9 straight games Under the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. Over their last five games, they are scoring 102.4 PPG while making just 42.5% of their shots — and both those marks are a bit below their 106.5 PPG scoring average along with a 43.2% field goal percentage. But Miami is getting it done because of their defense as of late. They have held their last five opponents to just 94.0 PPG along with an opponent’s field goal percentage of 39.1% — and those numbers represent a vast improvement over the 106.3 PPG they are allowing this season on 43.9% shooting from the field. Furthermore, the Heat have played 5 straight games at home Under the Total.
FINAL TAKE: With some of the key offensive players on both teams out for this game — and with both these teams playing better on defense, expect a lower-scoring game. 10* NBA Wednesday Daily Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Toronto Raptors (573) and the Miami Heat (573).

At 3:00 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Oklahoma City Thunder (559) and the Houston Rockets (560). THE SITUATION: Oklahoma City (21-11) saw their four-game winning streak on Sunday with a 114-112 loss at home to Minnesota despite being 6-point favorites in that game. Houston (17-15) has won six of their last seven games with their 108-101 win over San Antonio as a 4.5-point favorite on Saturday.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Thunder have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total after suffering an upset loss against a divisional rival as a home favorite. Oklahoma City allowed the Timberwolves to make 49.4% of their shots which was the worst defensive effort in their last four games. The Thunder have been playing outstanding defense even without their star defender Andre Roberson on the shelf with a knee injury. Oklahoma City leads the NBA in Points-Per-Possession allowed along with forced turnovers. They have played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total after a game where at least 225 combined points were scored. Now the Thunder go back on the road where they have played 17 of their last 24 games Under the Total — and they have played 39 of their last 55 road games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. OKC has also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record — and they have played 9 straight games Under the Total when listed in the +/- 3-point range. Houston (17-15) has played 30 of their last 48 home games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and the Rockets have played 32 of their last 45 games Under the Total after winning two of their last three games. Houston has also played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. This team will once again be without Chris Paul for two to four weeks after he suffered a hamstring strain a few days ago. His loss is critical since he was the best complementary scoring option to James Harden this season. The Rockets stay at home where they have played 5 of their last 7 home games Under the Total against teams with a winning record on the road. Furthermore, Houston has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record — and the Under is 40-18-1 in their last 59 games when facing a team with a winning percentage of 60% or higher. The Rockets will revenge on their home from a 98-80 upset loss to the Thunder back on November 8th as a 5-point favorite. Houston has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total when looking to avenge a double-digit loss to their opponent.
FINAL TAKE: The absence of Paul makes the Rockets easier to defend since their opponents can focus on slowing down Russell Westbrook. As it is, these two teams have played 5 of their last 6 meetings Under the Total. Expect that trend to continue this afternoon. 25* NBA Pre-All Star Break ABC-TV Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Oklahoma City Thunder (559) and the Houston Rockets (560).

At 8:05 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Orlando Magic (511) and the Chicago Bulls (512). THE SITUATION: Orlando (14-16) saw their two-game winning streak snapped on Wednesday with their 129-90 loss at home to San Antonio as a 3-point underdog. Chicago (7-25) has lost five of their last six games with their 96-93 loss to Brooklyn as a 1.5-point underdog on Wednesday.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Magic played the worst defensive game of the season as they allowed the Spurs to make 64.9% of their shots in that game. Expect a focused defensive effort tonight. Orlando has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after allowing at least 125 points in their last game. The Magic have also played 20 of their last 27 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a loss by at least 10 points. Now this team goes back on the road where they limit their home hosts to just a 43.7% field goal percentage. Orlando has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total on the road — and they also played 11 of their last 12 road games Under the Total against teams with a losing record on their home court. The Magic are struggling to make shots after limping out of that game with the Spurs with a 38.2% field goal percentage. Over their last five games, Orlando is making only 40.4% of their shots. Chicago has seen the Under go 22-8-1 in their last 31 games after a straight-up loss. The Bulls are missing two important pieces of their offensive attack with both Zach Levine and Bobby Portis out with injuries. Chicago stays at home where the Under is 10-2-1 in their last 13 games — and the Under is also 6-1-1 in their last 8 home games against teams with a losing record on the road. The Bulls have also played 13 of their last 16 home games Under the Total against fellow Eastern Conference opponents.
FINAL TAKE: These two teams have played 5 straight games Under the Total when playing in Chicago.

At 7:05 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the San Antonio Spurs (555) and the Orlando Magic (556). THE SITUATION: San Antonio (16-15) has won five of their last six games with their 123-96 win over Philadelphia as a 1-point favorite on Monday. Orlando (14-15) has won two straight games after their 96-89 upset win over Utah as a 6-point underdog on Saturday.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Spurs have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a point spread victory. Furthermore, San Antonio has played 4 straight games Under the Total after a double-digit win — and they have played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total after winning four or five of their last six games. The Spurs made 56.3% of their shots against the Sixers — but they have played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total after making at least 55% of their shots in their last game. But now this team goes back on the road where they are making only 45.7% of their shots which is a bit lower than their 46.9% field goal percentage for the season. San Antonio has played 4 straight games Under the Total when playing on the road as the favorite. This team is playing their best defense of the season right now as they have held their last five opponents to just a 40.7% field goal percentage while not allowing any of these last five opponents to make more than 43.5% of their shots. Orlando played their best defensive game of the season on Saturday by holding the Jazz to just a 31.5% field goal percentage. The Magic have held their last five opponents to just a 44.6% field goal percentage which compares favorably to their opponent’s field goal percentage of 45.7% for the season. But Orlando is only making 42.4% of their shots over their last five games (resulting in just 95.4 PPG) which is far below their 44.9% field goal percentage for the year. They take the court again after a nice break— and they have played 4 straight games Under the Total when playing with at least three days of rest. Additionally, the Magic have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total on their home court — and they have also played 5 of their last 7 home games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. Furthermore, Orlando has played 28 of their last 41 home games Under the Total with the Total set in the 210 to 219.5 point range including six Unders in these last eight situations. The Magic have played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record — and they have played 22 of their last 32 games Under the Total against fellow Western Conference opponents.
FINAL TAKE: These two teams have played 7 of their last 8 meetings Under the Total — and this includes playing four straight Unders when the game is played in Orlando. Expect another low-scoring game. 10* NBA Wednesday Daily Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the San Antonio Spurs (555) and the Orlando Magic (556). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 7:05 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the New York Knicks (553) and the Philadelphia 76ers (554). THE SITUATION: New York (9-23) has lost two straight games as well as seven of their last eight contests with their 128-110 loss to Phoenix on Monday as a 1.5-point underdog. Philadelphia (20-12) has lost three of their last four games with their 123-96 loss in San Antonio on Monday as a 1-point underdog.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: The Knicks have played 4 straight 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 setback. Additionally, New York has played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a loss by at least 10 points. Furthermore, while the Knicks have allowed at least 110 points in eleven straight games, they have then played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total after allowing at least 110 points in four straight contests. New York has also failed to cover the point spread in six of their last eight games — and they have played 9 of their last 10 games Over the Total after only covering the point spread once or twice in their last six games. This is an injured group right now with Allonzo Trier, Mitchell Robinson, and Damyean Dotson all out for this game and Tim Hardway listed as questionable with a heel injury. These absences probably hurt the Knicks defense more than it does their offense. Over their last five games, New York is scoring 109.6 PPG but they are giving up 118.8 PPG to their opponents while playing at a fast pace. Now they go on the road where they have played 9 of their last 12 games Over the Total. They have also played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total as a double-digit underdog. And while they will be looking to avenge a 117-91 loss to the Sixers back on November 28th, the Knicks have played 11 of their last 16 games Over the Total when motivated by revenge from a loss by at least 20 points. New York made only 40.4% of their shots in their last game which was the lowest field goal percentage in their last six games — but Philadelphia comes off a game where they made just 40.8% of their shots which was the lowest field goal percentage they have endured all season. The 76ers have played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total after a point spread setback. Furthermore, Philly has played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a double-digit loss. And while they have allowed at least 105 points in seven straight games, they have then played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total after allowing at least 105 points in their last game. The Sixers return home where they are scoring 116.1 PPG while allowing 108.8 PPG to their opponents. Over their last five games, they are allowing their opponents to make 49.3% of their shots. This is their sixth game in ten days — and they have played 9 of their last 11 games Over the Total when playing at least their sixth game in the last ten days.
FINAL TAKE: Both these teams are likely to shoot much better from the field after poor shooting efforts in their last game. Defense will likely be hard to come by given injuries and fatigue — and that means plenty of scoring from two teams very happy to push the pace. 25* NBA Atlantic Division Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the New York Knicks (553) and the Philadelphia 76ers (554).

At 7:05 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (545) and the Indiana Pacers (546). THE SITUATION: Cleveland (7-23) has lost two straight games with their 128-105 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday as a 9-point underdog. Indiana (20-10) has won seven straight games with their 110-99 win over New York as a 12-point favorite on Sunday.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Pacers have raised their level of play on the defensive end of the court. During their seven-game winning streak, Indiana is allowing their opponents to score just 97.4 points per 100 possessions. Their last five opponents are shooting just 41.6% from the field. The Under is 35-16-1 in the Pacers’ last 52 games after a straight-up win — and they have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a double-digit victory. This team stays at home where they are scoring 105.2 PPG while holding their opponents to just 97.7 PPG — and both those numbers are below their 106.7 PPG scoring average along with their 101.2 PPG defensive average overall this season. Indiana has played 39 of their last 58 games Under the Total on their home court — and this includes them playing twelve of their last fifteen home games Under the Total. The Pacers have also played 10 of their last 12 home games Under the Total as the favorite — and they have played 5 of their last 6 home games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. Indiana has played ten straight games Under the Total — and while that might perk the interests of some contrarian bettors, the Pacers have played 22 of their last 31 games Under the Total when on an Under streak of at least four games which includes them playing eight of their last nine Under the Total if they have played at least four straight Unders before that game. Furthermore, Indiana has played 5 straight games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% — and the Under is 19-6-1 in their last 27 games against fellow NBA Central opponents. Cleveland has played 9 of their last 13 games Under the Total against Central Division rivals. They have lost two straight games by double-digits with their loss to the 76ers preceded by a 114-102 loss to Milwaukee — and the Cavaliers have plated 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after losing two straight games by double-digits. This team is ravaged with injuries with Tristan Thompson joining Kevin Love being on the shelf — and they are not playing their outside shooting threat in J.R. Smith so he can be kept healthy so that he retains some trade value. Head coach Larry Drew will want his team to play harder on defense after allowing the Sixers to make 56% of their shots which was the second worst defensive effort of the season. Now the Cavs go on the road where they score 100.7 PPG which is -2.7 PPG below their overall season average. Cleveland has played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total on the road. They also have played 8 of the last 10 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%.
FINAL TAKE: The Cavaliers are looking to avenge a 119-107 loss at home to the Pacers back on October 27th — and they have played 6 of their last 9 games Under the total when playing with same-season revenge. The Under is 7-3-1 in the last 11 games between these two teams — and these two teams have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total when meeting at Indiana. 25* NBA Central Division Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (545) and the Indiana Pacers (546).

New Orleans (15-15) also comes off an upset victory with their 118-114 win over Oklahoma City as a 4-point underdog on Friday.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Heat have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have also played 5 straight games Under the Total after a point spread victory. Additionally, Miami has played 6 straight games Under the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. The Heat will be without their most reliable go-to scoring option in Goran Dragic who is out with a knee injury. Miami is playing lower-scoring games as of late. They have allowed 102.4 PPG over their last five contests which is almost 6 points lower than the 108.1 PPG they are allowing for the season. The Heat have also played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total against Western Conference opponents. New Orleans has played 5 straight games Under the Total against Eastern Conference foes. The Pelicans have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a point spread win. Additionally, New Orleans has played 4 straight games Under the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game — and they have played 4 straight games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last contest. The Pelicans will also be without a key piece on offense with Nikola Mirotic out indefinitely with an ankle injury. New Orleans is scoring 113.8 PPG over their last five games while allowing 109.6 PPG — and both those marks are a bit below the 117.4 PPG they are scoring and the 115.5 PPG they are allowing this season. Together, these team trends produce our specific 37-1 combined angle for this situation.
FINAL TAKE: With both teams being without one of their top scorers, expect a lower scoring game even if played at a fast pace. 10* NBA Over/Under Situational Special with Under the Total in the game between the Miami Heat (525) and the New Orleans Pelicans (526). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 9:30 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the TCU Horned Frogs (527) and the USC Trojans (528). THE SITUATION: TCU (6-1) has won three games in a row with their 67-59 win at SMU on Wednesday as a 1.5-point favorite. USC (5-3) saw their three-game winning streak snapped last Saturday with their 73-61 loss to Nevada as a 6-point underdog.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Horned Frogs have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. TCU entered this season with head coach Jamie Dixon making improving their play on the defensive end of the court a high priority. Defending the perimeter was particularly important to Dixon after the Horned Frogs allowed Big 12 opponents to make a whopping 42% of their 3-pointers. So far, so good this season as their opponents are making just 25.9% of their shots from behind the arc which is 8th best in the nation. Overall, TCU ranks 13th in the nation with an opponent’s field goal percentage of just 43.1%. The Horned Frogs have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% — and they have played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total against non-conference opponents. TCU has also played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total when listed as the favorite. USC has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have also played 11 of the last 13 games Under the Total after winning two of their last three games. And while their last game with the Wolf Pack finished below the 161 point Total, the Trojans have played 18 of their last 25 games Under the Total after playing a game that finished Under the Total. USC is also playing strong defense as they rank 18th in the nation with an opponent’s effective field goal percentage of 42.5%. The Trojans have played 9 of their last 13 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. USC has played their last three games at home — and they have then played 27 of their last 39 games Under the Total after playing three straight games at home. And in their last 5 games played on a neutral court, the Trojans have played 4 of these games Under the Total.
FINAL TAKE: This is the middle game of a three-game event at the Staples Center in Los Angeles for the Hall of Fame Classic. Expect a lower scoring game on this neutral court for both teams. 10* CBB Friday Daily Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the TCU Horned Frogs (527) and the USC Trojans (528).

At 10:35 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (705) and the Utah Jazz (706). THE SITUATION: Houston (11-12) saw their two-game winning streak end on Monday with their 103-91 loss at Minnesota despite being a 2.5-point favorite in that game. Utah (12-13) has won three of their last four games with their dominant 139-105 win over San Antonio on Tuesday as a 7.5-point favorite.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: The Jazz may have had a breakthrough on the offensive end of the court. They shot a season-high 60.7% from the field — but the encouraging aspect of that game was that all thirteen players registered at least one assist in that game. Looking for the extra pass creates better scoring opportunities — and twelve of the Utah players made at least 50% of their shots in that game with seven players scoring in double-digits. The Jazz also made 20 shots from behind the arc while making a whopping 60.6% of their 3-point shots. The Over is 8-1-1 in Utah’s last 10 games after a game where they scored at least 125 points in their last game. The Jazz have also played 6 straight games Over the Total after a double-digit victory — and they have played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total after a point spread victory. Defense remains a concern for this team, however, as they are allowing visiting teams to make 49.6% of their shots on their home court which has translated into 112.4 PPG. Utah has played 7 straight games Over the Total on their home court. Houston has played 5 straight games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 straight games Over the Total after a point spread victory. The Rockets have also played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. Houston has a healthy Chris Paul back into the mix again but they made only 43.2% of their shots on Monday which was the worst shooting effort in their last six games. Even with that poor performance, the Rockets are scoring a robust 117.4 PPG on 47.5% shooting with Paul back on the court over their last five games with that field goal percentage far above their 44.9% mark for the season. Houston also held the Timberwolves to just a 43.9% field goal percentage which was their lowest opponent’s field goal percentage for the season. Unfortunately, that effort was likely an aberration for a team that has allowed their last nine opponents to score 116.1 PPG which has contributed to them drop to 25th in the league in Defensive Rating. Even after Monday, the Rockets have allowed their last five opponents to make 49% of their shots with this team still not finding answers on the defensive end of the court after not resigning Trevor Ariza and Luc Mbah a Moute in the offseason. Now this team goes back on the road where they have played 4 of the last 5 games Over the Total — and they have played 21 of their last 32 games Over the Total in the month of December.
FINAL TAKE: With this Total set in the high 210s, expect both teams to reach the 110 point threshold in what shapes up to be a barn burner. 25* NBA Thursday TNT Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (705) and the Utah Jazz (706). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:05 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Charlotte Hornets (509) and the Minnesota Timberwolves (510). THE SITUATION: Charlotte (11-12) has lost two straight games with their 119-109 loss to New Orleans on Sunday as a 3-point favorite. Minnesota (12-12) has won five of their last six games with their 103-91 win over Houston on Monday as a 2.5-point underdog.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: One of the results of the Jimmy Butler trade for the Timberwolves was an improvement of their play on the defensive end of the court. Adding Robert Covington and Dario Saric gives the team two players who are strong defenders. Over their last five games, Minnesota is holding their opponents to just 42.3% shooting which is significantly better than their 45.5% opponent’s field goal percentage for the season. Save for the Celtics scoring 117 points against them, the T-Wolves have held their other four opponents to no more than 95 points. Their victory over the Rockets on Monday fell well below the 223 point total — and they have played 12 of their last 15 games Under the Total after playing a game that finished Under the Total. Minnesota has played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total after a point spread victory. Furthermore, the Timberwolves have played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. And in their last 8 games against fellow Eastern Conference opponents, Minnesota has played 6 of these games Under the Total. Charlotte has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against Western Conference opponents. The Hornets have suffered two straight upset losses at home as they enter this game — and they have played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after losing two straight games Under the Total after suffering two straight losses at home as the favorite. Additionally, Charlotte has played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total after playing a game where at least 225 combined point were scored. They go back on the road where they are making only 42.8% of their shots which is a bit lower than their 46% field goal percentage for the season. The Hornets have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total on the road — and they have played 7 of their last 9 road games Under the Total against teams with a winning record at home.
FINAL TAKE: The team trends strongly indicate that both teams tend to play lower than expected scoring games in situations like this. 25* NBA Non-Conference Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Charlotte Hornets (509) and the Minnesota Timberwolves (510).

At 7:00 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Ohio State Buckeyes (529) and the Illinois Fighting Illini (530). THE SITUATION: Ohio State (7-1) enters this game coming off their 79-59 win over Minnesota as an 8.5-point favorite on Sunday. Illinois (2-6) has lost their last two games with their 75-60 loss at Nebraska as a 13-point underdog at Nebraska.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Buckeyes have played 21 of their last 30 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 15 of their last 20 games Under the Total after a double-digit victory. Additionally, Ohio State has played 17 of their last 22 games Under the Total after a point spread victory. This team plays excellent defense for head coach Chris Holtmann as they rank 21st in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. They also rank 10th in the country by holding their opponents to just a 42.2% effective field goal percentage — and opponents are shooting only 37.2% from the field against them overall. This game is being played on a neutral court in the Chicago Bulls’ United Center. The Buckeyes are scoring only 66.5 PPG with a 45.1% field goal percentage in their two games away from Columbus so far this season. Those numbers are far below their 78.4 PPG and 48.3 % shooting marks for the season. Ohio State has played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total when playing on a neutral court. Illinois has seen the Under go 20-8-1 in their last 29 games after a straight-up win. Brad Underwood’s team is launching plenty of shots — they have attempted 11 and 14 more shots than their opponents over their last two games. The Illini have then played 15 of their last 20 games Under the Total after shooting at least 10 more times than their opponent in two straight games. Illinois has played five of their games away from Champagne this season — and they are averaging only 70.8 PPG while making only 40.6% of their shots which is far below their 77.4 PPG scoring average for the season along with their 44.9% field goal percentage for the year. The Illini have played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total when playing on a neutral court — and they have played 8 straight games Under the Total as an underdog or pick ‘em on a neutral court. Illinois has also played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record.
FINAL TAKE: These two teams have played 7 of their last 9 encounters Under the Total. With this game being played in an unfamiliar environment for both teams, expect another lower-scoring game. 25* CBB Big Ten Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Ohio State Buckeyes (529) and the Illinois Fighting Illini (530).

At 7:35 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Orlando Magic (703) and the Miami Heat (704). THE SITUATION: Orlando (11-12) snapped their two-game losing streak on Friday with their 99-85 win at Phoenix as a 4-point favorite. Miami (9-13) has won two straight games after their 102-100 upset at Utah as a 4-point underdog on Sunday.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Heat’s win was their second straight upset victory after they stunned New Orleans as a 3-point underdog on Friday. Miami has then played 10 of their last 11 games Under the Total after pulling off an upset win as a home underdog. The Heat have also played 9 straight games Under the Total after pulling off two straight upset victories. Furthermore, Miami has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. This is a team riddled with injuries right now. Dion Waiters and Goran Dragic are both out indefinitely and Rodney McGruder is questionable with the ankle injury he suffered in that game with the Jazz. The Heat pulled off that upset win despite making only 39.6% of their shots — and this team is still without their best offensive pieces. They stay at home where they are shooting only 43.1% from the field. Miami has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total when playing at home. Orlando has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total when playing with at least three days of rest. They go back on the road where they have played 10 of their last 11 games Under the Total against teams with a losing record at home. The Magic have also played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total when listed in the +/- 3-point range. Orlando has covered the point spread in four straight games — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after covering the point spread in four straight games. And in their last 5 games against fellow Eastern Conference opponents, the game finished Under the Total 4 times.
FINAL TAKE: These two teams played on opening night this season with the Magic pulling the 104-101 upset with that final score finishing just below the 207.5 point total. Expect another Under tonight. 25* NBA Southeast Division Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Orlando Magic (703) and the Miami Heat (704). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 11:30 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Auburn Tigers (577) and the Arizona Wildcats (578). THE SITUATION: Auburn (4-1) lost in the Semifinals of the Maui Invitational last night by a 78-72 score to Duke as 11-point underdogs. Arizona (4-1) then lost in the Semifinals of this tournament to Gonzaga by a 91-74 score as an 11-point underdog as well.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Wildcats made only 41.2% of their shots against the Bulldogs. 3-point shooting is an issue for this team as I flagged yesterday in the Report taking Gonzaga. Arizona makes only 30.4% of their 3-point shots which ranks 266th in the nation — and that is exactly what they shot last night by making only 7 of their 23 shots (30.4%) from behind the arc. While this subpar 3-point shooting has been consistent, expect the Wildcats to play better on the defensive end of the court after Gonzaga made 53.1% of their shots. That was Arizona’s worst defensive effort of this young season — but they are still holding their opponents to just a 39.9% field goal percentage for the season. The Wildcats have played 5 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss. Additionally, Arizona has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after allowing no more than 90 points in their last game. Additionally, the Under is 4-1-1 in the Wildcats’ last 6 games against teams with a winning percentage below 60% — and the Under is also 6-1-1 in their last 8 games against teams outside the Pac-12. And in their last 5 games played on a neutral court, the Under is 3-1-1. Auburn held Duke to a 44.4% field goal percentage which was the worst defensive performance in their last three games. The Tigers rank 17th in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. Bruce Pearl will want his team to commit fewer personal fouls after being whistled for 24 fouls against the Blue Devils. Auburn was called for 23 personal fouls the previous day in their opening round game against Xavier — but they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after being whistled for at least 22 fouls in two straight games. The Tigers have also played 11 of their last 16 games Under the Total after winning four of their last five games. And in their last 6 games played on a neutral court, the game finished Under the Total 5 times.
FINAL TAKE: Both these teams are playing their third game in three days — so fatigue might be a factor. Both Pearl and Sean Miller want their teams to have their defense serve as the foundation of their team play — so expect intensity on that end of the court to be a priority for both teams in this consolation game. 25* CBB Maui Invitational Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Auburn Tigers (577) and the Arizona Wildcats (578).

Boston (9-8) has lost two straight games after their 117-112 loss in Charlotte on Monday as a 3.5-point favorite.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: The Knicks have played 4 straight 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. New York has also played 21 of their last 31 games Over the Total when playing without a day of rest. Now the Knicks go back on the road where they are allowing their home hosts to score 117.8 PPG while shooting 48.9% from the field. Over their last five games, New York is seeing their opponents make 50.1% of their shots. The Knicks have played 4 straight games Over the Total on the road — and they have also played 5 straight road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record at home. Boston has suffered two straight upset loss as their upset loss against the Hornets was preceded by a 98-86 loss at home to Utah as a 4-point favorite on Saturday.

Furthermore, Boston has played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total after enduring two straight upset losses. Now the Celtics return home where they have played 6 of their last 8 home games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road.
FINAL TAKE: Boston is a heavy favorite tonight being asked to lay 14 or so points.

At 10:35 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Portland Trail Blazers (721) and the Los Angeles Lakers (722). THE SITUATION: Portland (10-3) has won four straight games with their 100-94 win over Boston on Sunday as a 4-point favorite. Los Angeles (7-6) has won three straight games as well as five of their last six games with their 107-106 victory over Atlanta on Sunday as an 11-point favorite.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Lakers improved play can be tied to improved play on the defensive end of the court. Los Angeles has not allowed their last nine opponents to shoot better than 50% from the field while holding their last five opponents to just a 43.1% field goal percentage. The Lakers have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a point spread loss — and the Under is also 5-0-1 in their last 6 games after a straight-up win. Los Angeles has also played 6 straight games Under the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game — and they have played 5 straight games Under the Total after a point spread win. The Lakers stay at home where they have played 4 straight games Under the Total on their home court — and they have also seen the Under go 5-0-1 in their last 6 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. LA has also played 4 straight games Under the Total against Western Conference opponents while the Trail Blazers have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against Western Conference foes. Portland is also playing hard on the defensive end of the court as they have held their last five opponents to just a 42.2% field goal percentage — and they are holding their home hosts to just a 42.1% shooting percentage. The Trail Blazers have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a point spread victory. Portland has also played 5 straight games Under the Total. This team has also played 9 of their last 13 road games Under the Total against a team with a winning record — and they have also played 13 of their last 17 road games Under the Total when listed in the +/- 3-point range.
FINAL TAKE: This is already the third meeting between these two teams after the Lakers pulled the upset over the Trail Blazers back on November 3rd by a 114-110 score as a 3.5-point favorite that finished well below the 236 point total. This third clash probably favors the respective defenses who can continue to fine-tune their defensive approaches against a familiar opponent. As it is, these two teams have played 7 straight games Under the Total when playing in LA. 25* NBA Wednesday ESPN Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Portland Trail Blazers (721) and the Los Angeles Lakers (722).

At 8:05 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Dallas Mavericks (707) and the Chicago Bulls (708). THE SITUATION: Dallas (4-8) has won of their last three games with their 111-96 win against Oklahoma City on Saturday as a 1.5-point favorite. Chicago (4-9) has won two of their last three games as well with their 99-98 win over Cleveland as a 4.5-point favorite on Saturday.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Mavericks enjoyed their best offensive performance of the season in their win over the Thunder as they shot 55.8% of their shots from the floor. Dallas also limited OKC to just a 39.2% shooting percentage — and that defensive effort should travel on the road tonight. The Mavs have played 9 of their last 13 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. They will be a short one or two of their key contributors tonight with Wesley Matthews doubtful with a hamstring injury while rookie Luka Doncic is questionable with a knee. Dallas goes on the road where they have played 17 of their last 26 road games Under the Total with the number in the 210 to 219.5 point range. The Mavericks have also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40%. Chicago is also undermanned with Bobby Portis, Kris Dunn and Lauri Markkanen all out with injuries. But this team is still playing hard on the defensive end of the court. They limited the Cavaliers to just a 42.9% shooting percentage on Saturday — and that is exactly the same opponent’s field goal percentage that their last five opponents have averaged. The Bulls have played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. They stay at home where they have played 4 straight games Under the Total — and they have also played 8 of their last 11 home games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road.
FINAL TAKE: These two teams played back on October 22nd with the Mavericks winning that game in Dallas by a 115-109 score. That game fell well below the 229 point total — expect this game to also finish below the number given the injuries both teams have now experienced. 25* NBA Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Dallas Mavericks (707) and the Chicago Bulls (708).

At 9:10 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (507) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (508). THE SITUATION: Golden State (73-29) took a commanding 3-0 lead in this series on Wednesday with their 110-102 win in Cleveland (62-41) as a closing 3.5-point favorite. They have the opportunity to win back-to-back NBA Championships Friday night.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Warriors shot 51.9% from the field after making 57.3% of their shots in Game Two — but they have then played 18 of their last 27 games Under the Total after making at least 50% of their shots in two straight games. Golden State has also played 14 of their last 20 games Under the Total after winning at least four straight games — and they have played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. The Warriors have also played 4 straight games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. Additionally, Golden State has now played 20 of their last 28 road games Under the Total which includes them playing seven of their last eight games Under the Total against teams with a winning record at home. And in their last 4 opportunities to close-out a playoff series, the Warriors have played all 4 games Under the Total. Cleveland has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. They also have played 11 of their last 14 games Under the Total when playing no more than their fifth game over the last fourteen days. Furthermore, the Cavaliers had 92 shots attempts in Game Three after taking 90 shots in Game Two — and they have then played 25 of their last 36 games Under the Total after attempting at least 90 shots in two straight games and this includes playing their last four games below the number in that situation. And in their last 17 home games against teams with a winning record on the road, Cleveland has played 12 of these games Under the Total.
FINAL TAKE: This is the first game in this series that will be played with just one day of rest. I look for a slower-paced game than the first three games of the series with perhaps both offenses taking a step back without the extra rest. 25* NBA Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (507) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (508).

This series travels to Cleveland (62-40) for Games Three and Four.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Warriors were on fire with their shooting in their two games at the Oracle Center. They made 65% of their shots inside the arc in those two games while nailing 28 of their 72 (38.9%) of their shots from 3-point land. Golden State made 57.3% of their shots overall on Sunday (after making 51.1% of their shots in Game One) which was not only their best field goal percentage in their 42 games but was also the best shooting mark in the playoffs for them in the Steve Kerr coaching era. The Warriors have played 17 of their last 26 games Under the Total after shooting at least 50% from the field in two straight games. Additionally, Golden State has played 11 of their last 17 games after a point spread as a double-digit favorite.

And in their last 6 games when not playing more than their third game in ten days, Cleveland has played all 6 of these games Under the Total.
FINAL TAKE: The Total is rising after the first two games of this series finished Over the Total.

THE SITUATION: Golden State (71-29) won the opening game of this series with their 124-114 win in overtime on Thursday over the Cavaliers as a 12.5-point favorite.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: These two teams had their offensive clicking in the first-half with the halftime score being a 56-56 tie. But things slowed down in the second-half — and that game only needed a flurry of baskets in the final two minutes of the game to reach 214 combined points (before overtime allowed for all Over tickets to be redeemed). Cleveland (62-29) has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 16 of their last 23 games Under the Total after a point spread victory. And while the Cavs have covered the point spread in four of their last five games, they have then played 9 of their last 13 games Under the Total after covering the point spread in four of their last five games. The extended schedule should help Cleveland’s effort on defense as they Under is 4-1-1 in the last 6 games when playing with two days of rest — and they have played 4 straight games Under the Total when playing just their second game in seven days. The Cavs have also played 4 of their last 5 road games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. Golden State shot 51.1% from the field which was their best shooting effort in their last five games. The Warriors have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and the Under is 20-7-1 in their last 28 games after a point spread loss. The Under is also 19-6-1 in Golden State’s last 26 games after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. The Warriors were out-rebounded by a 53 to 38 margin — and they have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after being out-rebounded by at least 15 boards. Golden State has also played 4 of the last 5 games Under the Total on their home court — and they have played 40 of their last 65 home games Under the Total when laying 6.5 to 12 points.

Golden State (70-29) sealed their fate to make this the fourth straight meeting between these two teams in the NBA Finals with their 101-92 win in Houston on Monday as a 6-point favorite. The first two games of this series are at the Warriors’ Oracle Center.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: The Cavaliers held the Celtics to a season-low opponent’s field goal percentage of 34.1% on Sunday — but anyone watching that game will attest that Boston’s pathetic shooting deserves most of the credit for those numbers. Cleveland has then played 12 of the last 18 games Over the Total after not allowing more than 85 points in their last game — and they have played 3 of their last 4 games Over the Total after not allowing their last opponent to shoot better than 35% from the field. Additionally, the Cavaliers have played 31 of their last 45 road games Over the Total with the number set in the 210 to 219.5 point range. And while the last meeting between these two teams back on January 15th resulted in a 118-108 victory for the Warriors in Cleveland, the Cavs have then played 13 of their last 21 games Over the Total when avenging a double-digit loss. Golden State closed out their series with the Rockets by playing five straight games Under the Total. The Warriors have then played 3 of their last 4 games Over the Total after playing four straight Unders. Golden State has also played a decisive 42 of their last 69 home games Over the Total when favored in the 12.5 to 18 points favorites — and this includes playing nine of their last fourteen Over the Total in that situation.
FINAL TAKE: These two teams played four straight Overs to close out the NBA Finals last year with the Total ranging from 222 in Game Two to 231 in the final Game Five. While both these are not as potent offensive units as they were last year at this time, they both should play at a fast pace once again that both teams prefer. 25* NBA Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (501) and the Golden State Warriors (502).

At 9:05 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (511) and the Houston Rockets (512). THE SITUATION: Golden State (69-29) forced a decisive seventh game in this series on Saturday with their 115-86 victory over the Rockets. This series returns to Houston (76-22) for the climactic seventh game.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: Golden State found their stroke in the second-half on Saturday en route to their 64 points scored in those final 24 minutes. The Warriors shot 49.4% from the field in that game which was the best offensive effort in their last three contests. But Golden State has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. Additionally, the Warriors have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total when on the road. And in their last 9 games in the playoffs with the series tied at 1-1, 2-2 or 3-3, Golden State has played 7 of these games Under the Total. Houston only scored 29 points in the second-half to make the Boston Celtics’ second-half performance last night look like an offensive juggernaut — this team’s ability to score points without Chris Paul on the court is in serious question. And yet their 40.3% field goal percentage was the best offensive effort in their last four games. The Rockets have played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. Additionally, Houston has played 15 of their last 21 games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. Additionally. the Rockets have played 16 of their last 23 home games Under the Total — and they have played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total as an underdog. Lastly, Houston has played 14 of their last 19 potential closeout games in the playoffs Under the Total.
FINAL TAKE: Game Seven offers a Total that is way below the mid-220s that were offered in the opening games of this series. Yet this is a battle that has seen the respective defenses of both teams have more consistent success than the offenses. 10* NBA Monday Night Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (511) and the Houston Rockets (512).

At 8:35 PM ET own Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between Cleveland Cavaliers (711) and the Boston Celtics (712). THE SITUATION: Cleveland (61-38) forced a climactic seventh game of this series on Friday with their 109-99 win over the Celtics. This series returns to TD Garden in Boston (66-34) tonight.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: Cleveland was carried by LeBron James who scored 46 points on 17 of 33 shooting from the field who led his team to victory. George Hill added another 20 points on 7 of 12 shooting — but he is scoring only 5 PPG on 31% shooting when playing on the road in this series. Who will step up to help James with the scoring tonight? The Cavaliers have played 16 of their last 27 road games when listed in the +/- 3-point range. Additionally, Cleveland has played 13 of their last 20 games Under the Total after a double-digit victory — and they have played 15 of their last 21 games Under the Total after a point spread victory. Additionally, the Cavaliers have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total when tied in a playoff series. Boston made 51.4% of their shots on Friday which was their best offensive effort in their last eleven games. But they should tighten up on offense in this climactic seventh game. They have played 33 of their last 52 games Under the Total in expected close games where they are listed in the +/- 3-point range — and this includes them playing 12 of their last 15 home games when listed in the +/- 3-point range.
FINAL TAKE: With the pressure of this climactic seventh game, the unreliable Cavs supporting cast combined with this young Celtics roster will likely result in a lower scoring game. 25* NBA Sunday Night O/U Special Feature with Under the Total in the game between Cleveland Cavaliers (711) and the Boston Celtics (712).

At 9:05 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (509) and the Golden State Warriors (510). THE SITUATION: Houston (76-21) seized a 3-2 lead in this series on Thursday with their 98-94 upset win over the Warriors as a 1-point underdog. This series returns to the Oracle Center with Golden State (68-29) looking to stave off elimination.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Rockets will be without Chris Paul in this contest who suffered a hamstring injury late in Thursday’s game. Paul was essential in that contest as he was his team’s best offensive player. James Harden is in a massive slump: he has missed 20 straight 3-pointers while making only 36.8% of his shots since the first game of this series. Houston will have to rely on their defense that has held the Warriors to under 100 points in two straight games with a series of sophisticated switching techniques that has frustrated this Golden State team. The Rockets have played 19 of their last 26 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 5 of their last 7 games after an upset win as a home underdog. Houston has also played 14 of their last 17 games Under the Total after a win by 6 points or less. And while the last three games in this series have gone Under the Total, the Rockets have then played 12 of their last 17 games Under the Total after playing at least three straight Unders. Additionally, Houston has played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total on the road as an underdog. Golden State has been lulled into exacerbating some of the bad habits they have picked on offense this year. They are attempting to execute isolation plays at triple the rate they were during the regular season which is not the egalitarian pass-oriented offense that Steve Kerr wants from this team. The Warriors clearly miss Andre Iguodala who remains listed as questionable for tonight’s game. The Warriors have seen the Under go 5-0-1 in their last 6 games after a straight-up loss — and the Under is 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 games after a point spread loss. Golden State returns home where they have played 13 of their last 20 home games Under the Total against teams with a winning record on the road. And in their last 20 games when playing with same-season revenge, the Warriors have played 13 of these games Under the Total.
FINAL TAKE: Houston is missing a key piece of their offense while Golden State is out-of-synch on offense. Yet both these teams with Top-Ten defenses during the regular season in terms of efficiency will lean on their defensive efforts in this contest. 25* NBA Saturday Night O/U Special Feature with Under the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (509) and the Golden State Warriors (510).

At 8:35 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Boston Celtics (709) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (710). THE SITUATION: Boston (66-33) took a 3-2 lead in this series on Wednesday with their 96-83 victory as a 1.5-point favorite. The series returns to Cleveland tonight with the Cavaliers (60-38) looking to stave off elimination.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: Brad Stevens has moved Aaron Baynes into his starting lineup for Marcus Morris which has made things more difficult for LeBron James to attack the basket off pick-and-rolls. The Celtics have then played 26 of their last 37 games Under the Total after allowing 90 or fewer points in their last game. Boston has also played 5 straight games Under the Total after both a straight-up win as well as after a point spread victory. Additionally, the Celtics have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total on the road — and they have played 13 of their last 21 games Under the Total as road underdog getting 6.5 to 12 points. Furthermore, Boston has played 14 of their last 18 Game Sixes in the playoffs Under the Total. Cleveland (60-38) has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a double-digit loss. Additionally, the Cavaliers have played 5 straight games Under the Total after a game where no more than 185 combined points were scored. Cleveland returns home where they have played 11 of their last 15 home games Under the Total against teams with a winning record on the road. The Cavaliers have also played 25 of their last 39 games Under the Total with the number set in the 200 to 209.5 point range. Lastly, Cleveland has played 4 of their last 5 playoff games Under the Total when trailing in the playoffs.
FINAL TAKE: Boston shot just 36.5% from the floor on Wednesday while Cleveland made only 41.9% of their shots. Rather than those being outlier results, it looks like the adjustments by both coaches have now favored both defenses — and the public has yet to adjust to this new reality with the Total still in the 200s (and climbing as of this writing). 10* NBA Friday Daily Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Boston Celtics (709) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (710).

At 8:35 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (707) and the Boston Celtics (708). THE SITUATION: Cleveland (60-37) held serve at home and evened this series at 2-2 with their 111-102 win over the Celtics as a 7-point favorite. This series moves to Boston (65-33) for Game Five.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: Cleveland made 50.6% of their shots on Monday which was their best offensive effort in their last four games — so they will likely see a drop in their field goal per dentate tonight. The Cavaliers have played 14 of their last 20 games Under the Total after a point spread win. They also have played 15 of their last 22 games Under the Total when playing no more than their fourth game in the last ten days. And while the Cavs have won seven of their last nine games, they have then played 19 of their last 29 games Under the Total after winning six or seven of their last eight games. Additionally, Cleveland has played 6 of their last 8 road games Under the Total with the number set in the 200 to 209.5 point range. Boston allowed the Cavs to generate the highest opponent field goal percentage they have allowed in their last ten games. The Celtics have also played 5 straight games Under the Total when they have scored at least 100 points in their last game. Furthermore, Boston has played 32 of their last 51 games Under the Total in expected close games where they are listed in the +/- 3-point range. And in the last 13 meetings between these two teams in Boston, the game finished Under the Total 10 times.
FINAL TAKE: This is a likely a must-win game for the Celtics which makes this is a crucial game for both sides — and that will likely make things nervy for both teams. 10* NBA Wednesday Daily Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (707) and the Boston Celtics (708).

At 9:05 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (505) and the Golden State Warriors (506). THE SITUATION: Golden State (68-27) took a 2-1 lead in this series on Sunday with their dominating 126-85 victory over the Rockets. They stay at home to host Game Four.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: Golden State shot 52.2% from the field while making 13 of their 32 (40.6%) of their shots from behind the arc — and they will likely keep their offense clicking on all cylinders for this game. They have played 34 of their last 41 games Over the Total after a win by at least 20 points. They have also played an incredible 97 of their last 113 games Over the Total after winning two of their last three games. And while they held Houston (74-21) to just a 39.5% field goal percentage, they have played 28 of their last 30 games(!) Over the Total after not allowing more than 90 points in their last game. Furthermore, the Warriors have played 23 of their last 27 home games Over the Total with the number set at 220 or higher. Golden State has also played 22 of their last 28 home games when favored in the 6.5 to 12 point range. Additionally, the Warriors have played 26 of their last 35 playoff games Over the Total when leading in the series — and they have played 7 of their last 10 Game Fours in the playoffs Over the number. Houston failed to score in triple digits for the first time in these playoffs while that 39.5% field goal percentage was their lowest mark in eleven games. Even worse, their Offensive Rating of 87.9 in that game was their lowest number of the entire season. But the Rockets have then played 8 of their last 11 games Over the Total after a loss on the road. Houston has also played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total after a loss by at least 10 points — and they have played 4 straight games Over the Total after a loss by at least 15 points. Furthermore, the Rockets have played 29 of their last 38 games Over the Total with the number set at 220 or higher — and this includes them playing thirteen of their last eighteen games on the road with the Total set at 220 or higher. Houston has also played 19 of their last 24 games Over the Total when avenging a loss where their opponent scored at least 100 points. Lastly, in their last 5 Game Fours in the playoffs, the Rockets have played 4 of these games Over the Total.
FINAL TAKE: Houston should play much better on offense in this game — especially with the Warriors’ Andre Iguodala now listed as doubtful for this game. Iguodala has been the primary defender on James Harden in this series. Golden State should continue to play well on offense at home as well which should result in the highest scoring game so far in this season. 25* NBA Western Conference Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (505) and the Golden State Warriors (506).

At 8:35 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Boston Celtics (705) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (706). THE SITUATION: Cleveland (59-37) rebounded from losing the first two games of this series in Boston (65-32) by returning home to win Game Three decisively by a 116-86 score as a 6.5-point favorite on Saturday. The Cavaliers host Game Four.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: Cleveland nailed 17 of their 34 shots from behind the arc on Saturday and the evidence is quite strong that this strong play on offense will continue tonight as demonstrated by the established personality of this team. Cleveland has played a decisive 22 of their last 25 home games Over the Total after a win by at least 20 points. The Cavaliers have also played 40 of their last 47 home games Over the Total with the number set in the 200 to 209.5 point range — including six straight Overs. Furthermore, Cleveland has played 16 of their last 20 home games Over the Total as a favorite laying no more than 6 points. This team has played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. And in their last 28 Game Fours in the playoffs, the Cavs have played 20 of these games Over the Total — including eight of their last ten Game Fours. Boston has played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and the Over is 13-2-1 in their last 16 games after a point spread loss. The Celtics have also played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a loss on the road by double-digits. Furthermore, Boston has played 13 of their last 16 games Over the Total after a loss by at least 30 points. They made only 6 of their 22 (27.3%) shots from behind the arc en route to their 39.2% field goal percentage which was the worst offensive effort in their last nine games. The Celtics have played three straight Unders — but they have then played 6 straight games Over the Total after playing at least three straight Unders. Lastly, Boston has played 23 of their last 29 games Over the Total when playing with revenge — and this including them playing eight of their last nine games Over the Total when avenging a loss on the road.
FINAL TAKE: The team trends for both these teams strongly suggest that both will have strong offensive efforts. Cleveland will be playing with desperation down 2-1 while the Celtics can still feel loose with home court still in hand even with a loss. 25* NBA Playoff A-List O/U Special with Over the Total in the game between the Boston Celtics (705) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (706).

At 8:05 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (503) and the Golden State Warriors (504). THE SITUATION: Houston (74-20) evened this series at 1-1 on Wednesday with their 127-105 victory over the Warriors. The series turns to Golden State (67-27) for Game Three.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Rockets shot 51.1% from the field on Wednesday which tied their best offensive field goal percentage over their last sixteen games. But Houston has played 10 of their last 14 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after scoring at least 125 points in their last game. The Rockets have also played 4 straight games Under the Total when playing with at least three days of rest. The first two games have seen 225 and 232 combined points — but Houston has played 9 of their last 10 road games Under the Total after seeing at least 215 points scored in each of their last two games. Now after playing their last three games on their home court, the Rockets go on the road where they have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total. Houston has also played 7 straight road games Under the Total after playing three straight games at home. Golden State has played 6 of their last 9 games Under the Total after a loss by at least 15 points — and the Under is also 5-2-1 in their last 8 games after a double-digit loss. Furthermore, the Under is 3-0-1 in the Warriors’ last 4 games after a straight-up loss — and the Under is 15-5-1 in their last 21 games after a point spread setback. This team should play better on defense after surrendering their highest opponent’s field goal percentage in their last twelve games. Additionally, the Under is 3-1-1 in Golden State’s last 5 games when playing with at least three days of rest. And in their last 16 opportunities to avenge a loss where they allowed at least 100 points, the game finished Under the Total 10 times.
CONCLUSION: Look for this game to be the lowest scoring one so far in this series. 10* NBA Sunday Night Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (503) and the Golden State Warriors (504). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:35 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Boston Celtics (703) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (704). THE SITUATION: Boston (65-31) held serve on their home court by winning Game Two of this series on Tuesday with their 107-94 victory as a 1-point favorite. Cleveland (58-37) returns home down 0-2 in this series in what appears to be a must-win situation.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Cavaliers return home where they have played 6 straight games Under the Total. Cleveland has also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a double-digit loss — and they have also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after both a straight-up loss and after a point spread defeat. For their part, Boston has played 4 straight games Under the Total after both a straight-up loss as well as after a point spread setback. Additionally, the Celtics have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after scoring at least 100 points. Now this team goes back on the road for the first time since May 7th where they lost to the 76ers by 11 points while shooting only 41.3% from the field. The Celtics have shot better than 41.4% from the field just once on the road in these playoffs. Boston has played 8 of their last 12 road games Under the Total as an underdog of 6 points or less.
CONCLUSION: The Celtics are not likely to shoot on the road while the Cavaliers typically play Unders after enduring games like they played on Tuesday. 10* NBA Saturday Night Discounted Deal with Boston Celtics (703) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (704). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:35 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (701) and the Boston Celtics (702). THE SITUATION: Boston (64-31) was dominant on Sunday as they crushed the Cavaliers in the opening game of the Eastern Conference Finals by a 108-83 score as a 1-point underdog. The Celtics host Game Two.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: The Cavaliers were dreadful on offense in this game as they made only 4 of their 26 (15.4%) of their 3-point shots while shooting just 36% from the field. That was their worst field goal percentage in their last 44 games. Cleveland has played 4 straight games Over the Total after a point spread loss — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. Additionally, the Cavs have played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. Furthermore, Cleveland has played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total when avenging a loss that was by at least 20 points. Boston (64-31) is not likely to play as well on defense in this contest when considering that the Cavs’ 36% field goal percentage was their lowest opponent’s field goal percentage in their last 43 contests. The Celtics have played 10 of their last 11 games Over the Total after a win by at least 10 points — and they have played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total after a win by at least 15 points. And in their last 12 games at home in TD Garden, Boston has played 10 of these games Over the Total.
CONCLUSION: This should be a close game which will drive the combined score over the number. 25* NBA Eastern Conference Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (701) and the Boston Celtics (702). Best of luck for us — Frank.

Houston (73-19) also closed out their five-game series with Utah on Tuesday with a 112-102 victory as a 12-point favorite. The Rockets host the first two games in this series as their reward to having the best record in the NBA.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: Houston has played 16 of their last 23 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 13 of their last 17 home games after a victory where they did not cover the point spread. The Rockets have also played 22 of their last 32 games Under the Total games after winning three of their last four games — and they have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. Furthermore, Houston has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total when playing with at least three days of rest. They have played 14 of their last 20 games Under the Total on their home court — and they have played 11 of their last 18 home games Under the Total with the number set at 220 or higher. The Rockets have also played 12 of their last 13 games Under the Total when listed in the +/- 3-point range. Golden State (66-26) has seen the Under go 4-1-1 in their last 6 games after a point spread loss — and the Under is also 21-8-1 in their last 30 games after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. And while the Warriors have launched at least 91 shots in five straight games, they have then played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after attempting at least 90 shots in two straight games. Additionally, Golden State has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total when on the road. Furthermore, in the last 6 meetings between these two teams in Houston, the game finished Under the Total 5 times.
CONCLUSION: Expect a lower-scoring game between these two teams after five days off. 10* NBA Monday Daily Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (731) and the Houston Rockets (732). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 3:35 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (733) and the Boston Celtics (734). THE SITUATION: Cleveland (58-35) takes the court again after sweeping Toronto in four-games after their 128-93 victory on Monday. Boston (63-31) dispatched of the 76ers in five games with their 114-112 win on Wednesday — they host the first two games of this series.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: Cleveland has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after scoring at least 125 points in their last game. They made 12 of their 26 shots (46.2%) from behind the arc on Monday en route to them shooting 59.5% from the field which was tied for the best offensive performance in their last twenty-two games so regression is highly likely. The Cavaliers have also played 4 straight games Under the Total after a double-digit victory — and they have played 13 of their last 18 games Under the Total after a point spread win. Furthermore, while Cleveland has won seven of their last eight games, they have then played 17 of their last 26 games Under the Total after winning six or seven of their last eight games. Boston has played a decisive 33 of their last 54 games Under the Total after a win by 6 points or less. They allowed the Sixers to make 48.8% of their shots on Wednesday which was their highest opponent field goal percentage in their last six games. Moving forward, the Celtics have played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total when playing at home when listed in the +/- 3-point range. Boston is looking to avenge a 121-99 upset loss at home to the Cavs on February 11th — and they have played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total when avenging an upset loss as a home favorite which included three straight Unders when that loss was by double-digits. Lastly, in the last 11 meetings between these two teams in Boston’s TD Garden, the game finished Under the Total 8 times.
CONCLUSION: Expect both teams to be a bit rusty shooting the basketball given the extended time off. 10* NBA Cleveland-Boston ABC-TV O/U Special with Under the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (733) and the Boston Celtics (734). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:05 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Philadelphia 76ers (711) and the Boston Celtics (712). THE SITUATION: Philadelphia (57-34) staved off elimination on Monday by defeating the Celtics by a 103-92 score to make this a 3-1 series. Boston (62-31) returns home to host Game Five at TD Garden with the opportunity to close things out.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Celtics have still won four of their last five games after their loss on Monday — and they have played 16 of their last 25 games Under the Total after winning four of their last five games. Boston has also played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after facing an Atlantic Division rival in their last game. The Celtics have been called for 5 and 6 more personal fouls in each of the last two games in this series — and they have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after being called for at least five more personal fouls in each of their last two games. Moving forward, Boston has played 4 of their last 6 playoff games Under the Total with the possibility of closing the series out. The Celtics have also played 30 of their last 48 games Under the Total when listed in the +/- 3-point range — and this includes playing seven of these last nine situations Under the Total. Philadelphia has played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total after facing an Atlantic Divisional rival in their previous two games. And while the Sixers have launched 94 and 97 shots in their last two games, they have then played 15 of their last 24 games Under the Total after taking at least 90 shots in their last two contests. Lastly, Philly has played 4 straight games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest.
CONCLUSION: The move to insert T.J. McDonnell into the starting lineup made things more difficult for the Celtics’ T.J. Rozier on offense — but it is hard to expect McDonnell to score 19 points again like he did on Monday when now playing in Boston with Brad Stevens making defensive adjustments to McDonnell playing in a smaller lineup along with Ben Simmons. 10* NBA Wednesday Daily Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Philadelphia 76ers (711) and the Boston Celtics (712).

At 8:05 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Utah Jazz (505) and the Houston Rockets (506). THE SITUATION: THE SITUATION: Houston (72-19) has now won five of their last six games after taking a commanding 3-1 lead in this series on Sunday with their 100-87 victory in Salt Lake City as a 6-point favorite. The Rockets return home looking to close out this series in five games.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: Houston has won five of their last six games — and they have then played 22 of their last 31 games Under the Total after winning at least three of their last four games. The Rockets have also played 19 of their last 28 games Under the Total after a point spread win. Now, this returns home where they have played 14 of their last 19 games — and they have also played 11 of their last 14 home games Under the Total against teams with a losing record on the road. Additionally, Houston has played 6 of their last 9 games Under the Total with the number set in the 200 to 209.5 point range. And in their last 17 opportunities to close out a playoff game, the Rockets have played 13 of these games Under the Total. Utah (53-39) has played 4 of the last 5 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. And while the Jazz have trailed by 30 and 10 points at halftime of the last two games in this series, they have then played 5 straight games Under the Total after trailing by at least 10 points in each of their last two games. Additionally, Utah has played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total after failing to score at least 90 points in their last game. Injuries have hit this team with Ricky Rubio and now Dante Exum out for them in their backcourt. Over their last two games, they are shooting just 40% from the field while making only 31% of their 3-pointers which does not bode well for their offensive chances tonight against this Rockets team that is second in these playoffs in Defensive Efficiency. The Jazz have played 5 straight games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. And in their last 22 playoff games when facing elimination, Utah has played 15 of these contests Under the Total.
CONCLUSION: Utah will need to slow the pace of this game down to stay competitive given their struggles on offense. 10* NBA Tuesday Daily Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Utah Jazz (505) and the Houston Rockets (506). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 3:35 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (705) and the New Orleans Pelicans (706). THE SITUATION: New Orleans (53-36) made this a series on Friday by crushing the Warriors by a 119-100 score as a 4.5-point underdog. They host Game Four in the Big Easy.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: Golden State (64-26) should bounce-back with a much better effort after being pretty lethargic with the comfort of their 2-0 lead in this series. The Warriors shot just 38% from the field which was the worst offensive effort in their last four games — and they made just 9 of their 31 (29.0%) of their 3-point shots. Golden State has played 18 of their last 20 games Over the Total after an upset loss. The Warriors’ 26 free throws in Game Three were 14 more opportunities at the charity stripe — and they have played 24 of their last 33 games Over the Total after attempting at least 10 more free throws than their opponent in their last game. Golden State has also played 8 of their last 11 games Over the Total when playing with revenge from a loss where they allowed at least 110 points. Moving forward, the Warriors have played 11 of their last 13 games Over the Total when not playing more than their fifth game in fourteen days. Golden State has played 27 of their last 41 games Over the Total when favored in the 3.5 to 9.5 point range — and they have also played 31 of their last 47 games Over the Total as a road favorite laying no more than 6 points. Furthermore, the Warriors have played 30 of their last 38 games Over the Total with the number at the lofty 230 or higher point range — and this includes them playing thirteen of their last eighteen games Over the Total when on the road. New Orleans (53-36) has played 4 straight home games Over the Total with the Total set at 230 or higher. They have also played 21 of their last 27 home games Over the Total after a double-digit win. And in the Pelicans’ last 13 games after a win by at least 15 points, they have played 10 of these games Over the Total.
CONCLUSION: New Orleans should continue to feed off the energy of their crowd — which is why I am passing on the side play with the Pelicans being a home dog (though I lean to the Warriors). This is an instance where just taking the Over seems prudent. 25* NBA 2nd Round ABC-TV Playoff Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors (705) and the New Orleans Pelicans (706).

REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: The Cavaliers made 11 of their 26 (42.3%) from behind the arc en route to their 59.5% shooting percentage on Thursday — and they should keep up their good offensive mojo returning home.

The Jazz now return home to Salt Lake City to host Game Three tonight.
REASONS TO TAKE THE UNDER: Utah has played 9 of their last 13 games Under the Total after pulling off an upset win on the road as a double-digit underdog. The Jazz were on-fire with their shooting on Wednesday as they made 15 of their 32 (46.9%) shots from bind the arc. Their 51.8% field goal percentage in that game was their best shooting performance in their last five games.

The Jazz have also played 6 of their last 9 home games as an underdog of 6 points or less. Utah has also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. Houston (70-19) needs to tighten things up on defense after allowing this Jazz team to make at least 50% of their shots in the first two games of this series — and that came after allowing Minnesota to shoot 50.6% from the field in their close out game with the Timberwolves in their previous playoff series. Utah has played 11 of their last 17 games Under the Total after allowing their last two opponents to shoot at least 50% of their shots — and they have played 4 straight games Under the Total after allowing their last three opponents to shoot at least 50% from the field.

REASONS TO TAKE THE OVER: Boston has played 4 straight games Over the Total after a double-digit victory. Additionally, the Celtics have played 7 straight games Over the Total after an upset win as a home underdog. Boston has also played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a win on their home court. They held the Sixers to just a 42.2% field goal percentage which was their best defensive effort in their last three games — so that is area that should see some regression.

Philadelphia (56-32) made only 5 of their last 26 (19.2%) shots from behind the arc despite averaging 11 made shots from behind the arc with a 37.4% shooting percentage from 3-point land on the road.

REASONS TO TAKE THE OVER: Cleveland (55-35) won that game despite LeBron James making only 12 of his 30 shots from the field. His teammates picked up the slack as the Cavaliers made 14 of their 35 shots (40%) from behind the arc. Cleveland also played their best defensive game in their last thirteen games by holding the Raptors to just a 42.9% field goal percentage. With the Cavs closing out the Pacers in seven games with their 105-101 win on Sunday, they have then played 9 of their last 13 games Over the Total after winning their last two games by 6 points or less.

At 8:05 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Utah Jazz (507) and the Houston Rockets (508). THE SITUATION: Houston (70-18) won the opening game of this series on Sunday by a 110-96 score as an 11.5-point favorite. The Rockets dominated that game from the jump and held a 27-point lead at one point in the first-half while cruising to an easy victory.
REASONS TO TAKE THE UNDER: Utah (52-37) needs to play much better on the defensive end of the court while making adjustments so that Rudy Gobert is roaming the middle again to protect the rim. Gobert did not block a shot on Saturday while Houston and too many easy shot attempts inside. The Jazz have played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a double-digit loss. They also have played 12 of their last 17 games Under the Total when playing with two days of rest. Utah did make 50% of their shots in Game One which was the best offensive effort in their last four games. Despite being without Ricky Rubio, the Jazz collected 20 team assists that resulted in 38 field goals in that game — and it is difficult seeing them performing much better on offense despite that only producing 96 points with Rubio out indefinitely with a hamstring injury. Utah has played 4 of their last 5 games on the road Under the Total — and they have played 4 of their last 5 road games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home. Houston nailed 17 of their 32 (53.1%) of their 3-pointers on Saturday so they are due for an appearance from the Regression Gods in that aspect of their hame. The Rockets have played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a straight up win — and they have played 18 of their last 26 games Under the Total after a point spread win. Furthermore, Houston has played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a double-digit victory. Houston has also played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total with the Total set in the 200 to 209.5 point range. The Rockets have also played 18 of their last 24 home games Under the Total including six of their last seven games against teams with a losing record on the road.
CONCLUSION: The adjustments in Game Two should favor the defensive end of the court for both teams leading to a lower scoring game. 25* NBA 2nd Round Western Conference Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Utah Jazz (507) and the Houston Rockets (508).

THE SITUATION: Golden State (63-25) easily won the opening game of this series on Saturday with their 123-101 win over the Pelicans as a 7.5-point favorite. The Warriors are likely to get Stephen Curry back for Game Two tonight.
REASONS TO TAKE THE OVER: New Orleans (52-35) should rebound with a better scoring performance after shooting just 43.8% from the field which was the worst offensive effort in their last thirteen games. The Pelicans have played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total after a double-digit loss. New Orleans has also played 17 of their last 21 games Over the Total when playing with revenge from a loss on the road. Furthermore, the Pelicans have played 21 of their last 31 games Over the Total after allowing at least 115 points in their last game. And in their last 9 games when playing no more than their fifth game in the last fourteen days, New Orleans has played 8 of these games Over the Total. Golden State should get a boost on offense with Curry back on the floor — he has averaged 28.3 PPG in his last three games in his first contest back from an extended time off due to an injury. As it is, the Warriors have played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a point spread win. Additionally, the Over is 5-1-1 in the Warriors’ last 7 games on their home court.

Toronto (63-25) hosts this game after defeating the Wizards in Washington on Friday in their 102-92 win as a 2-point favorite to close out that six-game series.
THE REASONS TO TAKE THE OVER: Toronto held the Wizards to just a 40.5% shooting percentage which was the best defensive effort in their last nine games so the Cavaliers are likely to produce a better field goal percentage tonight. The Raptors have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after a point spread victory. Toronto has also played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total when playing with at least three days of rest.

At 8:05 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Philadelphia 76ers (555) and the Boston Celtics (556). THE SITUATION: Philadelphia (56-31) gets back to the court for the first time since last Tuesday when they eliminated Miami in five games with their 104-91 victory as a 10-point favorite. Boston (59-30) has a quick turnaround after defeating Milwaukee on Saturday in Game Seven of that series by a 112-96 score as a 5-point favorite.
REASONS TO TAKE THE OVER: Philadelphia (56-31) played their best defensive game in terms of opponent field goal percentage in their last game by holding the Heat to just a 38.6% shooting percentage. That defensive effort helped that game finish below the 215.5 point Total — but the 76ers have played 28 of their last 43 road games Under the Total after playing a game that finished Under the Total. Philadelphia has also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total when playing with at least three days of rest. And in their last 22 road games as the favorite, the 76ers have played 16 of these games Over the Total. Boston (59-30) should come out smoking in regards to their shooting after making 53.6% of their shots on Saturday. The Celtics have played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest — and they have played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. Additionally, Boston has 8 of their last 9 games Over the Total after a double-digit win at home. And in their last 8 games on their home court, the Celtics have played 7 of these games Over the Total.
CONCLUSION: While the Total for this game is dropping after initially being installed at 210, that line movement is going the wrong way. The Celtics will be without Jaylen Brown who is dealing with a hamstring injury — but it is his absence which has led to the line dropping. 25* NBA Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Philadelphia 76ers (555) and the Boston Celtics (556).

At 1:05 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Indiana Pacers (705) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (706). THE SITUATION: Indiana (51-37) forced a climactic seventh game in this series on Friday when they destroyed the Cavaliers by a 121-87 score as a 1.5-point favorite. Game Seven returns to Cleveland (53-35).
REASONS TO TAKE THE UNDER: Indiana made 15 of their 30 shots from behind the arc en route to their 56.3% field goal percentage on Friday which was the best shooting performance in their last 58 games. Expect those numbers to decline significantly when playing on the road under the pressure of a Game Seven. As it is, the Pacers shoot only 46.8% with a 36.2% mark from 3-point land when on the road. The Under is 19-6-1 in Indiana’s last 26 games on the road. Indiana has also played 12 of their last 13 games Under the Total after scoring at least 120 points in their last game. Furthermore, the Pacers have played 13 of their last 16 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 16 of their last 21 games Under the Total after a point spread win. Additionally, Indiana has played 16 of their last 22 games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. Cleveland has played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. Additionally, the Cavs have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after both a straight-up loss as well as a point spread loss. Cleveland should play better on defense after enduring their highest opponent’s field goal percentage in their last 35 games. The Cavs have played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. But while Cleveland shot just 41.8% from the field on Friday, that was actually a better shooting mark than their 41.3% field goal percentage at home in Game Five. The Cavaliers have played 4 straight home games Under the Total.
CONCLUSION: The Under is 7-1-1 in the last 9 games between these two teams — including going 3-0-1 in the last 4 games played in Cleveland. Expect these team trends to continue this afternoon. 25* NBA 1st Round ABC-TV Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Indiana Pacers (705) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (706).

At 10:35 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the New Orleans Pelicans (551) and the Golden State Warriors (552). THE SITUATION: New Orleans (52-34) reached the Western Conference Semifinals by sweeping Portland in four games after their 131-123 win last Saturday. Golden State (62-25) defeated San Antonio in five games with their 99-91 win over the Spurs on Tuesday. Stephen Curry took part in practice to prepare for this game but he is officially listed as questionable.
REASONS TO TAKE THE OVER: The Pelicans were unstoppable on offense against the Trail Blazers as they made 57% of their shots in their close out game which was their third straight game where they made at least 51.2% of their shots. New Orleans has played 11 of their last 15 games Over the Total after shooting at least 50% from the field in two straight games. The Pelicans have also played 20 of their last 31 games Over the Total after allowing at least 115 points in their last game — and they have played 16 of their last 24 games Over the Total after a game where at least 235 combined points were scored. Furthermore, New Orleans has played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. The extended break should help the Pelicans offensive flow as well — they have played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total when playing with at least three days of rest. Golden State (62-25) has played 12 of their last 20 games Over the Total when playing with at least three days of rest. And while the Warriors have not covered the point spread in two straight games, they have then played 16 of their last 27 games Over the Total after failing to cover the point spread in two straight games. Additionally, the Over is 4-1-1 in Golden State’s last 6 games on their home court. And in their last 7 games in the Western Conference Semifinals, they have played 5 of these games Over the Total.
CONCLUSION: Even if Curry does not play tonight, the Warriors should be quite content to engage the Pelicans in an up-tempo game in which they feel they have the advantage over every team in the league. 25* NBA Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the New Orleans Pelicans (551) and the Golden State Warriors (552).

At 8:05 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Milwaukee Bucks (701) and the Boston Celtics (702). THE SITUATION: Milwaukee (47-41) forced a climactic seventh game in this series with their 97-86 victory over the Celtics on Thursday as a 4.5-point favorite. Game Seven returns to Boston’s TD Garden.
REASONS TO TAKE THE OVER: Milwaukee (47-41) has consistently proven they can make baskets against the Celtics as their 50.7% field goal percentage on Thursday was the fourth time in their last five games in this series where they shot at least that from the field. The Bucks have played 9 of their last 12 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after a double-digit victory. Additionally, Milwaukee has played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total on the road. The Total has dropped to the mid-190s in this game after the last two games finished Under the Total which is the lowest Total in this series.

At 8:05 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (511) and the Indiana Pacers (512). THE SITUATION: Cleveland (53-34) has the opportunity to close out this series tonight after taking a 3-2 lead on Wednesday with their 98-95 win over the Pacers as a 6.5-point favorite. Both of these teams have played six straight games Under the Total with all five of the games in this series finishing below the number.
REASONS TO TAKE THE UNDER: It can be dangerous to assume that the Under trend will continue just because the previous games in an NBA Playoff series cashed Under tickets. The oddsmakers are adjusting with Game One listed in the 212.5 point range and this game roughly 9 points lower. But a contrarian Over play can be just as simplistic a conclusion. Indiana (50-37) has played 22 of their last 33 games Under the Total after playing at least three straight Unders — and this is the type of team trend we want to look for to decipher how the specific teams will react to this unique situation. The Pacers shot 47.9% from the field on Wednesday which was their best shooting effort in their last three games. Victor Oladipo is enduring a cold streak as he is scoring only 15.7 PPG over those last three games while making just 24% of his shots. Indiana has played 19 of their last 26 games Under the Total after a loss — and they have played 16 of their last 21 games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. Additionally, the Pacers have played 10 of their last 12 games Under the Total on their home court. Indiana has also played 18 of their last 23 games Under the Total when avenging a same-season loss. Cleveland has played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. LeBron Games was super-human on Wednesday — but he is getting almost no help from his teammates at this point. His championship veterans Kevin Love and J.R. Smith combined to make only 2 of 19 shots in that game and his new trade deadline teammates have failed to step up in these playoffs. The Cavs made only 41.3% of their shots in Game Five despite James scoring 44 points. These two teams have played 5 straight Unders when playing at Indiana.
CONCLUSION: 10* play with the Under. Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:05 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Boston Celtics (501) and the Milwaukee Bucks (502). THE SITUATION: Boston (58-29) looks to close out this series tonight on the road in perhaps the last game ever to be played in the Bradley Center after taking a 3-2 lead in this series by a 92-87 score as a 4.5-point favorite. The Celtics got Marcus Smart back in that game and not only is one of the team’s best defensive players but he has been described as “kind of like the soul of our team” by fellow veteran Al Horford.” Milwaukee (46-41) returns home as the favorite looking to stave off elimination and force a decisive seventh game of this series. The Celtics and Bucks had played five straight and eight straight Overs respectively before Game Five finished below the Total that closed in the 202.5 range.
THE REASONS TO TAKE THE UNDER: Boston has played 24 of their last 35 games Under the Total after allowing 90 points or less in their last game. The Celtics have also played 15 of their last 19 Game Sixes in the NBA Playoffs Under the Total — so their history suggests a lower scoring defensive struggle. The insertion of Smart into the rotation is very significant as he can defend the Bucks’ Khris Middleton who has been one of Milwaukee’s two consistent offensive players in this series. The other reliable offensive player for the Bucks has been Giannis Antetokounmpo — but Brad Stevens made an interesting switch in Game Five by starting his rookie big man Semi Ojeleye to defend the Greek Freak. Ojeleye played 40 possessions on Antetokounmpo which accounted for half the game while holding him to a series-low 16 points. Ojeleye’s insertion into the lineup is a game-changer for the Celtics as it created smaller lineups with Greg Monroe pushed out the rotation while Stevens avoided playing Aron Bynes along with Al Horford at the same time. These moves gave the Celtics flexibility on defense for the first time in this series as all five players on the court could switch of screens without needing help. Milwaukee had shot at least 52.1% from the field in Games Two through Four in this series but those look like outlier performances to the 109 Points Per 100 Possession scoring rate that ranked 13th in the NBA during the regular season. I expect points to be hard to come by again for this team. The Bucks have played 5 of their last 8 games Under the Total after scoring no more than 90 points in their last game — and they have played 4 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a game where no more than 185 combined points were scored. Prunty does have this team playing better defense. The Celtics shot 42% from the floor in their winning effort on Tuesday which was their highest field goal percentage in their last three games.
CONCLUSION: Expect the pressure of a elimination/close out game to negatively impact the shooting of both these teams — and with the Total still in the low 200s, the line has not adjusted to what looks to be the new reality of this series. 25* NBA 1st Round Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Boston Celtics (501) and the Milwaukee Bucks (502).

Philadelphia (55-31) returns home with the opportunity to close out this series after their 106-102 win over the Heat on Saturday. The 76ers made only 42.9% of their shots in that win which was their second lowest field goal percentage in their last twenty-two games. The 76ers also only converted 7 of their 31 shots from behind the arc for a low 22.6% mark from 3-point land. Philly should shoot much better from the field tonight. As it is, the 76ers have played 16 of their last 23 games Over the Total after a win on the road. Philadelphia has also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after winning their last two games on the road.
