*3 Star NBA Mavericks/Rockets Total* The Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets don't care for each other very much right now. Dwight Howard picked the Rockets over the Mavericks and Mark Cuban isn't happy about it. The problem for Dallas here is they don't have any answer for Howard. Dallas' interior defense is a major weakness, and Howard should exploit that here. Houston is still running and gunning this year, and Dallas will play faster this year with Monta Ellis added to the roster. Neither of these teams is any good on the defensive end. Both teams will get up plenty of shots here. Take the over.

*3 Star NBA Lakers/Warriors Total DOMINATION* The Los Angeles Angels Lakers are going to push the pace all year long. Without Dwight Howard in the lineup, the Lakers don't have someone slowing the offense down. They also don't have a big defensive presence in the paint. Los Angeles will run and gun and have some very high totals this year. Golden State plays solid defense, but the Warriors are still going to run and put up big point totals. With Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, and now Andre Iguodala this team is stacked with scorers. The total here is set artificially low because it is early in the season. Look for these teams to clear this number easily. The over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings between these two teams. Take the over.

*3 Star NBA Opening Night Total Domination* The Orlando Magic will be one of the NBA's worst teams this year. I'm not a fan of their experiment of moving Victor Oladipo to point guard. Oladipo is ultra-talented, but I feel like the team is taking away from his talents by putting him in a spot where he isn't as comfortable. Indiana had the league's best defense last year, and they'll be top notch again this year. The Pacers are great at controlling the tempo of the game. Indiana should win this game comfortably, and they will likely take their foot off the gas before the end of the game. It usually takes the offenses a bit to get going at the beginning of the season, and this has low scoring game written all over it. Take the under in this one.

*3 Star Knicks/Pacers Total Domination* I successfully played the 'under' in Game 6 of the Spurs/Warriors series on Thursday night. History tells us that this potential close out games are generally very low scoring. Why is this? The game is played at a slow pace because of how big the game is, and the defensive intensity is ratcheted up quite a bit as well. Since the 2004 season, the under is 32-12 in a Game 6 or Game 7 of the NBA's playoffs. The under is 3-0-1 in the last 4 games between these two teams. Expect a defensive battle. Take the under.

*3 Star Spurs/Warriors Total Domination* History tells us that close out situations are a very good opportunity to bet on the under. Since 2004, potential close out games that are either Game 6 or Game 7 in the series have gone under 31 times versus just 12 overs. The pace of the game slows down and the defensive intensity picks up. The Spurs aren't pushing the tempo nearly as much in this series as they did during the regular season. Both of these teams rank in the top 8 in the NBA in field goal percentage defense. Mark Jackson is going to be preaching defense to his young team in this game. The under is 12-3-1 in the Spurs last 16 road games. Take the under.

*3 Star Clippers/Grizzlies Game 5 Total* The Grizzlies and Clippers have gone 'over' the posted total in 3 of the first 4 games in this series. The one game that stayed under saw both teams shoot just 38% from the floor. The Grizzlies have been dominating inside and getting a lot of easy buckets of late. Los Angeles has been getting a lot of open looks from deep, but they have been unable to hit those shots. Look for them to hit a few more of those open long range jumpers at home in Game 5. The Clippers will try to push the tempo to wear down the Grizzlies. The over is 7-1 in the Clippers last 8 home games. Take the over.
