10* over 220.5

Denver has played 6 overs in a row while Dallas has 23 overs 13 unders this year with 12 overs/7 unders at home. I hope to see 225 points tonight.

10* under 233

I think we see Golden State play better on defense after losing badly in the previous game. The Warriors have shown they can bounce back and I expect them to win and allow less points on Friday night vs. the LA Clippers.

10* under 230

Brooklyn won game one and since then has allowed plenty of points to the 76ers. They need to focus on defense and slow down the game to stay in it. Therefore, I expect a game in the 220's on Tuesday night.

10* under 237

We saw a low scoring game one win by Golden State. Then, a very high scoring over in which GS blew a 31 point lead. I expect to see a lower scoring game in the 228 to 233 range on Thursday.

10* under 213

The season is winding down and both teams have some injuries. Recent meetings have seen the under profit. I think we see 205 to 210 tonight.

Golden State at Minnesota

8pm eastern Friday

10* under 230

The under is 25-8 in the last 33 meetings.

The under is 19-7-1 in the past 27 meetings in Minnesota.

GS has 13 unders in their last 16 games.

GS has 13 unders and 6 overs in their last 19 Friday games.

GS has played 6 unders in their last 7 on the road.

Minn has 5 unders in their last 6.

10* under 240

This is the highest total on the board tonight. I think we see a game in the 230 to 237 range tonight so take the under.

10* under 226

The under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in San Antonio. Golden State has played 7 unders in a row while the Spurs have played under in 7 of their last 8. I think we see an under on Monday night as the under trends point toward.

10* under 312

Hopefully we see some defense with teammates of Lebron and the Greek Freak trying to win. There was under 300 points last year.

10* under 228.5

Sacramento has played unders in 11 of 12 while LA has played 5 unders in a row. Hopefully we see a game in the 220 to 224 range that stays under.

10* under 216.5

The trends point to an under as 7 of the last 8 at Utah have stayed under. The under is 21-6 in the last 27 meetings. Utah under trends:

under 11-2 last 13 at home.

under 4-1 on Wednesday

under is 6-2 last 8

10* under 234.5

The unders have profited in 12 of the last 13 years on Christmas Day. I expect plenty of points but only in the range of 226 to 232.

10* under 215.5

I think we see an under in Game 4 with GS up 3-0 in games. We could see a low scoring 4th quarter that leads to a game in the 208 to 211 range.

10* under 216

I like the under in the second game after a close game one that went into OT.

10* under 208

Hopefully we slow an ugly scoring game like game 7 of the Boston/Cleveland series.

10* over 198.5

I think we see Lebron score his share as well as some late points to get to 200.

10* under 214

The trends point to an under. Houston has 4 unders in their last 4 road games and 14-2 under in the last 16 vs. Pacific teams. Under is 39-18 last 57 overall while GS has 7 unders in its last 8 and under has profited in the 7 of the last 8 meetings.

10* over the total

I expect Cleveland to shoot better with Lebron James leading the way. Love, JR Smith and Korver should make some key baskets as well.

Take the over.

10* under 227.5

We have seen one team struggle to score in this series so far. Hopefully, we see NO struggle in one quarter or a slow 4th period if Golden State is ahead by 10 or more.

10* under 231.5

All it takes is one team to struggle to score or a slow quarter and we end up with a total in the 220's and an under.

10* over 206

I like the over as Harden and Chris Paul are great on offense. Houston scored well over 100% but shot close to 44%. Utah has Donovan Mitchell and does need to get used to playing without Ricky Rubio so they have had time to prepare.

10* under 227

All it takes is for some key missed shots and a slow quarter and we see a game in the 222 to 224 range. Take the under.

10* over 204.5

Golden State will jump ahead and push it since they don't want to go back to San Antonio. I like them to score close to 210. Take the over.

10* under 220

It is late in the season and we are seeing tired legs. NO has played unders in 5 of 6 while Phoenix has unders in 8 of 10. I think we see an under on Friday night.

10* under 226.5

The trends point to an under:

The under has won 4 of the last 5 in Houston and the under has profited 36-16-1 in the last 53 meetings.

Chris Paul is doubtful as well.

Take the under on Saturday.

10* under 236.5

This is a high total. The two meetings this year reached 214 and 215. It will take close to 60 points per quarter to get the over. Hopefully, one team has a slow spell and we see a game in the 230 range.

10* under 231

The game on Christmas Day had less than 200 points. All it takes is for some defense and one team to struggle to score and we see a game in the 220's. Take the under on Monday.

10* over 210.5

The 3 meetings this year have all gone over. They have made it to 218, 235 and 228. 

10* under 203.5

Detroit's trends:

10* under 203

Portland has unders in 13 of their last 17 while Miami has unders in 8 of its last 9 games. I hope to see a low score.

10* under 212.5

I like the under based on trends for the Thunder:

10* under 207

Utah under 6-0 last 6 on Tuesdays.

Under is 6-1 last 7 at Utah.

Under 18-7-1 last 26 meetings.

Take the under.

10* under 212

The trends point to an under:

10* under 234.5

Golden State is on the road and just played a high scoring game yesterday after falling behind by close to 20 points after one period. Hopefully, we see a 120-110 type of game that stays under the total.

Take the under on Sunday.

10* under 229.5

These two played earlier and the Lakers won. The Suns changed coaches after a slow start and are playing better defense. Take the under as I think we see a game with 224 to 228 points.

10* under 231

I think the total is too high. Golden State can play good defense at times.

10* under 236

Phoenix returns home after a road trip. Both teams have combined for plenty of overs so far but this is a high total. All it takes is for one slow quarter and we get a game in the 230-233 range that stays under.

10* under 213

This is the opener and the teams focused after the offseason trade. I expect some defense to be played on Tuesday and the game to end with 205 to 212 points scored.

10* Under 229

Cleveland is down 3-0 in games and may try to slow down the game with their best chance to win a game before  going back to possibly play a game 5 in California. Take the under.

10* under 226.5

Both teams have been off as Golden State swept SA while Cleveland won is 5 games. The two meetings this year stayed under this total and the opener last season ended with Cleveland scoring under 100 and staying below the total.

10* under 216

We are seeing our share of overs in the playoffs but I think we see an under tonight as Boston is down 3-1 in games and without their best player. 

10* under 210

This is Game Seven of the series and we could see a low scoring game based on that. Take the under.

Washington vs. Boston 

8pm

10* over 216

Boston is off two road losses at Washington and returns home. They won the first two games and both games were high scoring. Game Two went to OT but still went over before extra time. I think Isiah Thomas leads the way for the Celtics and the Wizards have solid guard play with Bradley Beal and John Wall. Take the over on Wednesday.

10* under 209

Washington needs a home win and must play solid defense to do so. They are off a high scoring OT game. Take the under.

10* under 198.5

Utah needs to play their slower pace at home to have a better chance of winning. LA's Blake Griffin is out with an injury and he had 50 combined in the first two games. Take the under on Sunday night.

Washington at Golden State

8pm Sunday

10* under 224.5

Golden State has played 48 unders and 28 overs while Washington has 48 overs and 28 unders. Washington is off a low scoring loss at Utah. Golden State has played 10 unders in their last 11 at home, 40 unders in their last 55 overall games and under 71-34-1 in their last 106 Sunday games. 

Washington beat Golden State 112-108 (under 231.5) earlier. I would expect the Warriors to play solid defense and like the under, which opened at 224.5.

Houston at Golden State

10:30pm Friday

10* under 230.5

Houston lost last night to Portland and is playing their 3rd game in 4 nights. These two met earlier in the week and scored 219 points. The under has won in 5 of the last 6 meetings. Take the under on Friday.

Golden State at San Antonio
Wednesday
under 209

Golden State has played 11 unders in a row.

Under is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in San Antonio.
Under is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings.

Playing the under streak until it ends.

Golden State vs. Houston

Tuesday

10* under 237

Golden State has played 27 overs and 46 unders this year. They have 10 unders in a row and 15 of 16 games have stayed under. 4 of the past 5 meetings in Houston have stayed under. The Rockets are off a high scoring game (262 points) with Oklahoma City. The two meetings this year (with Durant playing) reached 233 and 226 (regulation). Play the under on Tuesday.

Golden State at Oklahoma City

8pm

10* under 222.5

Kevin Durant is out for Golden State. GS has played 27 overs and 42 unders this year and stayed under 6-22 on the road since November. The Warriors have played unders in 9 of their last 10 games and 4 of the past 5 meetings have stayed under. Oklahoma City has 1 over, 10 unders and 1 push on Mondays. Hopefully, we see a low scoring game tonight.

10* under 211.5

Charlotte has played 7 unders in a row and NY has 7 in their last 10 games. NYK looking to possibly trade Carmelo Anthony. Their last meeting ended with 209 points. Hopefully we see an under on Friday night.

Golden State at Houston

#863/864

8pm Friday

10* under 237

Golden State lost in OT in their earlier meeting. It went over due to overtime. Golden State has played unders in 11 of its last 12 on the road. This is one of the highest totals of the season. 12 of the last 17 meetings in Houston have gone under. Ryan Anderson is questionable on Friday. 

I think the Warriors play well and put out some solid defense on Harden and we see an under.

10* under 224.5

Cleveland plays at Golden State as they meet since playing a one point game on Christmas. The total is set higher than any of the playoff games they played last year and the under is 5-2-1 in the last 8 meetings. Golden State is home and lost the opener at Cleveland so I expect them to win and see a game with 220 points or less.

10* under 223

This game starts at 2:30pm eastern which is 11:30am west coast time for the Golden State Warriors so it may take awhile for points to roll in. Cleveland has some injuries. I expect a good game. This total is 10 points higher than any of the playoff games last spring.

Houston vs. Cleveland 

6pm

10* under 217

These two start early due to the World Series and may get off to a slow start with the early time. They have combined for 1 over and 5 unders this year and their two meetings reached 206 and 168 points last year. Harden rolled an ankle but is probable tonight.

10* over 211

I think we see a fast paced game with the Warriors led by Curry, Durant and Thompson for the home team.

10* under 207

I like the under as we have seen the last four Game 7's (since 1994) stay under the total as we tend to see better defense and slower tactics. 

10* under 210.5

The meeting between these two at Golden State stayed under by plenty as it was 89-83 (172). Lebron will handle the ball a lot and Cleveland will try to prevent 3's from Curry and Thompson. Golden State may have tired legs from a 7 game series while Cleveland has fresh legs from being off for awhile. The Cavs will welcome a slower pace.

10* under 218

The pressure of Game 7 as well as better defense by OKC on the 3's by Golden State should keep the scoring down.

10* under 221

This is game 5 and Golden St will need to play defense to win this game and slow down Westbrook and Durant.

10* under 222.5

I think Golden State plays better defense after allowing so many points and getting blown out in Game 3. Curry and Thompson are good defensive players and will slow down Westbrook and Durant. I like the under set at 222.5.
