I'm playing on OKC and Dallas to finish OVER the total. Both games at OKC were low-scoring. That didn't really surprise me though. Here's an excerpt from my Game 1 "Blue Chip" selection on the "under" .... "Its playoff time and that means its time for the Thunder to elevate their defensive intensity; I expect the Mavs to have some trouble scoring tonight. While this series has been high-scoring when the games are at Dallas, five of the last seven meetings here at OKC have stayed below the total ... " That game stayed well below the total and Game 2 was even lower-scoring. Those results have worked in our favor this evening though as we're getting a much lower O/U line to work with than we were for the games at OKC. Yet, if you refer to my Game 1 excerpt, you'll notice that I mention "... this series has been high-scoring when the games are at Dallas ... " In fact, the OVER is 5-0 the last five series meetings here and 7-0-1 the last eight, all of those eight games producing 200 or more. The last seven meetings here had scores of 219, 225, 234, 219, 247, 208 and 231. The Thunder can (will) score anywhere while the Mavs score a lot more at home. Look for a faster tempo to lead to a higher-scoring contest than we saw at OKC. 10* Burns
