This is a match-up featuring the current fifth and sixth-place teams in the league, as both are close to clinching a playoff spot. The total opened at 161.5, and I get why this has been bet down so drastically. Both teams rank in the top half of the league defensively, and both are jockeying for postseason positioning, so the pace of play isn’t expected to be wide open. That being said, this number has come down too far, and it’s time to zag when everyone is zigging. All 3 of their previous match-ups cleared this total so far, and I don’t expect their final match-up of the season to be any different. 

The Pick: Over 154.5 -110 (DraftKings)
