NBA Total of the Year
(NBA) Milwaukee vs. Phoenix,
Total: 220.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
ASA top play on 10* UNDER 220.5 Milwaukee Bucks vs Phoenix Suns, Game 2 Thursday 9 PM ET - We got a win with the Over in Game 1 of this series but now we feel these two teams stay Under with a much lower scoring game. These two combined for 223 Total points in Game 1 but it took 45% shooting by the Bucks and 16 of 36 3-point shooting or 44%. The Bucks 3-point shooting was well above their season average of 38.9%. Phoenix also had a hot shooting night by hitting 47% overall from the field and 32% from beyond the Arc. The Suns were also near perfect from the free throw line at 25 of 26. In Game 2 we expect a return to norm for both teams with each team's defenses stepping up. These two teams combined for just 176 field goal attempts in the opener which is around league average but again they had better than normal shooting nights. These two teams are ranked first and second in defensive efficiency in the Playoffs allowing less than 1.080-points per possesion. The betting indicators clearly support the Under here too as more money has flowed in on the Over, yet the line has dipped from 221.5 to 219.5 which tells us volumes. We expect a slightly slower pace, not as good of a shooting night and both defenses to improve from Game 1. The bet here is UNDER!
