My 8* EASTERN-CONFERENCE TOTAL OF THE WEEK is the over between Brooklyn and Indianapolis at 5:00 EST. Brooklyn enters off back-to-back losses, including a 105-99 OT loss here just two nights ago. The Nets have failed to reach the 100-point plateau in back-to-back games, but I'm finally expecting a much faster-paced wide-open affair this time around. The Pacers are playing well after three straight victories. Indianapolis scored 119, 132 and 135 points respectively in three games previous to its most recent low-scoring OT win and I'm expecting the Pacers' offense to "return to form" here in this favorable matchup. There are only three weeks left in the regular season, and the Pacers can't afford to look past any opportunity. Ultimately, I believe a faster-paced affair will lead to more points. The play is the over.
