NBA Total Blowout
(NBA) Phoenix vs. Milwaukee, 07/11/2021 8:00 PM, Score: 100 - 120
Total: 222.00 | -109.00 Under
Result: Win
ASA top play on 10* UNDER 222 Phoenix Suns @ Milwaukee Bucks, Game 3 Sunday - The first two games crept Over the number but we expect a lower scoring game here. In fact, we lost our play on the Under in Game 2 but we had a great opportunity to win as a few meaningless fouls late pushed it Over the number. Both teams have shot relatively well in both games and the Suns were ridiculously hot in Game 2 from beyond the arc making 20 3-pointers. We do expect the Bucks to shoot better at home but not well enough to push this game Over the number. Giannis shredded the Suns on the interior last game with 42-points but that number isn’t sustainable either. These two teams have the best defensive efficiency numbers in the Playoffs allowing just 1.073PPP (Bucks) and 1.081PPP (Suns). Those numbers are dramatically lower than the season averages both allowed during the regular season. Milwaukee is playing significantly slower in the post-season than they did in the regular season with 5-less possessions per game in the Playoffs. The Suns were the 5th slowest paced team in the NBA during the regular season and are averaging that same pace in the Playoffs. Phoenix played a couple deliberate or slower paced games on the road against the Clippers which resulted with 164 and 198 total points. With both of the games thus far going Over the number it’s strange the oddsmakers didn’t set this number higher than this which means they want us to bet Over. We won’t bite and like UNDER.
