Play On: Under 211.5

Think about what the oddsmakers are saying with this extremely low total for a Golden State game. The Warriors average total this season has been 232.8 which is over 21 points more than tonight’s contest. Additionally, this is by far the lowest total in a Golden State game all season. The Warriors’ previous low was 215.5 at Minnesota on 11/14 and that game went under with a final score of 104-101. For what it’s worth, Golden State has played 17-6 (73.9%) to the under in their last 23 games.

The Knicks defense over their previous 5 games has been nothing short of spectacular while allowing 93 points or fewer on each occasion. During that stretch, they held their opponents to a combined 37.3% shooting from the field, 27.7% from 3-point territory, and limited them to a mere 18 free throw attempts per contest. New York has played 8-0 to the under this season following back-to-back games when they allowed 100 points or fewer. Those 8 contests averaged a combined 202.8 points scored per game. The Knicks haven’t exactly been tearing it up offensively by having scored 107 points or fewer in each of their last 9. That includes scoring less than 100 points during 6 of those previous 9 games.

Any NBA team like the Knicks with a total of between 210.0 to 219.5 that’s outscoring opponents by 3.0 or more points per game on the season and has allowed 95 points or fewer in each of the previous 4 games, resulted in those contests playing 23-4 (852%) to the under since the start of the 1996-1997 season. Give me this game to go under the total.
