10* OVER Pelicans/Thunder (ASSASSIN)

For the most part we're primarily a "situational" cappers and we think that handicapping style is a great one to use during the playoffs. To be successful in the playoffs, both for these teams and also for us handicappers, it's important to make adjustments from game-to-game. You can have a good idea about how a game or series is going to go, but then after the first game or the second game if they don't go as you originally thought, it's important to make adjustments on your direction and learn from those initial mistakes. Either way, this is another great "situational" play overall and it's not really about who is or who isn't on the court. We're going to steer clear of a side on this one and instead focus on the total and we just think Game 2 will be much more wide open than what we saw in Game 1. Including their two Play In games, the Pelicans have now seen the total to "under" in all three of their playoff games so far this year, but that's significant to note because New Orleans has in fact seen the totla go "over" the number in seven of its last ten after playing to three or more straight "unders" in a row. Oklahoma City earned the 94-92 win, but it was anything but impressive. The Thunder looked great in the regular season to earn the No. 1 seed but now that the Playoffs are here this high-octane offense looked pretty medicore. That said, overall we think there's been a bit of an overreaction with this Over/Under line here in Game 2. We've seen a lot of really low-scoring games in both the NBA and NHL Playoffs so far this year, but everything finally points to a shootout here in our opinion in this Game 2; the play is indeed on the "over!"
