Game of the Week (NBA) - Schule's INCREDIBLE 9-1 (90%) Totals Run!
(NBA) Cleveland vs. Atlanta, 03/03/2017 2:00 PM, Score: 135 - 130
Total: 214.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on CLE@ATL to go UNDER the total.

It's that time of year again... the stretch run in the NBA regular season. Teams are jockeying for playoff position, and preparing for the post-season. That means more attention to detail, and a lot more effort on the defensive side of the ball. Historically we know that playoff basketball tends to be significantly lower scoring than the regular season, but I believe that trend starts right now. The Hawks have failed to reach the total in six straight, and eight of their last 10. They host the Cavs, who have gone under in four of their last five. These two teams have trended over in recent meetings (7 of the last 10), but tonight's total is far higher than it was in an of those previous games. In fact, the listed total was under 200 in six of those games, and never higher than 208. The Hawks have more to play for, at home and sitting just 2.5 games out of first in their division. Atlanta ranks in the Top 10 in the league in points allowed, and the bottom 10 in points scored. They've gone under in four of their last five home games.

Take UNDER.
