The Pistons are coming off a big game against Cleveland, and the Knicks may not get their defensive attention. These teams have scored 200+ in their last four meetings and always seem to play offensive ball when playing each other. It goes back quite a long time, as they have played 16 of the last 21 game to the OVER. The Knicks are also 20-8 to the OVER, when playing a team with a .600+ road winning percentage.

San Antonio has hit an offensive peak, as they are producing points at a rate higher than they have all season. They have averaged 107-points per game (PPG) over their last eight. They have also played 14-6 to the OVER, after winning at least 15 of their last 20 games, and are 4-0 OVER against the NBA Northwest. Portland has been 12-5 to the OVER, in their last 17 as a road dog.

The Lakers have managed 108-ppg in their last 12, and are 22-9 to the OVER when revenging a loss to an opponent. Denver has been high scoring as a 5-10.5-point favorite having gone OVER in 39 of 56. They are also 14-3 to the OVER after a road win, while the Lakers have been 24-10 to the OVER when playing as a dog.

The NBA has a long season and there are offensive peaks as well as defensive peaks. Houston just gave up over 105 points and when they do they have been 13-3 to the OVER, in their next game. Seattle has been 12-3 to the OVER after allowing a team to shoot 55%+, and 22-10 to the OVER after a road loss of 10 points or more. Houston has shown in games where the total is posted in the 190s, they play more up-tempo, as they are 18-7 to the OVER in the last 25 games in this range.

Golden State sits just one game behind the Clippers for the last playoff spot in the West. They have also been 27-11 at home, and have beaten most of the very good teams that have come in here, and have played their best basketball of the season down the stretch. Utah is just 5-9 in their last 14 games, and has not played well at all, especially on the road where they have won just once in their last nine games. Playing a hungry Golden St. team that is very tough at home, is not the place for the Jazz to get winning again.
