Game: New Jersey at Cleveland (8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 2 units on Game Total OVER 182.5 -110

Cleveland has averaged 97-points per game (PPG) in their home playoff games and if you go back to the last three regular season games, they have averaged over 100 points in the past seven. That is almost 10 points higher than what they have done on the road. The big three for NJ (Carter, Jefferson and Kidd) shot just 11-48 in their last game under 25%, and still managed 85 points. We would expect that we won't see that from all three again with the series on the line this evening. The Nets have been a good OVER team off of a straight-up loss as they have gone 18-8 to the OVER. Cleveland simply scores a great deal more when they are home and that has contributed to 7 of the last 10 times these teams have met the total has gone OVER. We look for this one to get well into the 90s, so OVER is the call.
