10* NON-CONF TOTAL OF THE YEAR (+$12.5K HOOP YTD!)
(NBA) Portland vs. Miami,
Total: 217.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
This is a 10* NON-CONFERENCE TOTAL OF THE YEAR on the OVER Blazers/Heat.

Both teams are in need of a victory. I find that non-conference games are often played with much less intensity on the defensive end, and all signs point to that being the case here.

Portland has split its last eight games. The Blazers are averaging 114.4 PPG, while allowing 115.3. Clearly that's not a longterm recipie for success.

The Heat are even more desperate though as they look to end a four-game slide. Miami averages 106.2 PPG, while allowing 107.6.

The OVER has hit in five of these teams last six on this floor. Despite any trades that my occur today, we're expecting a wide open affair between two clubs that could really use a victory on Thursday night.

This total is low, the play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
