This is a 10* TOP TOTAL on the UNDER Wolves/Grizzlies.

Is scoring UP in the NBA over the last month? It certainly feels like it. This is one of the higher totals that we've seen in a while and in my opinion, it is indeed just a little TOO high.

Minnesota has seen the total go OVER in three straight and that's significant to note as the Wolves have seen the total go UNDER in eight of their last 11 after playing to three or more straight OVERs in a row. Most recently it was a 128-125 road setback at New Orleans on Tuesday.

The Grizzlies have won nine of their last ten, most recently a 116-108 victory over Golden State. They've also seen the total go OVER in three straight.

And when these teams met in late November, the total also went OVER the number in the Wolves 138-95 blowout victory.

Each side has been playing to some super high-scoring games of late, and that fact has driven today's total much higher than it normally would be.

I say each offense comes back down to Earth tonight. This number is high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
