NBA Finals Total of the Year
(NBA) Dallas vs. Boston,
Total: 214.50 | -108.00 Over
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Mavericks/Celtics OVER

1) In Game One the Mavericks struggled offensively but they have been so good off a loss in this post-season and I'm expecting some offensive fireworks to say the least.

2) Boston of course rolls in with a ton of confidence here after dispatching the Pacers in four straight and then ripping apart Dallas in Game One.

3) The Celtics were on pace to score 126 based on the half-time score but they then were able to coast the rest of the way and they combined with the Mavs to score only 91 points over the final two quarters.

4) With a much closer game expected in Game Two and Dallas sure to shoot better, look for this faster-paced affair to fly well over. The Mavs have averaged 117.5 points the last 4 times off a loss.

T.M. Prediction: 116-109 Boston.
