Schule's 10* NBA Total Recall TERMINATOR - *EARLY START*
(NBA) Memphis vs. Indiana, 10/31/2014 3:00 PM, Score: 97 - 89
Total: 185.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on MEM@IND to go UNDER the total.

The Grizzlies will be in Indiana to take on the Pacers tonight, in a matchup between two very defensively solid teams. Last season saw the Pacers finish 2nd in the league with an opponent scoring average of 92.3 points per game. The Grizz weren't far behind, ranking 3rd allowing 94.6 points per game.

These teams have seen the total go under in five straight meetings, and the total in tonight's contest is higher than it was in any of those games. Going back further, they have seen the total go under in eight of the last 10, and five of six in Indiana.

The loss of Paul George is certainly not going to help the Pacers offense, and while they scored over 100 points in their opener, you have to keep in mind they were playing a Sixers team that finished with a 19-63 record a year ago.


The Grizzlies will come in with a mindset of improving their defense after allowing over 100 points in their opener. Tony Allen expressed his concerns in a post-game interview:
"We have a lot of improving to do -- obviously executing on the defensive end," Allen said. "I felt there were a lot of times we could have closed them out and increased the lead. I thought we let our guard down."First game is out of the way, now we can look at film and see ways we can improve."

Take UNDER.
