Stephen Nover's NBA Thursday Totals Crusher - 21-12 (64%)
(NBA) Indiana vs. Washington,
Total: 236.50 | -109.00 Over
Result: Win
Teams usually step up defensively during the postseason. But I don't see the Pacers and Wizards being capable of that. These two teams live and die by offense. 

Indiana finished sixth in the NBA in scoring. The Pacers are averaging 129.3 points in their last four games. The Wizards rank last in the NBA defensively. The Over has cashed in 10 of the Pacers' last 13 games. 

Washington was the No. 3 scoring team in the league. The Wizards have averaged 124.6 points during their last 14 games, discounting their play-in game loss to the Celtics. The Pacers rank 25th defensively. 

The teams met 17 days ago and there were a whopping 295 points scored! 

Russell Westbrook averaged 27.3 points and 20 assists per game against the Pacers during the regular season. Bradley Beal isn't 100 percent, but he's back in Washington's lineup. 

Star guard Malcolm Brogdon is back in Indiana's lineup, which offsets the loss of Caris LeVert.
