AAA's 10* TOTAL "ART OF WAR!" (+$32,290 w/ ALL 10* NBA s/ 2013!)
(NBA) Boston vs. New Orleans,
Total: 199.00 | -107.00 Under
Result: Win
This is a 10* TOTAL ART OF WAR on the OVER between the Boston Celtics and the New Orleans Pelicans.

Neither team has been playing to many high-scoring affairs of late, but for a number of different reasons I feel that the conditions are finally right for a higher-scoring shootout and expect this total to eclipse the posted number as the game comes down the stretch. The Pelicans are rolling towards a playoff spot and are gunning for their seventh win in their last eight games. New Orleans is most recently coming off an 88-85 victory over Detroit on Wednesday, Anthony Davis returned from injury to pour in 39 points, grab 13 boards and also post eight blocks. The C's have been out of the playoff picture for a while, but will be hungry here nonetheless, the team is averaging just 88.3 points on 36.5 percent shooting over its last three, obviously a stark contrast compared to the monster offensive numbers the team was posting at the start of the year (note that this is a revenge game for the home side after Boston won 108-100 at home back on January 12th). The visitors though come in with a bit of momentum after beating the Jazz 85-84 on Wednesday. And from an O/U trend based stand point, this play is about as strong as you could possibly ask for as note that Boston has seen the total go OVER the number in all three games that it's played this year after playing to three or more consecutive UNDERS, in all three games it's played this year after allowing 85 points or less and in eight of its last ten vs. poor defensive teams that allow 99 plus points per contest. And note that New Orleans has seen the total sail above the posted number in 20 of 31 in front of the home town crowd thus far, in four of five this year after playing to three or more consecutive UNDERS and in 16 of 27 vs. teams with losing records. In my opinion, the situation, the numbers and the trends do all indeed point to the OVER as the savvy move in this contest.
