8* UNDER OKC/Cleveland (SUPER TOTAL)

Both teams come into their second game of the season off high-scoring victories in their first one. We're expecting a competitive game here, but one that ultimately stays "under" the number once it's all said and done. Cleveland fell apart down the stretch in Brooklyn and had to come from behind for the 114-113 win. After that "scare," we can expect the Cavs to be much more attentive on the defensive end for all four quarter here at homee. OKC pulled away for the 120-104 win over the Bulls on the road, the most impressive part was the Thunders' tight defensive play in our estimation. With their first game of the year at home on Thurday vs. the defending champs, can anyone say "look ahead" spot?! The last time these teams played against each other, they combined for 212 points, and we're expecting a similar final combined score this time around as well; this number is high, the play is the "under!"
