The set-up: When both teams play to several "overs" or "unders" in a row leading up to a game, that's when a contest comes onto my radar as one to look into further. That's the case here, as both the Spurs and Blazers enter this one having played to a few straight "unders" in a row. This is a big game for both teams though as they look to earn a victory here and now I think this number has gotten a little too low.

The pick: Both teams take care of the ball really well, and that usually translates into more shot production from the floor as well. More shots = more points. Additionally note that the Blazers have seen the total go "over" the number in seven of their last ten after playing to or more straight "unders" in a row. This number is low, the play is the over.

The is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the OVER Spurs/Blazers.
