10* TOTAL COACHES CORNER: 11-5 NBA START!
(NBA) Washington vs. Miami,
Total: 209.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Loss
Washington/Miami

It's almost impossible to find a game with a total in the 230's anymore. That's a stark contrast from last season's scoring pace.

Note that the Opening Night Nets game had a posted total of 244.5!

Two of the best in the East collide in Miami tonight and I'm expecting some offensive fireworks finally.

Washington has so far allowed just 103.5 PPG, but I expect this up-tempo Heat offense to push the pace from the opening tip.

The Wizards average 108.4 PPG, which ranks 12th, while the Hea average 110.1, which ranks sixth.

Miami has also been good defensively, allowing 103 PPG this season.

But I think this total is now a little too low. The books have overadjusted, as note that the Heat have seen the total fly "over" in ten of their last 14 as a home favorite in the -5.5 to -7.5 points range.

Everything points to a high-scoring shootout.
