(NBA) Denver vs. Utah,
Total: 195.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
Prior to their last game Denver was 8-0-2 O/U. During that stretch the first 6 games were all at home where a team can get into a scoring groove and of all 10 opponents they faced only one was in the group of 6 which allowed 99.0 points or less per game. That lone foe was Miami and while the game went OVER the teams totaled 193 point (O/U line 189). What happened in Denver last game? They returned home and played another of the Group of 6 and while just barely, it did go UNDER. Now, Denver is out of sync again traveling to Utah (#4 ppg allowed) and again were contrarian as Utah is 6-2-1 O/U their last nine game. By looking at the Jazz at home they are 3-5-1 O/U but of those games they would have been 2-7 O/U with tonight's line. Helping this play if that the last 3 in this series have gone UNDER as have 5 of the last 6 and I'm comfortable as the average line the last 5 between these teams was 192.5. Finally, Utah has not been a sizable favorite often and in fact this is their 7th time as a favorite of 6 or more going 2-4 O/U with a line of 195 with the overs coming versus Portland (92-108) in the 4th game of the season and versus the Lakers (109-82) on 1/17. TAKE THE UNDER!
