Pick
I’m leaning towards the under here. Both teams can flat out score, but this has historically been a lower-scoring matchup and I just don’t think we get to a total in the 150s. I could see something in the 140s, like a 75-73 kind of game whichever way you have it going but I think too much is being put into the offensive outputs of these two. Not rushing to bet this thing, but I like the under here.
