Chris’ Pick
I’m rolling with the over here. These are two teams that like to play fast, run and gun up and down the floor and turn games into track meets and I think we’re going to get a ton of points in this game. These are also teams that are loaded with talent from top-to-bottom and I think that we end up with one of the more entertaining games of the year. Give me the over.
