If Lowry decides to finally show up and score more than 0 points, they might have a chance to cover the spread. It's just that Orlando is a really good/tough team many people tend to underestimate. They have size, can shoot the 3 and currently have the best win/loss record since Mar 15th - 12-2. Don't forget that in game 1 their best player/scorer Vucevic went 3/14 and their best bench player T.Ross only shot 2/11.
Am I crazy or the O/U 223.5 is way too high OKC vs. POR? Do odd makers really expect another high-scoring game? OKC can't shoot the 3 and both teams play decent on defense. 203 in game 1 vs 223.5
Dont bet on points over and under because during the postseason they are very unpredictable.
The chances the Okc and portland game can go into overtime are quite good so the odds makers raise their points lines. Also they do buck with the trend with those high scoring games last night with golden state and phila.
If you feel they are making them too high then bet on the under if you feel they are riding the wave too high with those two played last night. But if tey do get the first OT game of the playoffs your prediction will certainly be a loss.
