I'm an Act. Sci major looking to post my running picks for NBA totals here. I just use an algorithm that gives me a suggested projected outcome based on OFFeff, DEFeff, Pace and a couple of other factors. It weighs longer term play and short term play by the given team by giving weight to the 7-game and 20-game averages for these numbers.
Hopefully they turn out well. I'll be posting exactly what I figure the total to land at too, so that will express how confident I am in each pick. Use them at your own discretion.
