Doesn't this make any sense to anybody? Am I missing something here. How does a defensive team like the Pacers get a total this high? Houston? They should get shut down by Indiana's D. Cant see this going over. I compare it to last nights Miami/Laker game. That total was 207. Did anybody really believe that game was going over? Any thoughts? I really want to pound the under in this one

yeah but its doesnt matter how much defense you can play if both teams going to run up and down the court, houston is run and gun and plays no defense, indiana wants to slow the game down but they wont be able to because houston pushes the temp, a team in the game had reached over 100 in the last 10 meeting i believe. just a thought but GL

Thats what scares me. It will be a public favorite bet. But so was last nights laker/heat game. I just can't see these teams scoring 97 each unless it goes to 3 overtimes lol

Houston won't push the tempo in this game especially with an Indiana team that plays great at home. Indiana does not want to get in a shootout. They don't have enough scoring to do that.

Sorry man but there is no way I am betting on the over with this Indy team. Its either under or no play for me. No going to trust a defensive slow pace to team to get me over 90 points to cover. Also ask them to give up over 90.

If you bet the over you are basically saying Houston will push the pace and actually hit their buckets something they haven't been doing then IND will have to push the pace back which I dont see them doing if they have a lead

Indiana is tired, houston is the best version of the bobcats, at times char out played indiana in the home game they didnt cover and that game went under by 2 points (i took the under in that game) so now im expecting houston to get to 100+ and indiana over 95)

New Orleans and San Antonio are the only teams to score over 100 in Indy. New Orleans was in OT. Both games were back  in November. the 21-23 to be exact. Back to back games. 92 is the highest they allowed since then. Numbers don't lie.

i have been on the Pacers under trend lately......but this game is over all the way.I dont think that you can just make a blanket statement that the Pacers play slow and that this is going to continue against Houston. i think Houston pushes the Pacers and forces them to go in to a faster pace game than are used to playing.The pacers will need to pick up the pace(no pun intended) to keep up with Houstons scoring runs.

Exactly what im trying to say, numbers never lie to you but for bookies the numbers are what they want you to believe when they actually can be fixed anyway they can by telling you 195 is a high total, in ur head u thinking that they cant score 100 but actually teams with a top 5 offense have scored over 100 in the pacers last couple games in history

I agree with your thoughts but not going to bet on them lol. I would rather not play it then bank on an over that historically this season just doesn't happen.

Top offense vs Top defense. I think the total is about right. Sure, Indiana has the homecourt advantage, but they are also fatigued. Don't challenge the books in these kind of games. You don't lose nothing by staying away.

It does make sense. Might have to stay away. That's why I started the thread lol. It's one of those lines that pops out right at you. Enticing you to BET BIG!!!!! Just going to watch this one I think.

Pacers defense is really good... But I feel the Over as well. Houston will pick up the pace and force the Pacers to move quickly. Pacers top defense against rockets top offense, Love it.

yea line it's tricky, definitelly screams for under.No way Pacers plays run and gun here, Houston already got cold in last games, Harden can be stopped and limited here.Indiana usually drags teams into an physical battle, you are forced to adapt to their slow style.It's either under bet or skip, or like you said, wait for live action.

If Pacers can hit their threes, I can see this one going over..Pacers shoot a lot of 3s.
