Since it is a first game of the playoff series and we yet to know how long the League wants the series to run - I will begin the Totals which are better set for me at this stage:
KingMidasTouch 0-0 $0
Over 211.5 LA Clippers - GS Warriors
Over 194 TOR Raptors - BKN Nets
Under 192 OKC Thunder - MEM Grizzlies

As much as everyone is looking forward to a rematch of last years Eastern Conference Finals I think that it is very tough to beat a team under the same circumstances on back to back seasons- this was the same matchup as last year and while the Pacers won the series some of the games were very weird like Hawks keeping pacers at 69pts in game 3. It is hard to get a flow for any of these games until we see one or two in each series, that will tell a lot about vegas and the NBA wishes.
OKC Thunder - MEM Grizzlies
I like the under here because both teams will have a presence down low with Ibaka Gasol Zebo. This will lead to OKC taking a lot of jump shots, it will be a question of how many they can hit, that being said with a slow pace expected in early games of playoffs as teams gather their bearings and start to feel each other out there could be a lot of dead space in the lapse of time. I think that whoever has the lead will look to protect it rather than increase it. These two teams met last year, OKC did not have Westbrook and still managed to have close games, while many think that Westbrook will increase the offense of the Thunder with his fast breaks, he can also hurt them if he tries too many threes and has an off night, his biggest contribution will probably be in playing tight defense. 2-6-6-6-4 were the spreads last year and only one game went over 100 and that was with OT- one came close in reg with 99. I think both these teams stay in the 80s to low 90s.
BKN Nets
I am taking the Nets here because they are favorite to win the series and I believe the Raptors are being favored in game one because of the home field. Makes very little sense that the Nets are favs for the series and will lose or not have a close game one. Winner of game one in NBA series best of seven as a home team wins the series at an 84% clip- so either game one is wrong or the series odds are a trap. A combo play here of spread Nets Series nets could yield good potential gain.
