Bucks are the worst team on the road by 2H margin, by a lot. GS without Dray struggling to defend Giannis. Expect the scoring to continue although I can?t play the 2H total as it sits. I like GS +5 or better for the game.

Sorry, I should rephrase that. They are the worst team in the 2nd half on th road when comparing home/road margin splits. They are the 5th worst team in the 2nd half on the road, yes small sample size, but consistent, suggesting they are having trouble closing out games away. No doubt Warriors recognize a formidable opponent here and won?t be sleeping on them in the 2nd half. GS avg 2H margin +6.8 at home, +4.8 overall.
Should have focused on the live total in last nights bucks-warriors matchup, rather than predicting a GS comeback.
Right now, I'm focused on the televised BOS-UTA matchup. In this new age of high-scoring NBA games, when a total opens at 210 and gets bet down to 204, that will always get my attention. I do think the Celtics cohesiveness on defense is better without Kyrie, who is out tonight. I also don't think Stevens wants his guys playing in a fast-paced game playing on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back in the altitude of SLC, especially after a long drawn-out game in PHX which required a huge effort to come back from a large DD deficit late in an OT victory. Right now, these teams are on pace to go over the closing number, so I'm targeting a live total of 212 or better to go under.
