Los Angeles/Milwaukee Total

Under 194.5

- all my stats based on opening lines & regulation scores, unless otherwise noted.



Los Angeles

- is U/O 8-3 at an average of 188.1 points when winning SU, as opposed to U/O 3-3 (5 pts off 1-5) at an average of 192.6 points when losing SU, @home vs non-divisional opponents this season.

- is U/O 6-2 at an average of 187.6 points in ATS home wins as the Fav, as opposed to U/O 3-4 at an average of 192.8 points in ATS losses as the Fav, @home vs non-divisional opponents this season. Since losing Redd, Milwaukee has had 5 of 6 losses by 9+ point margins - this spread opened at 9.5.

- is U/O 4-0 at an average of 179.2 points when winning a 3rd consecutive game this season. LA has 2 straight wins headed into this game.

- is U/O 3-0 at an average of 184.3 points when winning SU, as opposed to U/O 1-5 at an average of 197.1 points when losing SU, off 2+ days rest this season.

- is U/O 2-1 (2 pts off 3-0) at an average of 186.3 points coming off consecutive games that totaled 200+ points in reg., this season. Their last 2 games have totaled 224 & 205 points.

- has had 3 straight games total 200+ points in regulation, for the first time this season. For all of last season, they only managed this feat twice - in both instances, their next 3 games all went Under.


Milwaukee

- is U/O 5-1 at an average of 187.0 points in ATS losses, as opposed to U/O 1-1 at an average of 192.0 points in ATS wins, in games Williams and/or Redd have missed this season. Since losing Redd, has had 5 of 6 losses by 9+ point margins - this spread opened at 9.5.


- is U/O 3-0 at an average of 182.0 points coming off a game that totaled 190+ points, since losing Redd. Naturally offensive consistency has been an issue ever since Redd joined Williams on the injured list. Their last game totaled 194 points.

- has held 4 straight opponents under 100 points, where prior to Redd being injured hadnt gone more than 2 straight games managing that feat. Dare one suggest MIL is playing a little more defense in light of their losses in order to remain competitive (if only for however long)?



This season I'm 4-1 in Clipper totals, my only loss a winner in regulation that was subjected to a visit from the overtime Moose. Only one of those bets was an Over bet, since I usually look for Unders when considering this team. And when they're playing at home with the likely prospect of posting up a W, thats when I really start to look hard. Here they're in such a spot, also matched by recent heavy overall scoring in their games - another fact that would key my paying special attention to a potential Under for them. The fact they're facing a team missing 2 key components that had them create the heaviest Over biased record in the NBA and that that record has since taken a severe dip because of those losses, means I cant ignore playing Under here.


The line has risen since I posted this thread, so I have to wonder about Mo Williams availability. Rototimes says late January, which is exactly where we're at. I can't see any other basis for this line to rise, unless people are over reading the Clippers recent totals. If I thought for sure this game was a potential 170s contest I'd place a normal sized bet, but LA will get their points in such a big game (GDS & MIN lost yesterday, and 8th spot in the West is down to between these 3 teams) so I'm projecting LA puts up 100 and MIL gets 85-90. Under 194.5 for a small bet.

I like this play. With the Bucks missing Redd and Williams, that's alot of fire-power missing. I also like the fact that the Clips don't shoot that many 3's. Good luck.
 
Thnx guys. The majority of my plays come against line moves, so I dont take the overnight move as a bad sign. MIL's only Overs without Redd or Williams have come against teams going nowhere playoff wise, while the 4 playoff bound teams they've met have all been Under results - LA is right in the thick of battling for the 8th playoff spot in the West.
 
Tex - thats the first time I've misread a Clippers bet this season. I expected more from their defense - to concede 30+ points in a period to these Bucks is pathetic.

Killa - if you're alluding to the Washington-Phoenix game, I saw arguments for and against that total. If you mean the fact I play more Unders than Overs, thats partly because I like to back against line moves and more often than not those moves are towards the Over. But if I think a line is in favour of Over, I wont hesitate to play it - theres no "fear" involved.
 
Something to remember from this game. That was a very ugly unpleasant 4th quarter. For some reason these teams really are on bad terms which should be remembered for the future.

I didn't mean that one in particular. I just mean in general, it seems like you don't play alot of 215+ overs with the Denvers, Seattles, Phoenixs, Memphis', Golden States, and that crowd. Was just curious, that's all.
 
Killa, thats a fair observation. In turn, I also rarely play Unders that are lower than the mid-180s. I generally look for Overs between 180-low 200s, and Unders between mid-180s-210. Theres always exceptions, but thats pretty much my compass.

- My problem with high Over numbers is 1 bad (30 odd pts-40) period, or a blowout result (MEM @CHC as an example for such a number), will fuck you. If PHX had played like they ususally do with such a lead, and quit the 4th (meaning they lose that period instead of winning it by 3), that game wouldve gone under tonight. But it seems they decided to rub Wash's noses in the dirt, likely because they lost at home to them not long ago.

- My problem with low Under numbers is 1 decent period will fuck you (56+ pts), so even if you get a 30 odd period elsewhere, its still not enough to compensate (such a combination produces around 100 points, and its a rare game that doesnt total 80 in a half - I'd rarely expect 2 teams to put up less, exception being when it came to playoff games between DET & IND a few years back - then I didnt hesitate playing Under 154.5s, lol. Those were the good ole days).
