Have to go with Lakers Over here. The T-Wolves are dying to even things up and can't do it with D. With the total around 200 or so, I see this as a must win for Minnesota. This tells me what I've suspected after the last game ended, a lotta points....

I also see the Lakers winning this matchup by about 7 to 10 pts...
But the play I'm going with tonight is

Over 200.5


Home teams are 6-0 Over with a posted total over 190 L6

Gl2U!!!!!

Thats a very good point. I think I will take the OVR as well. I just want to check a few things out though. GL

I'm taking the Bucks because of two stats I saw at another site:

Milwaukee is 6-1 ATS when trailing in a playoff series since 1996.

NJ is 1-5 ATS after a game outrebounding opponent by 20 or more over the last 3 seasons.

i'm throwing all past milwaukee playoff record out the door. Milwaukee has transit into a totally different three compare to the past playoffs where they have their BIG 3.

Also, Payton Cassell and another player on milwaukee had to go to toronto yesterday to report for some law issues. Don't know how they'll preform on the game tonight.

Personally, i would have also backed milwaukee if i had to choose a side. But i'm going to lay off this game.

Go Milwaukee Bucks!!! 6 and a sugarcbue!!!

Cassell also said that he was glad that they lost the other night. I interpret that as him saying that it's time for his team to focus on basketball when they're on the court, and not get distracted by the off-court issues. I think they'll be a more focused team tonight.
