This is a 10* TOP TUESDAY TOTAL on the OVER Bucks/Nets.

I got down early and have a poor number here, but regardless of that, we expect Game 5 to finally go OVER the number.

All four previous games went well UNDER the number. The fact that James Harden and Kyrie Irving aren't playing doesn't matter at all, as Irving played in all four previous games, and all four stayed well UNDER the number.

Neither team was very good at all on the defensive end during the regular season. In fact, the Nets were one of the worst.

Brooklyn will finally have to rely on its bench and role players to produce here. Clearly, Kevin Durant is going to be leaned upon heavily as well.

The Bucks were the highest-scoring team in the regular season, and note that they've seen the total go OVER in eight of their last 11 after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row.

This is the lowest total (by far), so far in this series, but that's mainly because of the public perception that Irving in the Nets' line-up will help in driving the points total up. But as we've already seen, that's absolutely not been the case whatsoever over the first four games.

This is a great situational call on the OVER in Game 5.

Good luck, NP
