This is an 8* TOP TOTAL on the OVER Bucks/Bulls.

So far every game in this series has fallen UNDER the posted number, but I expect that trend to end emphatically this afternoon.

Chicago will be looking to tie things up here and avoid the dreaded 1-3 hole. The Bulls are off the humbling 111-81 loss at home, which is significant in our case to note as they've seen the total go OVER in nine of their last 12 in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent in which they were held to 95 or fewer points in.

The Bucks average 115.5 points per game and without Kris Middleton in the line-up, they'll have to continue to find creative ways to put points on the board.

I expect an entirely different pace in Game 4 and I look for that to translate into some offensive production finally.

This number is now a little bit too low, the play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
