This is an 8* TOP TOTAL on the UNDER between the Golden State Warriors and the Atlanta Hawks.

For a number of different reasons I expect this total to fall below the posted number once the final horn sounds. This is a huge game as the top two teams from each conference face off, and with the eyes of the Basketball World in Atlanta tomorrow night, I think each comes out a bit tenative to start this one. A great situational factor that we can take advantage of. Both teams rank near the top of the league in almost every single offensive statistical category, but note that this is a spot in which each side has played to the UNDER a lot in, as Golden State has seen the total dip below the posted number in 15 of 27 this year after three or more consecutive SU wins, while Atlanta has seen it fall UNDER the number in 17 of 27 vs. poor defensive teams which allow 99 plus points per contest, and in 14 of 25 after scoring 105 points or more. After taking all of the above factors into consideration, in my opinion all signs do indeed point to the UNDER as the sharp move in this one.
