This is a 10* on UNDER

The pace was furious, but slowed down in the fourth quarter and the end result was that the Bucks and Nets went Under in Game 1. After 62, 62 and 58 combined points were scored in the first three quarters, there were only 40 in the fourth. While none of the quarters in tonight’s Game 2 may end up as low scoring as the fourth was on Saturday, we also don’t think the pace will be quite as furious as we saw early on in Game 1. The big story is James Harden being OUT for Brooklyn due to hamstring tightness. Harden missed all but one possession in Game 1 and while the Nets still scored 115 points, that’s below their season average and they shot 46.9%. Durant and Irving went a combined 23 of 51. But the big surprise was Griffin and Harris going 14 of 24 overall and 9 of 18 from three. We just don’t see those two doing that again. Milwaukee’s three-point shooting was an issue in Game 1 as they missed 24 of 30 attempts. They also were 11 of 19 from the FT line. While those percentages probably will improve, it’s still a very high total that we’re dealing with and we don’t see 15 more total points scored than what we saw in Game 1. Milwaukee is 4-0 Under off a loss. The 115 points they allowed in Game 1 were a playoff high (previous high in regulation was 103). Brooklyn has allowed an average of 104.5 points in four playoff home games. Play on UNDER
