10* OVER (ASSASSIN)

The Cavaliers are looking for a big outright upset today, but to do that, I believe they'll have to push the pace and match the Nets at their "own game." The Cavs closed the regular season with a 133-115 win over the Bucks, and I believe they can match that scoring output here. The Nets clearly won't be rolling over and they enter the playoffs on top form after 4 straight wins, including a 134-126 win over Indiana in its regular-season finale. The Cavs may or may not have Jarret Allen back in the line-up, but that just means that they'll have to get out and push the pace in transition a lot more. The Cavs defense allowed an average of 113.3 PPG over their final 26 games, so its offense has been forced to pick up the pace. The total has gone "over" in 5 of these team's last 7 together and all signs point to that steak continuing here; the play is the over!
