10* TOTAL ASSASSIN (+$60,000 NBA RUN!)
(NBA) Dallas vs. Golden State,
Total: 214.00 | -101.00 Over
Result: Loss
10* OVER (ASSASSIN)

If this opening game was in Dallas, I'd lean to the "under" likely. The Mavericks are off a big upset series victory over the Suns, and I think they carry that momentum over here. Golden State will try to take advantage of a tired Mavericks team that just had to play seven games by picking up the pace from the opening tip off, and continuing that pressure until the final horn. I think the defensive intensity will pick up in this series as it goes, but Game 1 definitely sets up as a higher-scoring affair. Finally, note that Golden State has seen the total go "over" the number in eight of its last 11 home games as a favorite in the -4.5 to -7.5 points range. This number is low, the play is the "over!"
