AAA's O/U *SIGNATURE* "ART OF THE GAME!"
(NBA) New Orleans vs. San Antonio,
Total: 194.50 | -107.00 Under
Result: Win
This is an 8* O/U ART OF THE GAME on the OVER between the New Orleans Pelicans and the San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs are coming off a humilating effort and have yet to see the total go OVER the number this year; suffice it to say I think the conditions are right for a higher-scoring shootout and look for this total to eclipse the number as the game comes down the stretch. San Antonio is coming off a 98-91 loss at Houston on Thursday. But note, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili didn't even play: "We are a sum-of-the-parts team," coach Gregg Popovich said afterwards. "We have to have all our parts to be at our best. We can't rely on one player. We have to do it as a group. If we have injuries, we need our full bench to continue to play at our best." The Pelicans don't care about the Spurs early problems though, they're coming off a 100-91 win over Charlotte on Tuesday, led by Anthongy Davis who had 24 points and 13 boards. I believe both teams open and push the pace from the outset, note that New Orleans has seen the total go OVER the number in six of its last ten when playing with three or more days of rest, while San Antonio has seen it go OVER the number in five of its last eight after scoring 85 points or less. The situation, the numbers and the trends all point to the OVER as the savvy move in this one.
