Game Totals Pick

Over 230.5(-110)

Reasoning

Just yesterday, the Washington Wizards were in action against the Miami Heat in a game that combined for 288 points. While their game today is unlikely to reach similar heights, we should still have a high-scoring game in their clash against the Brooklyn Nets. This will be the 4th meeting between these teams this season, with 2 of them clearing the combined 230-point mark. That includes their last game in February, which saw them combine for 240-points. The Wizards are down in 28th over the last 10 games in defensive rating and have been giving up 125.5 points per game on the second night of back-to-backs. It should be a perfect opponent for the hosts to pick up their offensive production against.

One of the reasons that the Wizards have been involved in high scoring games is the tempo they set. Over the last 10 games, they are 4th in the league in pace. During that stretch they also allow more fast break points than any other NBA team. It is something the young Nets roster should be well positioned to exploit. The visitors should be able to able to do their part scoring wise, too. Over that same stretch, they are 11th in three-pointers made per game. With the Nets allowing teams to shoot 40.1% from deep during that time, it’s something the Wizards should be able to maintain here. Back the over.

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.
