Game: Charlotte Bobcats at Toronto Raptors Mar 20 2009 7:05PM
Prediction: under
Reason: These teams just faced each other on Monday, at Charlotte. That game finished with 198 (112-86 Charlotte) combined points, sneaking above the closing total of 194. That result has helped to provide us with a relatively generous over/under number for today's rematch.

Note that the Raptors saw their most recent home game finish below the number by double-digits. They held the high-scoring Pacers to just 87 points in that game. That's worth mentioning as Indiana averages better than 104 points per game, the second most in the Eastern Conference. Conversely, Charlotte averages a mere 93.1 per game, the lowest mark in the entire league.

That wasn't a normal result for these teams though, as they averaged just 173.5 in this season's earlier two meetings. Those games had over/under lines of 184 and 186.5 but finished with scores of 93-86 and 89-79. With tonight's over/under line listed a full 10-12 points higher, consider a play on the UNDER.
