The G-Man sizes up another playoff total as his freebie this Sunday, and I expect the points to add up at the Staples Center this afternoon when the Lakers hos the Jazz.
These teams closed the regular season on Wednesday in this building, going OVER the posted total of 206.5 points. That makes it 6 straight in this rivalry - playoffs included - OVER the total.
Dating back to the regular season, Utah has played 8 of their last 10 HIGH, while the LA Lakers landed on the UPSIDE in 4 of their closing 5 regular season affairs.
Until these teams prove to me they are interested in playing a half-court, defensive battle, the G-Man will stick with the dominant OVER trends, and play the HIGH at the Staples Center on Sunday.
Take Utah and the Lakers to go OVER the posted total in Game One.
