1* atlanta/indiana over 203.5
Indiana made the transition to an up tempo team last year and forgot to add that defense creates offense. They gave up 106ppg last year. To remedy this they signed Dahantay Jones. While this will help with the defensive intensity, the pacers will need a lot better rotations and this still makes them defensive liabilities overall. Offensively there are no such worries as the Pacers had the 5th highest scoring team last year. Led by the ever improving Danny Granger and Energizer bunny Troy Murphy.

The hawks will be solid offensively at all times on the floor due to the fact that they have added Jamal Crawford as their 6th man. He brings some firepower to a bench that was sorely lacking it last year. With another year for a young team like the Hawks to develop, I look for much more polished offensive sets from the Hawks.
I can see both teams putting up 105+ here and that sends this game flying over.
if randy throws a play up will post.

good luck tonight
