7-7 (-0.46)
SA @ Boston under 185 (1.96)
Playing this mainly based on both teams' most recent games.
SA shot 49.3% last game @ Charlotte, and only scored 94...Boston shot a crazy 59%, inc. 7/9 3's and only got 99.
Last years meeting in Boston was 92-84, where the teams shot a quite normal combined 44%, and there were also 38 fast break points.
I think the total is inflated here because both teams have been involved in OT games so far, but Boston have allowed just 94 (in regulation), 82 and 98 @ home, and SA have scored just 84, 91 (in reg.) and 94 on the road.
SA's scoring is being hurt with Barry and Finley out, and Ginobili is not 100%, scoring only 8 points in 30 minutes off the bench.
The Spurs will want to slow this one down, and either way, I'll be very surprised if either team shoot over 45%.
Good Luck all
