I like the fact that Utah average 32 free throw attempts on the road. Wash averages 28 free throw attempts on home. This means points on the board with no time running off of the clock.
Utah also averages 105 points on when rested for 1 day. Granted, it's only 2 games, but their average game total on 1 day of rest is 200 for those 2 games.
Washington doesn't quite fair as well in the ppg department on a day's rest, averaging about 90 ppg. Washington does average nearly 100 ppg at home though. I think this will be a very close game with the scoring coming in the 2nd half. Utah does seem to get off to slower starts these days, but I think that they tend to get their legs back under them when they are fresher.
I don't think this game eclipes 185 by many, but I'm looking for it to come in around 188 or 189.
Are there other plays on the board that are better? Perhaps...slim pickings on a small card. This total is a 50/50 split...50% stats, 50% feeling. Everyone caps a bit differently. There are days when I could provide more analysis than I know what to do with. There are other days when I simply "like" a play. I'm divided equally on this one.
Good luck!
