Brooklyn Nets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Total
| O/U | Total | Handle% | Bets% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Over | 228.5 | 70% | 76% |
| Under | 228.5 | 30% | 24% |
Life is too short to bet the under, especially in the NBA playoffs. Brooklyn is 40-41-1 to the over this year while Cleveland is just 36-44-2. These teams have played four times this year and twice they've hit this point total and the other two times, they've been just under. I'd imagine it coming down to the wire (the point total that is). Still, 70% of the handle and 76% of the bets are on the over here so that's likely the way to go.
