Dallas - New York under 210.5
Dallas has averaged 101 points at home and 98 points in its last 5 games while New York has allowed an average of 107 on the road and 101 in its last 5 games. Dallas have scored 100+ points only 4 times in its last 10 games so they are not noted for scoring big while New York have allowed 100+ points twice in their last 4 games as they have stepped up their defence of late. Look to Dallas to hit about the 100 mark but not mouch more.
New York has averaged about 101 points on the road and 101 points in its last 5 games while Dallas has allowed 99 points at home and 93 points in its last 5 games. While NY have hit 100 points in 2 of their last 4 games, they may find it hard here against Dallas who even though they have allowed 3 of the last 4 teams to hit 100 points on them, they tend to play much tougher at home.
Both teams should score around the 100 mark with overtime the only danger for this pick not to hit. Dallas have gone under the posted total in their last 10 games while NY have gone under this total in their last 4 games. Also they have gone under this total in 5 of their last 6 games and 7 of their last 10 games.

San Antonio have scored an average of 98 points at home and 99 points in their last 5 games while LA Clippers have allowed an average of 101 points on the road and 99 points in their last 5 games.
