Analysis
Play-In Tournament Total of the Year. My selection is on the 'under' between Golden State and Phoenix at 10 pm et on Friday. We missed with the 'under' in the Warriors 126-121 win over the Clippers on Wednesday. That game was played at just as slow of a pace as we expected with the Warriors getting off only 83 field goal attempts and the Clippers hoisting up 86. The problem was, both teams shot the lights out. In fact, the Warriors connected on a blistering 56.6% of their field goal attempts including 46.3% from beyond the arc. I'm not counting on a repeat performance on Friday, however. Phoenix checks in having held four straight and seven of its last nine opponents to 41 or fewer made field goals. On the flip side, the Suns got off only 79 field goal attempts in their 114-110 loss to the Trail Blazers on Tuesday. You would have to go back eight games to April 1st to find the last time the Warriors allowed an opponent to get off 90+ field goal attempts. The most recent meeting between these two teams totalled only 198 points on this floor but that was back on February 5th and has been long-forgotten by most casual bettors. Take the under (10*).
