This series is now knotted at two games apiece and so much is on the line for both teams here. That means defenses are likely to take the court early in this one to gain an edge. There is a solid foundation in the playoffs in general with 57% of all of the last 2,134 playoffs games having seen the first half play UNDER. That likelihood gets a boost when you have a home team off a 10+ point win, facing a very good team (winning 60%-75% of their games). Those numbers are 82-48 to the first-half UNDER or 63.1%. I'll go with the first-half UNDER in this one.
