Golden State at Sacramento

The playoffs begin the first round with Golden St. at Sacramento. Scoring has certainly gone up in the past several years in the NBA, but this is the playoffs and teams tend to get a lot more physical and defensive. There have not been many playoff games with a posted total in the playoffs from 229.5 and up. All but one of them has been posted since 2016. The problem is this total may be good for the regular season, but in the playoffs, these high totals tend to not get there. All NBA playoff games with a total of 229.5 or more have gone 27-15-1 ATS to the under or 64.3% of the time. If the line range for the home team is +2.5 to -12.5 the totals are 21-6 ATS to the under. I like this game to play UNDER the total.
