Indiana at Miami

The NBA Eastern Conference Finals has come down to a winner take all game seven. These games often play in the half court with the defensive intensity cranked up a notch, especially early as each tries to impose their will on the other. There have been 30 game sevens played over the last 10 years in the NBA playoffs, and the average total posted in those games was 186.7 which is 6 points higher than this full game total. In those 30 games, the first-halves averaged just 87.7 points scored which is 47% of the game total. The game total in this one is 180.5 and 47% of that comes to 84.8 - nearly 4 full points lower than this first-half total. So based on 30 games of game seven history, we have 4 points of value here.
