Premium Pick

The Washington Wizards dominated game five to stave off elimination, but still trail the best-of-seven series 3-2, and are once again facing elimination. These teams have both struggled on the offensive end of the floor throughout the playoffs. Out of the 16 playoffs teams, their offensive outputs rank #11 and #13. The better side of things is the fact that the defenses rank #1 and #2 in points allowed. Washington has really struggled on the offensive end in their last six games, five of which have come vs. this Indiana team. The Wizards' output stands at 87.5 points per game in the six. The Pacers managed 101 points in game two vs. Atlanta way back in the early part of the first round, and have not reached the 100-point mark since, topping off at 97. These teams tend to play ugly and on the defensive end, and are both capable of long scoring droughts and long possessions. The Pacers have dug in even deeper on the defensive end following a loss at 4-0 to the UNDER in their last four, and the UNDER is 6-2 in the last eight meetings between these clubs. Only one way to go here - take the UNDER.
