The oddsmakers have made an adjustment up on this total, but I don't believe they adjusted enough. These teams have combined to average 211.4 points per game in their last five meetings. These two have historically played up in Oklahoma City with a 14-3 mark to the OVER in their last 17 (Seattle included). One of the reasons is the fact that these teams get a lot of points in the paint, a lot of offensive rebounds, and fast break points. They have averaged just shy of 100 points in the paint, 26.4 offensive rebounds per game and 37 points on the break. That is a triple threat that has this total posted too low, so I'll back the OVER.
