It is no secret that scoring in the NBA is arguably at an all-time high, but some of the totals are over-adjusted and here we see one in the mid-230s. That may be tough as the Sixers' defense had trended upward over their last three games allowing under 103 points per game and held the Pacers to 96 on the road last time out, and they have allowed 40.7% shooting in the three games. Oklahoma City shot just 39% their last time out vs. a Lakers team that plays very little in the way of defense. I think this one comes up short, so make the play on the UNDER.
