Portland at Miami

Both these teams have played some of their best basketball of the season of late and it is partially due to healing injuries and a change in tempo with it. Portland has scored 100+ in seven of their last tweleve games. Previous to that they managed triple digits just once in eleven games! Defensively they have allowed 100+ in six of the last twelve as well. Miami has been on the same offensive-minded roll. They have touched 100+ in ten of their last eighteen games while they reached 100+ in just four of the previous fourteen. The mindset of these teams is to push it a little more, and the total does not reflect this. So we will ride the OVER here.
