Total: 218.50 | -106.00 Under
Result: Win
The Over has cashed in five of the six games during this series. So why go against the grain now and play Under?
There are several reasons starting with that these are a pair of top-11 defenses and neither team is up-tempo. There have been an average of 93.5 possessions per game during the series - the slowest pace of any playoff series.
However, Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray have been on fire and the teams have been shooting and scoring above their norm.
Now we have Game 7. If there ever is going to be defensive intensity and pressure it will come in this game.
There's also a new name in the mix - Nuggets guard Gary Harris. He's back healthy and an excellent defender.
