This is a 10* TOTAL BK on the OVER Utah/Philadelphia.

Both teams have been involved in several lower-scoring games of late, but this one finally sets up to be more or a wide-open offensive affair in my opinion.

Utah is off a 126-97 loss at Boston just last night. Look for another poor defensive performance here in Philadelphia as well (in their previous game they beat Detroit 154-148 and it was the first time in 15 games that they were held to less than 100 points.)

Philadelphia is just 1-2 SU in its last three after last night's listless 128-92 loss here to the Knicks as 5.5-point favorites. The 76ers have seen the total go UNDER in three straight, but note that they've seen the total go OVER in four of their last five after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row.

Philly has also seen the total eclipse the posted number in seven of its last ten off a SU/ATS home loss as a favorite in which it was held to 95 or fewer points in.

This number is low, the play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
