*8* Total DOMINATION on UNDER Warriors/Hawks.

The Golden State Warriors have been on a bit of a roller coaster ride since the All Star break, getting blown out at Portland on Friday, and then they nearly blew a 16 point lead in the final minute of a 115-112 win over the Clippers on Saturday. I think they will emphasize playing better defense here at Atlanta tonight. My money is on the total to go under.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - These teams have failed to reach the total in six of the last nine meetings, and tonight's number is significantly higher than it was in any of those prior contests. The Hawks have failed to reach the total in nine of their last 13 games against Western Conference teams.

2. Hawks Struggling - Atlanta is in a bit of an offensive funk, and an injury to PG Jeff Teague isn't going to help. He may still play tonight, but Atlanta attempted 41 three-point shots in the loss to Milwaukee, and hit just nine of them. They are a little out of sorts.

3. X-Factor - The Under is 8-3 in Hawks last 11 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.

Selection: This is a play on the Warriors@Hawks to go UNDER the total (8*)
