The set-up: This one has "shootout" written all over it. OKC is just 1.5 games back of LA, while the Cavs come in having won two of their last three. Cleveland though comes in hungry to get back on track after its two game win streak was snapped in a 102-95 home loss to Minnesota. Note that since joining the starting line-up Colin Sexton has averaged 18.6 points and 3.0 assists per game over his last five. The Cavs average 107 PPG and they allow 113.6. OKC won't be taking anything for granted here after a tough home loss to Denver broke a two-game win streak. OKC averages 107.8 PPG and it allows 102.6.

The pick: Take it for what you will though, but Cleveland has seen the total go "over" the number in both games it's played this year in trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent, while OKC has seen the total go "over" in six of ten at home already. This number is low, play the "under."
