Game One saw an Over/Under of roughly 239 points and the Bucks and Nets fell 17 1/2 points short of toppling that total.

Game Two saw the Over/Under drop a smidge to 238 points and yet we had another Under, this time by 27 1/2 points!

Game Three's total has dropped to right about 234, but what makes you think if these teams haven't been close to the Over column that all of the sudden they are going to all of the sudden shatter this total posted?

These are the two highest-scoring teams in the NBA during the regular season, but since neither game contested has been close to cracking the Over column, I will stick with the Under for Game Three in Milwaukee on Thursday night

This year these teams have landed Under the total now in 4 of the 5 they have played.

The Nets have played 3 straight in the postseason Under the total and 5 of their last 9 overall have landed Under the total.

Meanwhile, the Bucks have played 4 of their last 6 and 6 of their last 10 overall Under the posted price.

I think until we see this Milwaukee offense which has been limited to 107 and 86 points through the first pair of games actually reach their regular season average of 119.4 points per game, you must play them to hold Under the total.

3* BROOKLYN-MILWAUKEE UNDER

There is a little bit of an Under trend cooking with these Los Angeles Clippers here in the postseason as their opening game in Utah against a Jazz team that landed Over the total in ALL 5 of their opening series playoff games against the Memphis Grizzlies landed Over saw the Clippers end that trend by a single point.

The closing total on Tuesday night was 222 points and the teams combined for 221 points. That puts the Clippers on a 4-1 Under run for their last 5 playoff games, but I have a feeling tonight they will combine with the Jazz to land Over the posted total.

Los Angeles was a little fatigued after games on the 2nd, 4th and 6th which saw them finally eliminate the Dallas Mavericks, but I think now that they are locked-in on this new series they will shoot the basketball a bit better in this second game as this game slides Over the total late.

Utah is still on a 9-4 Over run that dates back to the regular season and with Donovan Mitchell back at full force they averaged 127 points in the final 4 games of that Memphis series. Of course they "only" made it to 112 the other night, but that could definitely change tonight.

The scoring is definitely there and with the first game coming so close to eking Over the total, going to look for tonight's second game to actually make it Over the total.

2* L.A. CLIPPERS-UTAH OVER
