Any NBA team (76ers) playing in March with a total of 220.0 or less that gone under the total by 48 points or great during their previous 7 appearances, resulted in those games going 50-17 (74.6%) under since 1996.

Los Angeles Lakers @ Chicago Bulls
Game# 539-540

The NBA betting odds at Bovada is showing a total of 225.0 for this non-conference game.

The Lakers last 5 away games have manufactured 235.6 points scored per occasion. Throughout that precise time frame, they allowed 123.6 points per game, and were also able to shoot an impressive 48.3% themselves.

Chicago has permitted its last 5 opponents to score 115.6 points per game and shoot 49.3% which includes 44.4% from 3-point territory.

The Lakers are coming off a 120-107 home loss to Boston in their last game. Conversely, Chicago was a 131-108 loser at Detroit during its previous outing. A combination of those 2 results and the current total sets up an extremely profitable NBA betting algorithm.

Any NBA team (Lakers) with a total of 220.0 to 229.5 that’s coming off a game which manufactured 225 points or more being scored, and they’re facing a team (Bulls) that saw a combined 235 points or greater scored during its previous outing, resulted in those contests going 105-49 (68.2%) over the total throughout the past 5 seasons. The average total in those 154 games was 225.5.

Currently, there’s been a high percentage of individual bets and total money wagered been placed on this one going under. I’m taking a contrarian approach when making one of my NBA totals picks pertaining to this game.
Pick: Over 225.0
