These teams are 2 of the worst free throw shooting teams in the NBA. The Pacers are dead last in field goal percentage and 3-point field goa percentage. Throughout their previous 5 contests the Pacers are averaging just 108.0 points scored per game and shot a miserable 39.5% from the field. Milwaukee is one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the league. However, the Pacers are holding opponents to an average of 11 made three per game and 29.4% from beyond the 3-points line. Indiana has played 4-1 to the under in their last 5 with an average total of 232.5 and a combined of 225.2 points being scored per game. The Pacers will once again be missing Bennedict Mathurin (31.0 PPG) and Obi Toppin (14.0 PPG) who are both sidelined by injuries.

Milwaukee is coming off a 135-133 home loss to Sacramento. Since the start of the 2021 NBA season, teams like Milwaukee with a total of 230.0 or greater and are outscoring their opponents by an average 3.0 or more points per game, and there was a combined 265 points or more scored during their previous contest, resulted in those games playing 34-10 (77.3%) to the under. the average total during those 44 contests was 238.4 and there was a combined 230.6 points scored per game.

Bet this game to go under the total of 234.0 or higher.

Denver is coming off an 11-21 season that saw them part ways with their head coach after an 18-point loss in the first round of the Summit Conference Tournament. Their new head coach is Tim Bergaster who had a lot of success at Minnesota State Moorhead who plays at the Division 2 level. Bergaster has brought 4 of his starters from last year's team with him to Denver. The Pioneers return 3 players including only 1 starter from a season ago. The Denver roster has 12 new players in all.

Seattle returns 3 starters from a season ago from last year's team which finished 14-18. Their coaching staff led by head man Chris Victor remain intact. Victor has also brought in 4 transfers who all played at the Division 1 level last season. With all that being said I firmly believe Seattle has a huge edge in this matchup against a Denver program going through a large roster changeover and transition.

Bet on Seattle as a point-spread favorite of -12.0 or lower.

Arizona has averaged 14.7 points per game during first half action during their previous 3 contests. Since 2023, the Cardinals have played 7-1 over the first half total on the road versus teams like Dallas that are averaging 24.0 or more points scored per game.

Since 2023, the Cowboys are 6-0 over the first half total at home versus teams like Arizona that own a losing record. During that exact time span, Dallas has played 12-1 over the first half total as a home favorite and there was a combined average of 31.8 points scored. During their 3 home games this season, Dallas has seen a combined average of 37.0 points scored during first half action.

Bet this game to go over the first half total of 27.5 or lower.
