Games before the All Star break are always a risk with the players thinking about their holidays instead of the contest.
Denver’s last 6 games have all been over 223 combined points which contradicts their recent form in Milwaukee. Although, that could be misleading considering this trip to Wisconsin is only once a year.
Best Bet = Over 213.0

The Lakers last two road games have been very high scoring with both topping 250 combined points. Could have something to do with letting go of Nance and the ball dominating Clarkson.
Have a hunch the Timberwolves may be half looking forward to the break which gives the Lakers some hope for a close occasion. Isaiah Thomas only last 5 minutes last night so will make up for lost time.
Best Bet = Over 223.0
