Free Pick: Under 213.5

This total seems a little too inflated. The total of 213.5 points is rather high considering the fact that Utah is only allowing an average of 94.7 points per game to the opposition when playing at home this season. Additionally, the average point total for Utah’s last 9 home games is 190.6 points and none of the totals of any of these games were close to 213 points. The reason why the total is this high is because the public is overvaluing New York’s ability to score and underestimating its ability to stop the opposition.
