Is this a trap tonight?

Golden St at Memphis Total of 200.5
I know this started out at 193.5 but there is something fishy here. The 4 matchups last season between these 2 teams was 230, 229.5, 224.5 and 227.5. Are these teams really that different? I know Golden St lost Baron Davis and Ellis is out, but they have scored over 100 every game. Is Memphis that different? Yeah they traded Gasol, but the this was before the last 2 games. 3 of thes games went UNDER the posted total, but ALL 4 games went well over 200. I dont think Memphis is built to run anymore. They havent scored over 86 yet and they take their opponents down with them. Golden St has scored over 100 every game and 2 of 3 opponents have too, with the 3rd scoring 97. I think I am kind of leaning towards

Golden St at Memphis (UNDER 200.5) Anyone agree? I know a lot disagrees lol

i think vegas realized they made a mistake with this line and its going over. it went from 193 to 200. 7 points is a lot of points to potentially middle...I think they know this game is going over 205ish, so they're hoping the higher number will get unders

But good luck, one of us will win right?

Just bet on GSW -2. They took New Orleans to the wire. Toronto to OT and beat New Jersey easy. Can't see them losing to Memphis

I just like spot here for the over. Both teams are 1-2 and will want this one. Plus I like the fact that they both have a day off before and after this game.

I disagree and think GS has been playing a little above themselves so far and Memphis's type of play, could cause problems for them. I havent got brave enough to pull the trigger on Mem but I know GS scares me in this one. I think I will stick with UNDER and feel safer lol. Good luck on your GS

94 in 1st half, 2nd line is 99.5 so I am assuming books agree this stays UNDER. Might be a good 2nd half play. That 1st quarter was ridiculous with 53 points and then they settled down. Look for more of that as Memphis controls the tempo
