At first glance, only three of nine games have an O/U of 220 or higher and three teams have an O/U lower than 213. While low O/U’s don’t mean you should fade every single player taking part in the game, but you do want to be cautious with how much exposure you have on a game that likely won’t put up very many points. For Friday, the DET/BKN matchup worries me a bit. Both teams do rank top-15 in PACE, but Detroit will be playing on the second night of a back-to-back against a far superior Nets team. This could easily end in a blowout, thus lowering the ceilings of players from both teams
