5* Celtics/Suns NBA Blue Chip Total Top Play: UNDER 189

This total has been set way too high for these two teams. Boston is coming of a game against the Lakers where the two teams combined for 212 points, but their previous three games all finished below 187 points. Phoenix is also coming off a high-scoring game against the Warriors, but the Suns aren't the same up-tempo team from years past. Phoenix is scoring just 94.7 ppg at home and are only giving up 95.5 ppg. With both teams playing their 3rd game in four nights since the break, I look for the pace of this game to be very slow and both teams to really play hard defensively. I'm confident neither team will get to 95 points tonight, which is all we need to cash in this ticket. BET THE UNDER!
