When you examine the totals in the NBA playoffs you will see that the statistics are somewhat bit lower at the sports book than they were in the regular season.



Just due to the fact the statistics are lower does not mean that the competitions often go under the internet sports book total. That has been demonstrated in the first couple of days in this year’s NBA playoffs.


NBA Playoff Totals
If we go back and examine the statistics we can see that the playoffs produce lower scoring competitions. In the last five years the average NBA match had 199.2 points per match. When you go and examine the playoffs the statistics decline. In the last five years, first round playoff competitions have averaged 193.1 points per match, 2nd round competitions only under 194 points per match, conference finals only under 192 points per match and the NBA finals only under 191 points per match.

Eastern Conference Totals Lower
The NBA playoff totals at the internet sports book in the Eastern Conference are lower than those in the Western Conference. The Eastern Conference has some of the top defensive teams like Chicago and Miami and some of the worst offensive teams like Indiana and Atlanta. The Western Conference has more volatile offensive teams like Oklahoma City and the Lakers so their totals are higher.

Four of the first 6 NBA playoff competitions this year have gone over the total at the sports book. The sportsbooks have established some lower totals and maybe that is one reason why some of the early competitions have gone over. It also appears that this year’s NBA playoffs are more balanced than in past years. Squads like Indiana and New Orleans have been competitive with the Hornets even pulling off an upset vs the Lakers.

NBA Playoff Parlays
The gamblers are more very likely to go with a favorite and over parlay at the sports book but in the NBA it does not often work too. If you take a favorite like Chicago then they quite often must play excellent defense to cover the spread so the favorite-over parlay does not money. A better option for an NBA playoff parlay could be the favorite and the under or the longshot and the over. That longshot and over parlay cashed 2 times on Saturday and also in the first 2 competitions on Sunday.
