I had two trends in the Lakers/Denver series.
One trend is whoever leads after the 1st QT the other team will cover Qt #2. This has happened in all their meetings this year. In other words one team will cover the 1st Qt and the other team will end up covering the 1st half.
The other trend is based on OVER. Twelve 1st and 2nd Qts has been played up to today between these two teams. 9 of them has hit 54 or better. 10 of the 12 has hit 51 or better. Today's 1st Qt total is 53 which tells us there is a 75% chance that it will go over that number. If you had played the half also based on these numbers you had a high probability that each Qt would hit 54 or better giving you 108 or higher. Today's half time line is 106.
This will still apply to Game 3 but after that I usually go against the trends from Game 4-7.
Denver (o) 53......1st Qt
Denver (o) 106......1st half
Denver (o) 212
