Memphis at Utah

Here are two high-scoring teams facing off against each other in Utah. It has the makings of a game with plenty of points scored. Or does it? Maybe that's true, but history has shown in early games in the NBA (November specifically), that over 60% of all games with a first-half total of 105 or higher, play to the UNDER in the first half. You can be sure coach Sloan isn't proud of the defense played by the Jazz so far and will be dealt with tonight. Sloan's teams have played under in the first half at home 60% of the time, and when Utah faces a team with a losing record they have played 235-147 to the first-half UNDER.
