Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:LA Under 3.5 team total★★★★

A cold offense against a number it can't reach

Los Angeles has gone quiet, scoring 1.6 times a game over their last five, and tonight's number asks them to more than double that.

The number

Los Angeles would need to roughly double their recent output to clear 3.5, and nothing in the last five games suggests that is close.

The decider

Forsberg is the weaker net by a wide margin right now — stopping about nine of ten, well off his own baseline — so Los Angeles's side of the scoreboard is the one likely to move.

The context

These two have been playing different games: Boston's games are ordinary, Los Angeles's are quiet. This bet is really a question of which pattern holds. Los Angeles is putting 29.8 shots a game on net and finishing 6.7% of them.

Situational

Boston is on the second night of a back-to-back; Los Angeles is on the second night of a back-to-back — a notch toward the under.
