The prospect of another Celtics-Lakers clash in the Finals is appealing, but I want to see Jokic lift the Larry.

No team scored 130 last round.
Phoenix did several SpoFites dirty by walking off the court in Game 4 with a 129-124 win.

Let my adult son take Mom to yesterday's game 7. He is not speaking to us today -- sore throat from excessive screaming. High and low scoring teams in this set is a tough call. I have to think that Celtics on both sides of the ball are sufficiently better than Heat to take both honors.

rcade!
You have this as the last question in the pick 'em form: Pick a team that give up the fewest points per game
But on this page, it sez: Team scoring 130

Current Standings
No team scored 130 last round. For this round the fourth prop is to pick the team that will give up the fewest points per game.
Multiple players had Devin Booker as one of the top three scorers and Nikola Jokic as a top three rebounder. Ufez was the only one to have the Nuggets as top scoring team.
In this round you have to get the top two in the scorer and rebounder props, not three.
