The consistent defensive grind dictates this series' scoring. All five prior matchups failed to breach 107.5 in the first half (99, 92, 107, 103, 104), reflecting suppressed possession efficiency and elite DRTG from both sides. The market's 107.5 O/U ignores the established half-court tempo and conservative shot selection. This isn't a transition-heavy affair. 90% NO — invalid if a key defensive anchor (Gobert/Gordon) is out pre-game.
